[image: image.png] opening thoughts: This was posted on my Facebook page -I need to share it here & as I noted: we must do what we can no matter where we are, alone is tough but as my friend wrote, inspiring!Big crowds are great but I saw the most poignant rally today driving home from caring for my mother. It was pouring rain as I was driving through Winchester NH – nobody around but a rain-drenched woman all alone holding up a Hands Off sign. This rally of one was the most powerful and made me teary and proud. Whoever you are, thank you for standing up for democracy, decency, and humanity.
