More than 30 people rallied at the corner of Highways 47 and 100 in Washin
gton, MO at the very hour the “unelected” president was being inaugurated. All signage displayed a positive tone ranging from support for the LGBTQIA community, to saving Medicare and Social Security, to reinforcing public education. Traffic during the lunch hour was brisk and via honks and thumbs up, support for the protesters was high. The attached pictures show Ruth Smith, one of the rally organizers standing road side with numerous colleagues behind. Pictured with Mark Kumming (West County Democrat member in hat) is Tom Smith, a local Democratic committeeman (white hair) and twice a Democratic cand
idate for Missouri House Seat 60 (a highly gerrymandered district in central MO) and Clyde Volkerding, President of Franklin County Democrats (FranklinMoDems.org) This was a great tune up for the massive Women’s March On St. Louis occurring Saturday.
