I was hoping the March For Our Lives group would use this latest info in their gun control and voter registration campaign that is on its Summer Road Trip to various cities across the US. RESIST!

our regional NPR report that in Utah some gunners' group was trolling them around the state in an armored vehicle, asswipes, and got their town hall event cancelled because of the threat level.

https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2018/07/14/florida-school-shooting/



Many of the counterprotesters wore white T-shirts from the Utah Gun Exchange, an online firearms business, which encouraged its members to attend the gathering. The company’s executives have recently taken a military-style armored vehicle across the country to follow the Parkland students on tour (though they did not bring the car Saturday).

The day after a Salt Lake Tribune article detailed those efforts, Larry H. Miller Megaplex Theatres pulled out of an agreement to host the survivors’ town hall, fearing “a potentially contentious situation.” Utah Gun Exchange also had led a pro-gun protest ahead of the massive March for Our Lives rally last spring in Salt Lake City.

counseling session today I was deciding that I probably have to go out and get hyperactive, now that I can since I am no longer working and also not a federal employee anymore. It's been a while but the survival of all life on the planet is at stake as far as I'm concerned.

That if I didn't direct my angry energy into resisting I would explode. It is beneficial for the country, the planet, the party, and me personally. After a rally I am on a "high" afterwards. Of course it is great exercise for my upper arms too (holding signs over my head and waving nonstop for several hours at a time). My health is going downhill fast so I have to "make hay while the sun shines".

I just was awarded disability in May so I have a new found freedom to be more active in civic responsibilities. I can't pound pavement or do a lot of physical stuff but I am a halfway decent speaker and I know a lot about government and law/policy so I am thinking I'd better put what I have left to use to try to correct this horrible mess.

I was a teacher and can speak publicly without a problem in my environment but when a local news camera comes up to me I get so passionate I come off sounding like an idiot (I have been interviewed a couple of times at the protests). Last night I avoided the news cameras. Since I was an illustrator too I draw well and have good ideas so my signs are pretty good...that is my asset As a former teacher I am used to yelling all day long so my voice really carries well at the rallies too.

Your skills and knowledge should be very useful to any RESISTANCE organization along with your ability to speak well. Have you joined any Indivisible groups? Here is a link if you want to get a start with them.

Please note (and point out to every conservative you know) that there is ZERO evidence so far of Democrats falling for Russian tricks.
