It's time.

On 1/21/17, over half a million of us----maybe a million----rode buses to DC to take part in the Women's March. We gathered to protest Trump because we THOUGHT he'd be a racist, misogynistic, arrogant and ignorant president---totally unfit. Well, now we KNOW all that is true.

Isn't it time we return in at least equal numbers and STAY until the Republicans in Congress do their patriotic duty and rid us of this dangerous dictator wannabe?

If you can get rid of this awful clown, (apologies to every clown in the world)..you will be doing the entire world a great service.

Sparkly and I were there in DC. It was an amazing event. And it was repeated across the country. Literally MILLIONS marched. MILLIONS.

Donnie Two Scoops like numbers. Let's give him some numbers. Size matters to him. Let's show his sorry ass what a REAL crowd looks like.

We need to pick the time. I have made a promise to myself to make my way to DC (I'm in CA) to join an continual protest when Mueller is fired.

a gofundme or whatever they are/it's called to help underwrite the effort? Some of us have elderly parent or other time consuming responsibilities that prevent us from participating in the actual event. But to my way of thinking there can not be a more important cause that is deserving of my contribution...... the Orange Menance not sitting in the Oval Office because we made it happen sends an incredible msg to the Repugs.

before they take that right away from us, cause we know that they do not give a crap about our rights to a free assembly.

Oh yes this is vital right now, but should we have just one issue instead of multiple issues to protest, could be hard since he is burning fires on so many levels.
