She probably learned from the political unrest as she came of age in the 80's.

Tianenman Square as well as the continued protest against the unresolved aparthied of S.Africa.

The global protesting against brutal dictatorships, on behalf of free societies plays out in each generation.

Credit the political generations who came before in guiding the next in righteous purpose .
It is a duty to the societies that will follow.

Thank you. Mary Jo Laupp for passing the political torch to the next generation & directing them howw to succeed in their efforts.

A 51-year-old Iowa woman has led an effort get President Donald Trump to address an empty auditorium when he speaks at a campaign rally next week.

Mary Jo Laupp posted a video on video sharing platform TikTok last week encouraging her followers to register for Trump’s campaign rally in Oklahoma and then not attend. The plan is designed to purchase as many tickets as possible, forcing the president to address a largely empty auditorium on June 20.

“All of those of us that want to see this 19,000 seat auditorium barely filled or completely empty go reserve tickets now and leave him standing alone there on the stage,” Laupp told her TikTok followers.
