Husband can't make it because he has another commitment that can't be moved to a different date. (In fact, he's going to be tied up all weekend.)

The protests in my sleepy little suburb have been very peaceful so far; lots of people with signs but drama free. I know that anything can happen in Schlump's America, but I feel pretty safe protesting out here. We're on the outermost edge of the Chicago suburbs, and I'm sure the attention of Schlump and his goons will be focused elsewhere on Saturday.

My favorite part of doing these things is being part of a big crowd of people who share my disgust at what Schlump is doing to this country. It's a fantastic feeling to know I have so much company!
