I don't remember doing so, but I may be forgetting something.

I did visit the teabagger protests outside the capitol on the day Obamacare was gloriously passed though.

I protested against the vote suppression and antidemocratic machinations of the student council last February, but that's it.

Yes. I marched in Boston after Election Day 2000 with a sign protesting the miscount in Florida.

Nope.  Never felt strongly enough to want to do that.

I worked hard for a Congressional campaign and was often assigned to "sign waving duty", and of course, about 30 something Tea Party events as well.

I wish I could (seriously), but I work for a living. I don't have the time or resources to "protest" anything unless it's over the Internet from the comfort of my own home.

I'm glad you can make it work, brother. Not all of us can. I wasn't questioning your integrity or ability.

Occupy stuff in Chicago freshman year, various marches on campus (thinking of a political one and a Title IX-related one), and witnessed anti-government ones in Tunisia and France.

I'll echo the whole "slacktivism" line, but will direct it specifically at people like Alfred and Lief. Protests themselves do not lead to that much change, but it shields against cynicism and irony.

I marched in protest of the war in Iraq. Of course, I knew it wouldn't change anything, but it was fun.

I was in the "unruly mob" inside the Texas capital two summers ago that caused the "Citizen's filibuster."
