NORTH COUNTY RESISTANCE PROTEST IN NEHALEM, SATURDAY

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Dear Protesters,
The following is a note I received from Ed and Mary Gallagher this past week.

We will be protesting in Nehalem on Saturday, January 24, from noon to 2 PM. Please join North County Resistance in this PROTEST. The past two weeks we have had 70 plus people at this PROTEST. Thank you to all who have come. As you all know it is going to be cold. Dress in layers, bring hats and gloves. Wear double socks and a scarf. The North County Resistance can’t thank you enough for joining us. Best, Patty

In November 2026, we’re looking forward to our family and friends to tell us that we are alarmist and full of it, and we are not looking forward to thinking “We told you so.” Time will tell. If our concerns are correct, our Democracy is in big trouble. Here’s some facts that are disturbing to us and hopefully to you also:
* ICE has a huge budget and is hiring agents at an extreme rate, reportedly giving them little training compared to our typical law enforcement.
*ICE is conducting immigration enforcement unlike we’ve seen before, roaming the streets in masks, toting assault rifles like they’re looking for El Chapo!
* Trump is now openly saying he may have to invoke the Insurrection Act to quell real or perceived violence in the streets.
* Trump has tried to use the National Guard with limited success, and now he has ICE growing its size, the Trump Army.
* Trump’s plan? Cancel the midterm elections and if that doesn’t work, use his Army to go to polling stations to intimidate voters.
* About 25% of the country thinks this would be great, keeping Trump in total control, that Democracy isn’t good for America. When you have such a wonderful leader, why do we need two parties? They also think the January 6 attack on the Capitol was justified. What do the other 75% think and are they willing to just let this happen, watching from the sidelines?

If you believe, like us, this is the direction Trump is moving, speak out!! Hopefully Republican Representatives and Senators will wake up. They need to reduce funding for ICE now to prevent the Trump Army from continuing to grow. Call Republicans, write to them and please feel free to share this email with your family and friends…the time is NOW!

Couch Potato

Submitted By: elzbah@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Our old dog has gone beyond and we’re lonely for another furry one. BUT, there’s a list:

Needs to be an adult dog, low energy – we can take them for walks but not heavy exercise. But not so old we’ll have to say good bye right away.
100% house trained.
Furry coat preferred (opposed to flat smooth coat).
No Jumper-uppers, no yanking on leash.

We offer: home all day, dogs welcome on the furniture, car rides whenever not too hot, rural property (there is a fenced area, not right out the door), multiple daily walks, treats.

Let me know if you know of any likely candidates!
