Peaceful protest today, April 19th in Rancho Bernardo. We had hundreds of peaceful protesters and cars honking, with very few maggots giving us the finger. Democracy is winning.
A collection of protests and their signs.

This is the absolute truth. Too many electeds now consider their political careers first, and their constituents last. You're there to create legislation & work to govern the nation, not fold to bullies. If it's that easy to give away your Constitutional powers, you don't belong there.
