RE: Unalienable Rights...

Greetings Visionaires -

I strongly agree that selection of the ROTC building as a rallying/starting 
point for the march was ill-conceived at best.  I seriously doubt that there 
will be any support forthcoming from the ROTC building.  The most the marchers 
can hope for at the ROTC building is a small verbal skirmish (and that is even 
doubtful).  The Poli-Sci building would be a decent selection.  However, to 
make a real statement, nothing beats the Admin Building.  It worked in the 60s 
and it can work now.  Simply start at the steps of the Admin Building and march 
to the Fed building (using all the major thoroughfares).  I assume that the 
purpose of this march is to get noticed and make a statement.  

Just a suggestion (although you will not see me supporting such a march).
