We had our two grandchildren with us, 8 and 11, and two puppies, or we would have gotten out to join you. I was just crying seeing you all out there.

FWIW, my husband and I go to almost every protest in our Wisconsin town in support, except for a couple of popups that we didn't know about. We truly believe we're making a difference getting out there in large numbers. But you guys in Minneapolis...whew!
Sending love.
