Today President Donald Trump took over the White House.
Tomorrow there will be numerous Women's Marches in various cities around the country. I can't speak for organizers in other cities, but the Oklahoma City march is an opportunity for people to come together and show support for each other. It is not a protest as some of the national media is portraying the marches, but an opportunity for people with differing views to come together and show that they CARE about the issues facing our great nation. To those who like to sit around and complain, this is an opportunity to do something positive. A group of ladies from Blaine County will be heading to OKC in the morning. Not to protest, but to stand united for human rights.
The next step is to email and send letters to your representatives in Congress telling them that you want them to step up and work together for the best interests of America. They need to get over the "we just to prevent the 'other party' from having any success" attitude and work together to come up with solutions. It does no good to call the President's office; it is the legislature that proposes and passes laws. We the people of America need to stay persistent in holding our government responsible. Remember that they were voted into office by us and are public servants. They should not be working toward their own private agendas.
I am hopeful for our future -- for all Americans.
