Good Morning South Arkansas!

It was POURING down rain this morning when I woke up super early to talk to Rodney Wimberly Sr on his radio show - Good Morning South Arkansas.

I know you are thinking, "Why would someone in Arkansas care about what is happening in your little rural school district in Oregon?"


Well - this man has 4 grandkids in this small rural school district

 and he stands by me.
Picture
Military recruiters have been welcomed here 19 times this year and even if they did not show up 19 times - they had an open invite to be here 19 times. 
 
I have a problem with that.
You should too.
Jude came and walked with me a bit this morning - so there were three of us.
The start of a movement.
The Alice's Restaurant Anti-Masacree Movement.
Yes, indeed.

Our view this morning down 
the sidewalk.
Notice:
The rain stopped! 
  It was NOT raining for the 1/2 hour protest by proxy this morning.

You too, can be in a different state and protest here.

You can be sleeping and protest here.

Just look on the top left of this page and learn how you may join me by proxy-protest.

If you want to show up in person - I am good with that too!

Sure did enjoy visiting with you this morning Barb. Thank you so much for getting up early to visit with me.

As much as I agree with your cause I appreciate even more the civics lesson you are teaching the children who attend that school.

Trust me, those children are learning more about how our freedoms are supposed to work by watching your example for one morning than a whole year of classroom instruction could ever teach them.

When I get the podcast of this morning's show uploaded to the website I will let you know. Your courage of standing up for the convictions of your conscience will also be the subject of my column next week in the South Arkansas Leader.

I am proud to stand with you every morning.

Hi Rodney -

I had 3 teenagers walk by me today and one commented loudly, " I talked to MY recruiter ALL day yesterday." Made me smile. He understood my protest. ( heh.)

I have learned so much about myself and other people in the past year and a half. It has been a quite a journey.


Thanks for having me on your show!
