Todays ENOUGH Protest week seven

In front of the Orlando city hall today we had seven people with signs, not as many as last week but not too bad. Two teenage guys stopped to ask about ENOUGH so I gave them a flyer, and they talked with us for a short while before leaving. Mostly favorable responses. I guess thumbs down means DOWN WITH BUSH, that would make it much more on the favorable side.
An elderly Hispanic couple stopped to talk at me, I walked back to their car, and got preached at. "God said there will be war, so we must have war. There will be earthquakes and volcanos, you should pray instead of protest, the End Times are coming". It was all I could do to stop myself from saying the rapture has already happened you missed it, so I just walked away from them.

Only a few people flipped us off today, none of them had children with them, mostly looking like they just got out of church. All in all it was another good day to be out. Gray clouds shaded us from the sun, there was a decent breeze temperature in the low 90s.
We`ll be back next week in Orlando hope to see you there.

•  Where do young folks go to or hang?

  City hall on Sunday in most cities is dead.

•  Monsoon season in Cleveland

  It's been raining all day. But four of us (with sons in the military) were out there with our signs and umbrellas. The weather cut down on the traffic today --it was mostly people supporting the breast cancer walkers--and most of them were very friendly to us. Hoping the weather is more favorable next Sunday.

•  We had a good turnout this week in MI

  My guess is 95% of the people that comment are positive and supportive.

•  In Westwood

  We had slightly fewer people than the week before but I expected that as it's the latter half of August and felt like the hottest day of the year.  One guy brought a huge orange "Honk to Impeach" banner which got a lot of response.

  I'll be in Little Rock next Sunday and I'm looking forward to joining their protest.

•  Back down to two of us this week in San Francisco

  The weather is gorgeous today. I'd hoped to have pictures to share, but in a moment of inattention, someone decided he needed my camera more than I did.

  At the new Federal Building, vehicle traffic was good this week, while pedestrian traffic was low - fairly normal.

  I spent an additional hour at the cable car turnaround at Market & Powell, while Chris had to head out at 1:00. More pedestrian traffic - most glancing at my sign and moving on. A few thumbs up.

  I did have voter registration forms this time around, but I didn't get a chance to recruit people to cover that while also focusing on Enough. Next week I hope to have a group joining us working just on voter registration. Last week, someone did ask about it, so I want to try it out and see if it increases how active the response is, and whether it motivates people to actually get involved.
