Protest rallies: Signs of the times

I love the Op-Ed section of the paper. I believe we all need to write at least one letter on something we’re passionate about in our lifetime. In saying that, I applaud this reader

I participated in an anti-Trump demonstration on April 5 in Issaquah. I proudly walked with more than 1,000 of my fellow Americans, and I was delighted with the many intelligent signs I saw. One that was very insightful said:

“This is a sign.” That sign had arrows pointing in every direction at the large gathered crowd. Yes, it is a sign.

Then there were these signs:

“The only minority destroying the United States is the billionaires.” How true.

“No due process for some means no due process for all.” Also true.

“All of my outrage can’t fit on this sign.” Ditto.

“Things are so bad, even the introverts are here.” That is bad, isn’t it?

“Fight truth decay.” Humor strikes a true note.

“Keep the immigrants. Deport Trump.” Something devoutly to be wished.

I believe as they believe. And it makes me sad to have to be here, but proud to know that so many of my fellow Americans feel as I do about President Donald Trump.

The man menaces us all.
