Today was my first time ever giving a speech at a political rally!
“I’d rather stand up and fight for what I believe in than stay home and accept what I don’t.”
Here I am trying to work up my nerve [@min. 2:55], and then going for it [from 3:45-6:45].
2016-12-19 DECEMBER19.US MASS STATEHOUSE RALLY TO STOP TRUMP [12:34]:
(Thanks to my friend Zareh and to Facebook Live for the footage.)
Here are some media coverages of the event:

What a treat to see my friend Zareh today!
AND to start becoming acquainted with “the People’s Building,” our own State House.
More to come.
Vigilance every day is the price of freedom.

Jenny great spirit and a good job. If your dedication to sound government had taken place in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania before the election it would have been NO TRUMP. You should consider running for the city council. love
Wow Pops that means a great deal to me coming from you. Thank you. And forget Santa; we’re so happy YOU are coming to town …TODAY! Travel safe!
God Help America, indeed. Daily vigilance is the price of freedom.
Thank you, Jenny. It’s people like you who will save this country from destruction.
