The Million Puppet March

The Million Muppet March is a protest against Romney's plans to cancel government funs towards public television, part of which is Sesame Street. The march is taking place on November 3rd, 2012, three days before the presidential elections. The idea was created when two men, Chris Mecham and Michael Bellavia, had the same idea when watching the presidential debate. Bellavia bought a web adress after Mecham made a facebook page coincidentally, under the same name: Million Muppet March. All attendors are encouraged to bring a puppet, hopefully making this the largest gathering of puppets ever. The march will take place at the National Mall in DC from 9am until noon.
