"Rescue the Republic" is a follow-on to the defeat the mandates rallies. Years ago, I made a graphic to illustrate this issue. Since I can't post graphics directly to this comment thread, Here's a link to a photo of a stop sign with a mandates sticker stuck on it: https://nedb.substack.com/p/stop-mandates-stop-sign

Nothing new under the sun: 1966 Buffalo Springfield

There's somethin' happenin' here

But what it is ain't exactly clear

There's a man with a gun over there

A-tellin' me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop

Children, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn

And nobody's right if everybody's wrong

Young people speakin' their minds

A-gettin' so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop

Hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

What a field day for the heat (ooh-ooh-ooh)

A thousand people in the street (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (ooh-ooh-ooh)

It's time we stop

Hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep

Into your life, it will creep

It starts when you're always afraid

You step out of line

The man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

We better stop, hey, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

We better stop, now, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

We better stop, children, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down Writer/s: Stephen Stills

I remember listening to that song, seems like a new anthem for the young is in order. Thanks for the memory Shelley!

Only the "hippies" have changed and become "yuppies". Everything else is the same.

Even worse, Dianne, the 60s hippies are now embedded and control the levers of power in academia, Big government and the FAKE NEWS media.

Some of them, I'm sure! They give new meaning to the word "yuppies". They say "Yup! Yes sir, right away sir. My lips are sealed sir."
