There are 245 million eligible voters, 155 active voters in the U.S. A 3.5% threshold will need between 5.4 and 8.6 million protestors. Organizers estimate more than 1,200 rallies occurred yesterday across the U.S. Estimates for total participates range from “over 600,000 to “well over a million.”

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

Show up, stay nonviolent, befriend the police.

It looks as if the US government just filed for bankruptcy. It is a path Donald Trump knows well.

Record warming sustains drought but provides good winter camping and hiking. It was a good break from the news of our new criminal Trump Administration.

Scenes from Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument

Rick and I hiked up Tiny Canyon today. This is 3 miles north of home. There are no human trails so we relied upon the experience written in the game trails to navigate the terrain.

I find it useful to read the strategic summaries by leaders of the incoming administration. The below article and speech by Kevin D. Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation, clearly lays out the vision.
