With what message should people take to the streets? The election was a fraud? Elections in general are a fraud? There was some funny stuff in Ohio, but Bush really won this time. Do you want to protest the American electorate? Or is it just fun to take to the streets, and who needs a message?

By the way, I just heard that busses from NY to DC for the inaugural protest have been cancelled for lack of interest.
