Along with a bunch of people from my church, and my son, if I can convince him to come along. The local teanuts "Patriots for Christ" are planning a counter protest. It sounds like they may want to provoke some violence, but I don't think the local progressives are buying it. If I see some links afterwards, I'll post them here.

(1,760 posts)4. Some 1500-2000 people showed up to protest the ban
The counter protesters numbered about 20. Seriously, just a couple dozen.
But the pro-immigration, pro-refugee side had lots of great signs, enthusiasm, and a powerful voice.
KWWL showed about 30 seconds, between the story about the dog drowning in the Cedar and a Super Bowl story
