rally. My overall health keeps me from participating in events like this in current times--not really an excuse since Rev., Jesse Jackson, Jr. joined the march during the week and he was seriously ill within the past year.

And of course, Beto. And how old is Rev. Jackson? Amazing that he was able to participate, but then he would be a huge draw - along with Willie Nelson.
And I think you can be excused, not to mention the long trip, but you participated by sharing this with us, I've been following this too - all that's going on in Texas affects us nationally, this is the test case and we know that voter suppression efforts are happening in most states now.
