| "RESIST!" message to Trump (Pacifica) |
A diverse group of people, estimated to be 500, started showing up at 10:30 a.m. in wait for an overhead helicopter to film the event. People filled up the outline of the letters 'R-E-S-I-S-T-!' in the sand. Between 11:30 a.m. and noon a helicopter was filming the people. .... 'The mood here today was peaceful, celebratory and fun,' continued Fran Hardcastle, who thanked the many individuals who donated money to help defray the cost of the helicopter. 'We made this event public because we wanted to have people come and show their support and solidarity with our sister event in San Francisco.'
'Today’s event is a continuation of the democratic process; regular citizens who are passionate about being an advocate in the political climate nationwide, here in our hometown and our state for everyone,' said Ria Tajbl, who used Facebook to spread the word of the event. 'People showed up,' said Tajbl, smiling. 'Men, women, children and even well-behaved dogs. It’s a wonderful sight.' 'Human rights are everybody’s rights,” added Tajbl. 'We are standing up for our rights, being active. We are calling our congressional people, asking them to vote a certain way. We are trying to protecting what we have. This is not just about new issues'. " Read more.

To spectators on the beach, the purpose of the protest may have seemed unclear. But from the sky, there was no question. Thousands of people spelled out 'RESIST!!' on the sand. Organizer Brad Newsham wrote on Facebook that 'a close study of a high-resolution overhead shot shows between 4,600 and 5,600 participants.' ....

What's the difference between a Liberal to a puppy????? When a puppy grows up it stops whining then knows better to stay off the streets.
