Along with a reservation at the Hyatt Place behind the White House. Just in case we decide to take it to DC that weekend.

somewhere reasonably close by (VA?) and we should do all possible to get as many retired, inactive or active (out of uniform) to attend along with as many thousands of the general public as possible. Get some prominent bands or other performers to come and the media. Embarrass the hell out of TSF with his DC street-destroying heavy machinery made to look as ridiculous as it is.

Easy for me to say, I know. I'm in Colorado and there is no way I can go anywhere in the next weeks, but I can dream, right?

After he won I made restaurant reservations for his DC hotel/restaurant and there were tons of empty tables. I checked it out again a month later and you could still get reservation....no one wanted to be there. A week before his inauguration I canceled my reservations so I wouldn't be charged.

This year on his parade date there will be over 1,000 NO KINGS protests across the US. They stop counting the number when it hits 1,000. Since there are 3 weeks left until that date I expect the number to be closer to 2,000 protests.
