Thank you Stephanie Wade for your courage to march, to be outspoken, and most of all, for being true to yourself.

I was also at the rally. The MAGA kid passed by, saying something like, "What is it you most like about Trump? I was ignoring him. I now wish I had said, "He reminds me so much of Hitler." I thought the average age was lower than 70, but I brought up the average. My 12th protest to date. I wish I was seeing more younger protesters, in their 20s, though there are some. As yet, overall, they don't get it.

The interview with Ms. Wade is wonderful! As a Democrat, I wish we had more people like her speaking out passionately and articulately.

Stephanie Wade is 🔥! I want everything she wants from the Dems. As Reed Galen said at a DWOSOC meeting last Nov, Dems have to quit singing Kumbaya, we can’t play nice anymore. The rules in the game of politics has changed - Republicans are playing by their own set of rules and we must follow those rules now, old school politicians be damned!

I appreciated the opportunity to talk with you Saturday at the anti Trump rally in front of the Nixon library. Stephanie Wade is a great leader, respected by all and near and dear to us in Chino Hills. I read your other article about Democrat Christina Gagnier and want to also plug her running against Young Kim. Gagnier grew up in Chino/Chino Hills and has been active in the Chino Valley business community, is an accomplished lawyer, fighter for students when she served as President of the Chino Valley Unified School Board against MAGA extremists, founder of Our School, USA, and teaches at UCI. We need real leadership in Washington. A simple reminder that Esther Varet does not live in CA40 either. She lives in Los Angeles.

Thanks for this report, going to the Irvine demo today. I share Keiths perspective on the age of protesters. Some other vets and I are trying to get a Wednesday night rally in Orange. I'm pushing for the Circle as Code Pink did well there years ago. Back to Yorba Linda- I heard the teenager was bumping into ppl on his bike- did anyone see that?
