When is it a bad time to speak up for children? What is the alternative? Remain silent? Yes, there probably will be some pedophiles saying disgusting things to undermine the evidence at these events... but that's not us. I think a positive message supported by some very real facts could open some eyes. We are democrat, rebuplican, Catholic, Jewish, Protestant, gay, straight... but none of that matters when it comes to abusing children. We at not ok with it and it is NOT a partisan issue. The protestors can hopefully convey that through message and signage. I won't be able to be there but will make/send signs or do what I can to help. I can't think of anytime better than now and I want us to stand up for these children. I have been scared to speak out about this for a million reasons but none of them are more important than protecting our children. They are all excuses and I don't want to be a fake anymore.

I wonder too, i supported the Standing Rock protests and they had a great approach of promoting spirituality and non violent resistance. This made it easier for people to digest and get behind in supporting it, but it was also genuine and sincere. Near the end they were being hijacked by liberal protesters leaving trash and refusing to leave when asked to by the tribe. But when it came down to supporting Trump, considering standing rock and pedogate...i chose the kids and God. When i spent a week pondering which way to go on this, with Trump supporting the pipelines and still choosing to support Trump - a bob marley song came on and i heard the line "don't worry about atomic energy, they cannot stop the time" lol weird how these answers come to you at the oddest times. So i chose to abandon my cultural norms and maintain loyalty to pizzagate/pedogate. Plus i strategically understand that if Trump is really going after the pedos then he can't piss off the business and energy guys, he would not have gotten this far if he did, i understand that he has to play a complex game and i am willing to give him a chance.

So in terms of protests and effectiveness, i'm starting to wonder myself. I saw the spiritual approach win in terms of drawing global support and discussion but it didn't win at the end of the day - the pipeline is going forward.

Well said, we need to remember basic action / reaction effect
