We got 7000+ out and actually got onto Michigan Ave this time -- the big demo at the start of the war was 15000, so I don't think we are doing too badly here in Shytown. Elsewhere I can't say.

I think people are burned out on marching, generally, that the demo strategy has lost some of its effectiveness, and that the split between the two main anti-war groups has caused problems.
