…and I went, well damn I am going to take Rx Motrin and my cane and go to the rally. I will make some noise for you!

Fortunately, my town seems to hold street corner rallies and not marches. The last one I went to there were about 2,000 people.

I’m wearing my Ruth Bader Ginsberg t-shirt ( “ If your voice held no power they wouldn’t try to silence you” ) and side 1 of my cardboard sign has the Bible verse RBG had on her SCOTUS chamber wall: “Justice, justice shall you pursue. “ Side 2 says: “Who the hell are we if we don’t have due process? “

Get well soon!
