No Kings Rally in Florence KY
I just wanted to report on the success of the Florence No Kings rally. According to the local news, the rally had well over 1000 attendees, lined up on one side of Mall Road from the beginning to the end of the road. While I didn't see the whole rally, I did pick up on the enthusiasm and righteous anger of those standing around me. Because it was Mall Road and a Saturday, there was a lot of traffic and we got far more supportive honks and waves from the drives than we got middle fingers and curses. The creativity that people put into their signs was amazing and I felt good being with other people who felt and thought similarly to me.
This was my first political rally and I am glad I went. I have long ranted about politics and have never been known to withhold my opinion but never before attended a rally. This won't be my last.

That's good to know.
I went to a small town in central Maine, it was small but significant in that it was even there. Had one there in October, their first, and there were around 100+ people. It was cold and windy on Saturday. But, there was another rally further up the road this time, a new rally point. There were more than a hundred rallies in Maine alone. I was impressed.
Thanks for the report!
