Today about 15 people demonstrated in front of Congressman Lou Barletta’s office on Broadway in Hazleton. We carried signs demanding that Trump release his tax returns as every other president has done for the past 40 years.
We also demanded that Barletta meet with his constituents. To drive the point home, one demonstrator wore a chicken costume. Barletta is the congressman who was opposed to Ryan’s tax repeal because he was afraid some undocumented residents might get some health care.
The demonstration was part of a nation-wide protest. Keystone Progress and other liberal social media networks advertised the actions. We had people from various parts of the district, though most of us came from Carbon County, which seems to be a hot bed of anti-Trump activity.
Linda and I were both interviewed on WBRE TV, which means the event actually happened. (There’s an old maxim–if it wasn’t on TV, it didn’t happen.)
