Thanks, as always, for keeping us apprised on the many happenings in Washington and beyond. We had a massive, 1,000+ person protest and march here in Asheville, NC on Saturday. I took lots of video and photos. Not sure how to share those with The Contrarian, but happy to do so!
We had 75+ people at an "overpass rally for Ukraine" in red red Shenandoah County VA on Saturday. The truckers on I-81 were amazingly supportive, as was the vast majority of car traffic locally and on the highway. No advance publicity; only word of mouth. We're doing it again this Saturday. We have great pictures - how do I get them to you?
