"I want to know what you think about the state of our country.  Or, is there a particular issue being voted on that you feel strongly about?  What are your thoughts?  Keep in mind, I don't want to know whether you are a Democrat or a Republican.  I am just curious as to what is going through your mind."

Placards from their rally included...

I Want YOU – to switch to decaf

 

You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own spelling

 Even God gave it a rest for one day – tone it down America

I think I'll stick to 'Alice in Wonderland'!
