you made a good point, but you never know unless you try. i'm happy to take an hour out of my time for this man.

I'd much rather buy a plane ticket and head to participate in a large scale event in Washington.

Parallel events in a few places, maybe? Requires a bigger turn-out, of course...

It seems that all of the "major" marches, gatherings, etc. in history have all been events that took place in one location.

One that comes to mind is the Million Man March[0] on the National Mall in 1995. I'm not sure it would have had the same effects it did if it were 2,000 men here, 4,000 men here, and so on.
