The Conservatives responded with a "Day of Truth." The National Day of Silence did make an impact.
Wow, the church ladies made a speech/potluck in response. What a suprise. That's one hell of a response, and it got just as much done as the day of silence: nothing.

I can't stress the importance of being involved with your legislature. Our representatives cannot accurately represent people who do not interact with them. One of the easiest and most effective ways of communicating with the legislature is to send letters (at least in the States). I'm not trying to be mean or intolerant, it just bothers me to no end that people are angry at our government, but they won't do anything worthwhile (like voting, writing letters, or meeting with representatives) to change it. Demonstrations and the like usually make things worse, not better.
