Yes, it is a national movement -- and many might say it is obviously a national movement. But -- what, exactly, is it about? That's not always so clear. It's about a lot of things, and "the movement" doesn't identify all those things, or take a consistent position on all of them.
Should G.A.s work together? I'd say they should be better interconnected than they are, and they should be developing better organizational methods.
They do share a common agreement, regarding the procedures of the G.A.s. But they don't all take the same position on issues -- which might keep the movement weak.
How could an agreement be created? Though a lot of very bright hard work.... :):)
