Niles Rallies

Today is Monday, and I’m looking forward to another rally in Niles 11:30-12:30. Standing

on the sidewalk by the street, it is so much fun to cheer and wave at those going by. We

have signs saying, “I voted for budget cuts.” “Stop Waste, Fraud and Abuse.” “Honk If

You Love Maga.” And the honking, thumbs up and cheering for President Trump and his

Team in response are as encouraging to us as we are uplifting to the passers-by. They

are so glad to see happy, friendly people putting themselves out there for Trump and

our elected officials doing the jobs we elected them to do.

One of these, our US Congressman Tim Walberg NO LESS!! stopped by at our most recent

rally to cheer us on and to thank us for coming outside and speaking to the Press about

all the good that is being accomplished in Washington. He added, “Keep smiling,

because WE HAVE THE TRUTH!”

The rallies in Niles, begun by my friend and coworker, Carla Johnson of Buchanan,

were and still are a counter to the negative protests against Tim Walberg at his Niles

office. The Dems tried to not be identified as Democrats and kept changing their names,

complaining first off about perceived cuts in Medicare and Social Security. Then they

turned into the NO KINGS rallies. Funded by ActBlue and staffed by retired teachers

and the Out Center of gays in Benton Harbor, they were out there with lying and hateful

signs, trying to pile hate and dissention onto Tim Walberg. They also threatened Tim,

his assistant Lee Belding and other officials with death. Since this had followed

assassination attempts on Trump and then the real thing on Charlie Kirk, Republican

officials across the nation were told to not have their usual office hours, and were

staying out of the public limelight. Carla and I are having none of that. Our God does not

bow to fear! So with the desire to take the pressure off President Trump, Tim Walberg,

Brad Paquette, Jonathan Lindsey and others, we go out and wave to the traffic,

regardless. Results are overwhelmingly positive in favor, with lots of honks, waves,

cheering and smiles from those in the cars. Carla and I go on local television stations

saying we are not a protest, but a positive support for Walberg, and the others.

As to the NO KINGS, I went on to say it was ludicrous for the Dems to accuse Trump of

being a King, as he was doing just the opposite --- taking power from a bloated and

corrupt government and giving it back to the people!

We are out there at the old Rite-Aid every first and third Monday. Come and join us over

your lunch period!
