The Million Muppet March kicks off Saturday (Nov. 3, 2012) at Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C.
“This is a fun event, we’re not trying to make it a political thing,” Michael Bellavia, one of the event’s organizers, told POLITICO. “We wanted to show that this is something that has a broad base of support.”
They may not want the march to be political, but they’re aware that that’s an uphill climb. They expect other to people to dress up as, say,

“We’ve heard through the grapevine that there are going to be employees who attend as private citizens,” said Bellavia.
