Saturday

Ron Wyden, our senator, gave a speech. We were one of 11 rallies he was going to attend today. The signs were great. The people were great, and the weather was perfect. There were all ages. I am guessing about 2,000 people were there. We are right outside of Portland, so a lot of people go there for the big protest, which is held along the waterfront.
