Georgia demonstrators gather on Peachtree
On Tuesday February 21, 2017 at 191
Peachtree Tower in Northeast Atlanta, Georgia there was a small group of
demonstrators on the side walk. The afternoon weather in the southern capital
was perfect for demonstrating. These
demonstrators quietly assembled and held signs for the surrounding public to
view. Demonstrators are popping up all around in hopes of venting to lawmakers and the public. Richard Smith, a demonstrator from Portland, Oregon in town with family said,
“We are demanding they hold town hall meetings to give representation to our
voice!”
Is the GOP chicken? -It seems the crowd was in agreement that a traditional town hall
meeting is needed for this group and their members. Other signs boldly declared that the GOP was chicken! While other signs simply stated that TALK was needed. With no town hall meetings scheduled in Georgia demonstrators are taking all types of public opportunities to display their concerns.
Business as usual -Despite the hazily
assembled crowd other folk downtown walked by with a business as usual attitude
and didn’t seem to pay the group much attention. Lately, it is becoming
commonplace to see groups holding signs and protesting all throughout the city.
