Johnson, it is said, supposedly looked out the window of the White House and when he saw the multitude of protesters, he decided not to run for re-election and to begin the withdrawal of American troops in Vietnam. It's working in California with the Governator
who has rescinded some of his budget cuts because of the many disabled groups and teachers' groups who camp out on his doorstep. Protests and/or peace demonstrations also empower people not to give up hope and to draw comfort from likeminded citizens. Demonstrations also have an impact on the local congressmen who depend on the people for re-election.
