According to the Washington Times, tens of thousands of Americans marched on Washington, D. C. today to protest government spending. The Washington Post also ran a story on the march, calling it an anti-government protest.
The articles in the Washington Post and the Washington Times listed some of the protest signs:
"Cash for Clunkers! Trade in your congressman!"
"Go Green Recycle Congress"
"King George Didn't Listen Either!"
"How Is That Hopey Changey Thing Workin' Out For Ya?"
Protest is an important part of democracy. In American, people can protest without fear of government retaliation. I applaud these people for making the trip to Washington to voice their concern. It is the responsibility of all Americans to pay attention to what the government is doing and to speak out in support or opposition to whatever is going on at the moment.
