Thanks to so many of you, NO KINGS3 in Manzanita was a huge success. We were 755 people strong, but if you consider the people who went by in cars, waving and hollering out as many windows that could, we were much more than that number. We are a crowd of old, middle aged, young, and children. We are a crowd of people showing our government we are not happy and we want change.
And always the question comes up “what good do you think you are doing?” I personally can’t imagine doing anything better, except for letting our government, elected officials know we are not happy with what is going on. We elected these people by giving them our vote and now feel like they have turned against us. They have turned against us by not stopping Trump, his War, his obvious disregard for both the people that voted for him and the people who voted against him.
Type a question into your browser-how much does it cost for Trump to travel in our Boeing 747 between Washington D.C. and Mara-Lago. Answers come up anywhere from $200,000 per hour to 1 million dollars per round trip. So, let’s now compare this with our local gas going up to $5.15/gallon for regular gas. This should infuriate everyone! We are told by Trump to just “suck it up”. Sad, sad, sad.
So, yes, keep protesting, keep writing your letters, help people and we will find our way out of this. Don’t give up!
Best,
Patty
