2004 Men's Congress Day One: Big Success!!

I am very glad to announce that Day One of the 2004 Men's Rights Congress was a big success!! Activists from all over the country converged at a church near Capitol Hill to organize and depart for "Lobby Day on the Hill". I can't tell you the great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that came just from going directly to the seat of legislation and making our case to our senators and Congressmen, or their staffers. Following that, participants made signs and protested in front of the Supreme Court, talking to passers-by, handing out leaflets, and posing for photos taken by tourists and passing media people. From there, we moved on to the Capitol lawn to join fellow protesters for photo ops and to make our presence known there as well.

It was a long but very satisfying day. We remained stolidly undaunted in the face of the heat and humidity. :) We all look forward to tomorrow for the second day of the Congress at the Carnegie Endowment for Peace building.

Oh yes - photos coming soon!
