Join GovLoop to Tell America "Government Doesn't Suck"

A lot of people say that government sucks. Living in DC, you’re in the eye of the storm. With anti-government sentiments at record highs, we feel your pain. We know you don’t suck, you know you don’t suck, so let’s let the world in on this little secret.

GovLoop is getting together to put a human face on governmental bureaucracy, to show the country that you’re capable of having a laugh. We’ll be raising awareness for the importance of government activities by attending the Rally to Restore Sanity on Oct. 30 at 10:30 am and showing our support fro Gov't workers with signs and t-shirts, starting from the SOUTH end of the Air and Space Museum.

And seeing as to how this is a GovLoop event, feel free to take pictures, video and engage in discussions that will hit the web!

There will be t-shirts, signs, reasonable indignation and, most importantly, a platform for us to rally around the mantra that “Government Doesn’t Suck.”

So if you were planning on attending the rally anyway, stop by for some swag and solidarity. If not, then this is yet another reason for you to reconsider your plans that Saturday.
