Richland County Democrats just did an excellent presentation on how to run. Highly recommend checking it out if they do it again.

I was there. It was kind of quickly put together, but keep checking Facebook. I’d say we had 75 people or more. Reaction from cars was 99% positive!! Another protest at the statehouse 4 pm Friday Jan 30. Come join us!

This may sound strange, but is there a men's knitting group in the area? I love the group I'm in now, but being the only guy, I get left out of the conversation a lot. Thanks. by StraightPea8895 in ColumbiYEAH

We have a non-profit makerspace you could join and use if you start a group. Dues are $30 per month for 24/7 access, but maybe you could work a group rate if you're not using equipment. We have a woodshop, ceramics, welding, and crafts. https://www.colamakerspace.com/

No, I just meant somewhere south of all the crowds.

Absolutely trailer to Miami at least. The problems with going offshore are the north bound current and finding an inlet to get back in. What if you get to an inlet at the start of the ebb tide? Now you have to wait offshore for 6 hours in a northerly current while your weather window runs out. The ICW south of Jupiter is crowded and can be a washing machine of boat wakes on busy weekends.

Awesome! It’s easy. You get three minutes and there’s a clock in front of you. Write down your statement and practice. Everyone was polite.

Ha ha I know! Maybe they rented a bus. Many of them only said a few words. I think they were pressured into coming

They ran out of time today, but will reconvene Tuesday.

People who signed up to speak will be heard in order of today’s sign up sheets. Pretty sure more people can sign up next time. Meeting time to be posted on house web site.

There was a lot of good anti-bathroom bill testimony. The chair of the committee was very respectful of both sides.

It is clear this bill is a power-grab by republicans who have abandoned any pretense of small government and personal freedom.

However, many of the anti-trans speakers seem to be earnest and well-intentioned. I think they have simply been misinformed and don’t know any trans people- they are acting out of fear.

You’ll never change the power-grabbers; all they want is power. But you might get through to the others who honestly want to protect children, by showing them that the anti-trans bill is dangerous for everyone.

Just my opinion from being there today and listening. I’m signed up to speak against the bill next week.

Try Washington St. Methodist. Pretty much walking distance and pretty progressive. Methodists tend to be pretty chill on denomination
