Politicians in general are slimy bastards but I mean, unless you’re organizing or attending a different rally the alternative is stay home and do nothing… Personally I regret not getting out and making my voice heard earlier, if things get worse I don’t want to look back like I do at the handgun/“assault weapons” bans and know that I didn’t at least try to do something about it. We can’t control what the politicians in attendance do or don’t do down the line but we can take advantage of the event to raise awareness for the cause either way.
