Below is an email from Tom Rhomberg that might answer some other questions.
[I was thinking of personally donating some money to the group so they don't worry too much about not getting a full bus. I think it will fill up at the last minute, and they could spread the money donated. -karen medina]
In DC, the rally will begin at 12:00 pm on Saturday, March 17 at 23rd St. and Constitution Ave. NW. After the opening rally, we will march over Arlington Memorial Bridge, along Route 27 / Washington Blvd., to the Pentagon, where there will be a closing rally.
