Went to a Klamath Falls rally/fundraiser. Fun!
No, I didn't actually go up to Oregon,
but here in the Central Valley area of
California, one of several big caravans
passed through. There are other caravans
covering other states before they reach
Oregon.
There were between 100 and 125 people at
this one. There were some good speakers,
including a local U.S. Congressman in support
of the cause.
I ended up paying $100 for 2 t-shirts that
would have probably been a $3.99 special
at Wal-Mart, and I paid $20 for a $3.00
bucket. A 12 oz can of soda was $1.00, but
I decided it was worth $2.00. I ended up
donating $122 for the cause. I would have
liked to give more, but I still feel pretty
happy and good for giving to a good cause.
There were some shovels auctioned off,
you know, your normal 30 to 50 dollar
shovel. Well, they were used to protest
in other states by digging away at things,
it was sponsored by a group called the
Shovel Brigade. Well, one shovel was
sold at $1,000, another shovel sold for
$850. There were other items that went
for high prices, too. One lady bought a
$10 bottle of wine for $55 dollars and
she donated it right back and it sold again
for $35.
This caravan went all through California,
and it was all about helping those in need.
It was a lot of fun.
The big message one speaker gave was, it
doesn't stop when they reach Klamath, Or.,
the 21st of this month, it is where it
begins.
There is talk of the caravans uniting and
traveling to Washington D.C. to peacefully
protest in front of the White House. I wish
them the best, and if work permits, I might
just go along for the ride.
They also mentioned the four firemen and
other firemen killed, not to mention other
people killed by these insane environmental
wackos out there.
I am real happy to help those farmers up
there, even though it was only $122 from
me, but, every little bit helps. We have
to keep our farmers in business if we want
the safest and best food available.
If you are not for the American farmer,
do us a favor, go on a hunger strike.
