It was wet but there was a lot of people there

My first rally in decades.

HANDS OFF!

We're a small city place that's sort of red. Yet, in the rain there were at least 100-150 people. Not bad for a rainy Saturday. Mixed crowd - skewed towards older folks. All they had was a bullhorn when they really needed a PA system.

I actually have bits and bobs that could be cobbled together to form a PA system - I just don't know if any of it still works. No speakers though. I could get some cheap but they're a pain to move around.

Update - it seems they had a PA but it was really weak. News reports reported the crowd at around 500. A village half an hour away had 150!

I was told there would be signs provided at the rally = there weren't. I'd best get busy making signs for the next one.
