How about something that features all of the local protests yesterday 
which didn't happen in the District? Like the one on Frederick and the 
school walkouts?

San Francisco:
"Donald Livingston, a 47-year-old financial analyst, was on his way to 
work, marching through what looked like a parade of suits, when he 
changed his mind and joined the protesters. "I'm from Ohio," he said, 
"and when I went back home last week, I found that everyone I talked to, 
from the gas station cashier to the guy who parked my car, was against 
this war. This morning, I decided that it's important for those of us 
who are against it to show it, so that we can prove that the polls are 
dead wrong. The majority of Americans do not want this war.""
