Yesterday morning, I went to one of the Anti-Stimulus-Bill protests that have apparently been popping up around the country. This one was in Overland Park, Kansas, which is very close to where I live. The protest was held outside of the office of Representative Dennis Moore, who voted for the so-called “stimulus” bill. I almost didn’t go to the protest out of concern that it would be more of an anti-Democrat, pro-Republican protest, but it wasn’t that way. There were some people who were obvious Republicans, but most of those that I saw and talked to where people who were against the massive spending that the government is pushing. Though the temperature was 10 degrees with the wind chill, I think probably 300-400 people showed up, and there was a LOT of great response from drivers who saw us.

I made a sign, too. It was a small chance to spread some good ideas, even to people who might already agree. So, on one side of my sign I wrote “Ayn Rand Was Right,” and on the other side, “Read Atlas Shrugged.” I received many positive comments and a few questions from those who want to know what it was about, so I consider the morning a success.

I can’t retire the sign just yet. There’s going to be another protest this Sunday, this time near downtown Kansas City. It should be even bigger! Pictures below:

I have a feeling that my check might get lost in the mail.
