California’s Crusader

On Presidents Day Weekend, National Protests against Obama were staged at State Capitols, in all 50 states.

For those of us in Southern California who could not travel to Sacramento, freeway overpass rallies were held in Orange County, Brea, and in San Diego County.

Protesting is great, and it's wonderful to live in a country that allows it. I DO wonder how many of these folks actually voted?

Wow, look at the size of those crowds. Literally in the double digits.

First I've heard of it. The day AFTER it supposedly happened. And I didn't see any protestors, anywhere, as I went about my fairly-extensive business here in San Diego that day.

Great job, organizers.

The media never provides earned media for conservative protests.

The local media did cover this event.

Gauging from the pictures, I would say that they were on Imperial Highway over the 57 freeway.
