Atlanta march one of hundreds planned over concerns about Trump
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | January 13, 2017 | Maureen Downey

Online commiseration over the results of the presidential election led a group of Georgians to plan an Atlanta march for social justice. Shown here are organizers, from left, Sawsan Selim, Aisha Yaqoob, Ahoo Sarab, Blynne Olivieri, Gerald Griggs, Gina Gareau-Clark, Cathy Roth, Janel Green and Harmel Deanne Codi.

Confident Hillary Clinton would win the presidency on Nov. 8, Sperry was stunned to wake to the news that Donald Trump defied pundits and polls to become the 45th president of the United States.

“The day after the election, I had all the wind knocked out of me. Now, I’m feeling my little tiny voice does have a place in this,” Sperry said. “I didn’t use it before, but, by God, I’m going to use it now. I am very much hoping I can learn more about what is going on and ways that maybe I can help move us all. I am due to do something. I am past due.”

Scheduled for the day after Trump’s inauguration, the Atlanta event is among more than 280 regional and international events planned in conjunction with the massive Women’s March on Washington, occurring on the same day. In Atlanta, 6,500 have committed to march via the march’s Facebook page, while 12,000 have expressed interest. Among the speakers are former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin; U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson; Luma Mufleh, the CEO and coach at Fugees Family; and Staci Fox, the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Southeast Inc....

The election is over.

They lost.

All their weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth is music to my ears

My guess is that there are many democrats that are embarrassed by all this “snowflake” cry baby stuff being put on by liberals...

I guess Hank Johnson is no longer worried about Guam tipping over.

If the muslims really wanted to make a statement there are a lot of stupid people who are going to be making themselves targets.
