A fairly small but very determined group of protestors convened at congressman Jeff Crank's office once again on Friday, myself included. I'd say about 15 to 20 us turned up in total, and they allowed five at a time to come inside and speak with the congressman's staff. Most of us brought letters addressing various causes of concern (for me, it was the US Postal Service, since Pat is a postal worker). We handed over our letters to the men who were running interference for the congressman -- supposedly Crank wasn't in the office, but I don't necessarily believe anything they told us -- and then went outside to carry on protesting. It was windy and chilly, but that didn't discourage anyone. As we stood on the corner of Pikes Peak and Colorado holding up our signs, we got many honks and waves of support from passing motorists. Next weekend there will be a protest in front of the post office in support of postal workers, and I don't care if it's five below zero and there's a damn tornado, I'll be there with bells on.

Good for you standing up for Pat. I read so much horrible news from the US these days, scary and sad.
It's one thing after another....And the postal service and national weather service are my favorites. Fingers crossed we can get through all this to the other side, hoping there is another side.
Good woman to do what you are doing!!
