from the nearest big city where actions and marches would take place. If I marched here where I live I'd only be inconveniencing deer and ducks...LOL. I'm voraciously reading everything I can to educate myself on the cabinet picks, AKA "The Clowns of The Apocalypse", and I'm still trying to educate and enlighten the few of my Facebook friends I have left who are R's - but toning down my hysteria, and trying to present facts. I know, they don't like to be confused with facts, but if I can't/won't stop trying. If I can't actually turn any R's, maybe I can sway a center or an Independent that evil is upon us and we need their numbers.
