If you did not participate in Saturday\u2019s Hands Off!\u00a0rally around the nation, you missed something special.\u00a0 If you did participate, you know it was special.\u00a0 It was a nationwide Happening.<\/p>\n

No one knows exactly how many people showed up at the more than 1,200 towns, cities and capitols where rallies were held. \u00a0CNN guessed \u201cmillions\u201d, and the final official estimate was 5.3 million.<\/p>\n

But who knows?\u00a0 And who cares? \u00a0\u00a0Whatever the actual total was, if you saw photos of rallies around the nation, especially the aeriel shots, you know the turnout was huge.<\/p>\n

And you also know the rallies were amazingly peaceful.\u00a0 It says a lot that 5 million highly motivated people can gather around the nation and there not be one arrest anywhere.\u00a0 Like the Women\u2019s March on Washington, D.C., before it, Not One!<\/p>\n

Also like the March on Washington, Saturday\u2019s gatherings were more than just peaceful. They were joyful.\u00a0 There is no question that the one I attended was typical, and it was joyful.<\/p>\n

I traveled with my wife and two grown daughters to our Capitol in Columbia, and it was a gathering of serious, angry, driven, happy people, people know we\u2019re in a war, know we are winning, \u00a0and know we can win.<\/p>\n

We packed the Capitol\u2019s steps, making it treacherous for anyone to traverse up and down them.\u00a0 We swarmed the grounds and loudly cheered on a succession of speakers who pushed us on.\u00a0 We formed a long line of enthusiastic people\u00a0 along the busy thoroughfare that runs by the Capitol and waved our posters to a never-ending stream of horn-honking, fist-raising supporters as they passed by.<\/p>\n

Posters were everywhere.\u00a0 Among my favorites:<\/p>\n

The Only Person Trump Ever Hired<\/strong>
\nWho Was Actually Qualified<\/strong>
\nTo Do Their Job Was<\/strong>
\nStormy Daniels<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Boston Tea Party<\/strong>
\nWas A Protest<\/strong>
\nAgainst a Tariff<\/strong><\/p>\n

Penguins Could Govern Better<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elect a Clown,<\/strong>
\nGet a Circus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump Robs from the Poor<\/strong>
\nTo Give to the Rich<\/strong><\/p>\n

OMG<\/strong>
\nGOP<\/strong>
\nWTF<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Constitution Was Written<\/strong>
\nTo Protect Us From<\/strong>
\nExactly This Nightmare<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Cory Said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Honk If You Never<\/strong>
\nTexted War Plans<\/strong><\/p>\n

So Fucked Up That<\/strong>
\nEven Introverts Are Here<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bottom line: Our mission is right and we are alive, alert, growing, full of energy, and the momentum is on our side.\u00a0 There will be other opportunities to gather this summer, and I cannot imagine that anyone who attended one of Saturday\u2019s events will not want to be there \u2013 plus many more who will come to understand how important being in this battle together in big numbers is and join us.<\/p>\n

These events encourage judges, frighten MAGA senators and House members who are up for re-election, alert Democrats in Washington that we are watching them and expect them to quit whimpering and do their job.<\/p>\n

Moreover, it shows that we are winning this battle, and if we keep doing what we\u2019re doing now \u2013 just showing up and speaking out \u2013 we will win.<\/p>\n
