Ohhhh, Jesse, your essay gave me goosebumps. I agree 100% with you and you expressed it so well. I wish I could attend one with you. I'm attending local townhalls and sending letters to our representatives. I haven't found a rally close to me yet but I'll keep looking. Our town of pasadena is pretty small. When I lived in Sacramento I attended rallies for women rights and anti-trump during his first presidency.
There are so many issues/causes to rally for....
I'm scare to lose my SSDI check and Medical insurance. With my disability is very important and expensive.
If his plans destroying ssi and medicare goes through there will be millions of protesters. That is our power.
I wish I had a six stars left.
Well done!!!

Thanks, my friend, for your inspiring review. You are doing all that you can to make a difference in our country. Attending rallies and sending letters are just some of the many things we can do to make a difference. Together we stand, divided we fall. I understand your fear of losing your SSDI check and benefits. I am also in fear, and that is why I protest and go to rallies. We must fight the good fight.
Thanks for your virtual six and the hugs.

The ones who outnumber us are rich and privileged. He doesn't pose a threat to them.
Those who he threatens need to speak up. I will speak for both of us, my friend.
Thanks for the hugs.

Wow, I'm proud of you that you stood up for our country. Your story is well written and described the protest well. I pray for our country. I have never seen it like this. You are right. If we can stick together we can fight this.

Personally, I don't believe protests do much good. They may make those involved feel good, and you did an excellent job of explaining how going to the protest made your feel. I know there are great problems with women's rights in many parts of the world, but the U.S. isn't one of them. Women here have secured their rights. I fear for women in places like Afghanistan, where the Taliban have taken away rights the women had gained. Trump was duly elected by popular vote, no matter how many protests there are. If protesting floats your boat, that's good for you. It's not my thing. Be careful you don't get into a group that resorts to violence. judi

I applaud you for getting out there and being a part of this rally. It is so important now that those of us who disagree with the president on so many issues be heard. Excellent story here that makes the reader feel good.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Isn't it amazing that we progress so far with human rights thanks to some incredible activists who have gone down in history, and then one man, backed by a gang of MAGA hooligans, thinks he can turn all those achievements on their head? It's such a relief to hear that there's now this backlash by rallies, such as yours, of responsible, thinking people who are being neither silent or compliant (I like the poetry of your sign:)) Well done to you, Jesse, for investing your heart and soul in this one. A virtual six from me. Best wishes Debbie

Thanks, Debbie, for backing me up with those member-cent pumps and wonderfully respectful reviews. You and your opinions are dynamite! I agree, we can't stay silent. The time has come to speak our minds by protesting, although we must keep it legal and respectful of the law. Thanks for the virtual six!
We must continue to fight the good fight!

Comment from Mike Stevens
Another fine write, Jesse, and good on you for showing your outrage and sadness about the direction of the country today. I get reviews all the time, although not as many as of late, saying I'm repeating myself, and to maybe give it a rest. My answer is I'll keep on repeating myself as long until the threat he poses is gone!

You will continue repeating your message, Mike, until he is out of office and our country is back on its feet. Don't let them get you down. Some reviewers don't understand the importance of putting out the message of strength in numbers.
We will persevere in the end!

Your story really shared the energy of the rally! I love how you described the growing crowd. And the excitement of being surrounded by like minded people. It seems like your feelings for equal rights is so strong. And it's great to see that determination shine through. Well done!

It sounds like you had a great day and these rallies are fine when they stay peaceful, the problem arises when people get too over excited and upset others. Glad you enjoyed yourself Jesse, it is good taking part in events like this, thank you for sharing this experience with us, love Dolly x

Good for you, Jesse! I don't understand why he is doing what he is. Not only is he upsetting America's allies, he's making many Americans suffer. I just don't understand it. But Well done on you and Connie for going out there and being counted! I can understand you feeling empowered! :)) Sandra xxx
