I can only recall twice that our area
of Boundary County every Protested any thing. I know it been in the
news march on washington
Question time...what is there march
about? I have no trouble people
marching for a cause even if I don't agree. There such marches as FRY ARMY, WOMAN SUFFRAGE, RABBI MARCH, PROMISE KEEPER, MILLENNIUM MARCH, TAX PAYER, MARCH FOR LIFE, OCCUPY WALL STREET, FORWARD ON CLIMATE, DEMOCRACY SPRING, or the MARCH ON WASHINGTON.
But looting and vandalizing isn't petitioning your government.
Statement time...I didn't vote for
Trump and I don't agree complete on electoral collage most state
like Idaho is winner takes all. Sure here in Idaho Trump took not
quite 60% of the votes. But Clinton took Just over fourth of the
votes.
Then the rest was under 10%...I
don't see why Clinton a lease didn't get one of the electoral college
vote from my state....Opinion time...I feel my vote was waste of gas
here in Idaho.
But I don't see
.marching and protesting because he won. But if a policy bothers you
petition your
government.
It simple my
candidate didn't win. Does that mean I should be Marching because I
didn't get my way.
Sure I been
watching his policy and I do keep in touch with my elected officials.
As for my home
area. Like I said I can recall a protest and walk out. The local
educators marched once when our governor visited our area.
My youngest Bart
was still in high school and came home with wide eyes and said
“There protesters and they even have signs.
Ages ago one of
sawmill went on strike.
But the town just
south of us is having a MARCH
Start to cut some
red strips for rag rug. It's a little harder to fine red fabric. I
could go to a store that sell fabric but I have trouble with the
ideal of paying $10.00 a yard and something that ends up on the floor
bothers me.
I went though my
tote of fabric which I bought at a rummage sale. Seeing what I could
fine in possible reds.
I took these few
piece out.
I did find a nice
size piece I could use in the quilting class in Troy. And there other
colors that would complaint it.
If I was a senior
the class would be free. But still have to pay the out state fee of
$15.00. So my friend Alice will pay only out state cost of $15.00
and I will pay $35.00.
Still not bad.
Monday I'm riding
over to NEWPORT WASHINGTON LaWalla has a
doctor appointment there. She said she going to stop at BEN FRANKLIN in Old Town. They do have a
good selection of fabric and there prices are about the same as our
local one here.
Since I bought the
aqua and yellow at wal mart. Order a bias tape makers kit, and
order coral from
FABRIC DOT COM I'll have to wait
a before I purchase much more.
I have enough fabrics for quite a few projects.
But I'll ask if
she has the time to stop by a thrift store and see if they have any
red fabrics.
We just got our
gas heat bill. Just under $73.00
It snowing but
it's light and it note accumulating much. Well I'm still looking for
help to help me pay for possible Vet bills for Daisy and there is
link on right hand side called “Daisy Teeth Cleaning”
Coffee is on
People are not only marching in the USA but around the world too.I've seen the campaigns even over here on this side of the world. I suppose the theory is that you should never sit back in silence when you have the chance to speak for what you believe is right - even if you're in the minority. But... I personally believe it must be done peacefully otherwise you loose all respect for the issue you're standing for.
ReplyDeleteThose reds are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there's any marching or protesting going on in my country.
It wouldn't do any good anyway.
The reds are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYes protesting because your candidate didn't win is silly that's democracy
Protest for unfair laws, discrimination and for anything you see is wrong in the world
I can't see where protesting does anything besides give a person a chance to blow off steam. I may be wrong, just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteHave you looked into Joanne's Fabrics sales?
I marched. And it wasn't about my candidate losing, it was about me addressing my government, about the policies that will shape the next four years.
ReplyDeleteThe red is pretty
I think the marches were peaceful Dora. I was thrilled to see so many woman walk in protest against this horrible man who is now your president. I think the changes he makes will not be better for most people.. it's possible we could all be wrong, if we are, I will be the first to admit I was wrong 😊
ReplyDeleteWhat happened electorally was unprecedented. And the idiot now holding office is behaving in narcissistic, childish ways. The government is preparing to gut social security, get rid of the ACA, and is threatening to roll back all of the programs and progress we've made over the last several years. The administration is lying about how many attended the inauguration, for pity's sake!
ReplyDeleteThe protests are a way to show that we're not going to sit back and take this nonsense. (I did not march. I support those that did.) We must resist this blatant attempt to wrest power from the people. He doesn't care about us. He's just out for himself.
I did not march. I support those who did. We are in danger of losing rights it took years to get. Just as one example, I remember, before IDEA, my mother in law's neighbor who had a son born with a defective heart had to fight for her son's right to a Free and Appropriate Public Education. They wouldn't even transport him to the school. Now, this administration's pick for Education Secretary doesn't seem to have much knowledge of what IDEA is. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
