We did something on Saturday that was a first for us, and that I am so glad we did. We participated in the No Kings protest in our town.
Mike and I have been unhappy and frustrated with the current president and his administration since the day he was inaugurated. The chaos and cruelty that has been unleashed by these people is beyond my comprehension.
However, I am thankful to live in a country where we have the right to free speech and peaceful assembly, and to VOTE!
We even made signs. Mike wins the award for the one who was most asked to have his picture taken with his sign! There were also many veterans there which was very heartening for him. I think he spoke to every one of them.
And finally - my favorite signs of the day.
If you're still here, and read my whole post - thank you! I know this is not my typical topic, and that some of you, my friends and readers, have a different point of view from me. But isn't that - the freedom to espress our opinions - really what makes America great?! ❤️💙❤️💙

YES! Kudos to the Bottrells!
Good for you! It is good see people standing up to the nonsense.
I love your signs and I so totally agree it is so nice to be able to protest if we wish to - something needs to be all this spreading terror and angry, dropping bombs on other countries just because you feel like it just isn't right and I keep wondering when will congress do the right thing and get him out of office instead of thinking of themselves instead of the people
Glad you protested. We are just shaking our heads on this side of the border. Gail at the cozy quilter
That is the best part about this country, we can share our opinion and of course, vote our preference!
Excellent signs. Yay for freedom of speech!
I live in Loveland CO also and have been present for many protests there, in Fort Collins and in Berthoud. Welcome!! It is so encouraging that you and your husband participated. As the saying goes, Power to the People! Karen
I'm with you all the way. I would think many veterans are horrified at what is happening.

Of course I am still here! Freedom of speech is so foundational to our nation! So is voting! Discussion about disagreements leads to understanding and change as opposed to 'my way or the highway'. :)
