It was MASSIVE.

Here is coverage from the rally last night on the steps on the Capitol. Pics are here - video to come. The turn out for the rally was exceptional. At last count there were over 800 people. Volunteers walked around with buckets collecting money for a full page ad to go in the Gresham Outlook - calling out Karen Minnis on her treating her seat as more of a monarchy - rather than a democracy by not letting SB1000 come to and up or down vote. We doubled the amount of money needed to run one ad and possibly more.

The speakers were amazing as always - the message was clear - and the House heard us. Here are some pictures...

Thought you might be interested in seeing my own photos of the rally and how it appeared through my eyes:

What an awesome rally. In fact, that is me and my son in the top photo standing in front of the woman with the bag on her shoulder. I was so disappointed and upset after I heard what Speaker Minnis did yesterday. We won't give up though!

Wasn't it amazing. I honestly was afraid about turn out, though we had better turnout than the Day of Action in March. It was truly spectacular. I wish we could have met there!
