I love your columns, Thomas, and read every one, But you tend to see everything only through the lens of party politics. You said nothing about the citizen driven Hands Off rallies that will be occurring nationwide this weekend on Saturday April 5th. Readers of PoliticsNC should be able to find a Hands Off protest near where you live in North Carolina. Google: Hands Off mobilize + a city near you. I found Hands Off rallies in both Wilmington and Greenville, as but two examples. The Hands Off rallies will be non violent and we are told NOT to engage with any counter protesters.
The link above should take you to the nearest rallies, but if you are looking for something different (e.g., sending your friends info on the rallies closest to THEM), you can click on the filters icon and then scroll down to the field labeled "Near" and enter a Zipcode or a city+state combination.
Thanks Cheryl for this additional information. Hope you get a good turnout in Charlotte. I was going to attend Hands Off in Durham where I live but a friend persuaded me to take the charter bus with him to DC. Exciting!
