Saturday We the People Want Hands Off Our Democracy In Downtown Wichita Falls

I previously made mention of wondering if Wichita Falls will join this coming Saturday's worldwide protests against the Trump Lunacy, in a blog post titled Final 2025 March Saturday At Sikes Lake.

Well, we now know there will be a protest in Wichita Falls on Saturday, with the theme being “We the People Want Hands Off Our Democracy.”

The protest Saturday will take place from 1 til 3 in the afternoon, at the park across the street from the building known as Big Blue, at the intersection of Scott Avenue and 8th Street.

I have not yet decided if I will be joining the protest...

George Floyd Protest Today In My Old Burlington Hometown

Watched most of the George Floyd Memorial today. Don't know if I have ever heard an entire Reverend Al Sharpton speech before. Now I have and I gotta say, I was impressed. One of the things Sharpton mentioned was the fact that these current American protests inspired by racial injustice have a feature not seen at any time previous.

As in, in city after city, from New York to Seattle, there are more white faces than faces of color. Truly the times they are a-changing, with white Americans joining in chanting "NO JUSTICE NO PEACE".

And now this afternoon, via Skagit Breaking, on Faceback, I saw video of today's protest in my old hometown of Burlington.

Burlington is a little town, population currently 9,124. The video catches the end of the protest. The narrator apologizes for the language you see in the above screen cap.

Another screen cap is below. And below that I embeded the video.

Sunday Protest Against Fort Worth Mayor Moncrief

Incoming from Don Young. Get yourself downtown to protest Fort Worth's Mayor Mikey and his outrageously corrupt conflicts of interest regarding natural gas drilling in his town, from which he receives revenue in a criminal conflict of interest that would have had him booted out of office and serving time in jail had this taken place in more enlightened locales in America.

Below is the Protest Information.....

Who among you are willing to exercise your right to protest the Mike Moncrief administration?

You can do so today...

When: Sunday, 9/21/08. Noon - 2 pm

What: Mayor Mike Meat & Greet (fundraiser)

Where: Railhead Smokehouse (on the sidewalk around the building)
2900 Montgomery St. (just south of I-30 behind the Shell station)
Parking on the street

Bring: A picket sign with your message for Mayor Mikey.

Many people believe that Moncrief with the support and collusion of his "Seventh Street Gang" of good old boys, his Oil and Gas buddies and hand-picked elected officials are DIRECTLY responsible for an out of control gas drilling ordinance that affects YOUR health and safety, YOUR property values and YOUR parks and quality of life.

In Fort Worth, the buck stops with Mike Moncrief.
