I made it to the Connecticut rally just in time, despite leaving a little late.
I am glad I did, as I saw some great speakers, and do not feel along in CT anymore. Quite the contrary, actually. I feel like I am not doing enough now!:O Well, I'm motivated for more, and I know others are as well.
We had 3 legislators speak on the back steps of the capitol building, as well as a lobbist and representatives from the group that organized it. It was poor weather, yet I would say maybe 75 people were there. There was press coverage, police protection, but not one counter-protester.
I was impressed by the people that arrived. It wasn't all 4X4 driving hicks like myself. All sorts of professions, ages, creeds, and both sexes were well represented. That made me smile. There was one person there that made me a tad nervous, as he was scribbling notes on participants, but was not participating. I figure he was a reporter, but what was weird is that he wrote down that one person was smoking a pipe, and the position of where a person was standing witha a flag. Don't have a clue what he was doing. No harm done, I guess.
Anyway, I'd like to hear what other states did, so please share.
