    • “ I enjoyed the trip and the protest. I wish there had been more people. ”

      “ This was a good experience. The Albany group was glad to have our support, and we were able to make our presence felt. The president did notice us both arriving and leaving, although he did turn his back on us when he noticed us at his departure. Good conversations were had between us and other attendees; one, who challenged me at first, came back and said that she found out she was wrong (thank you, whoever talked to her!) and would even like to hold a sign with us! Conversations in the car were valuable too. It also increased my determination for us to encourage participation in the "Can You Hear Me Now?" event coming up,but more about that in another post. ”
    • Advisory Council Member
      “ I had a great time. For a bunch of different groups working together we organized really well and for the very short time Obama's motorcade was going by he knew we were there. I met a lot of great people and couldn't be happier with the results. ”
