Editor:
I attended the April 5 rally at the courthouse. I saw you there doing your journalistic duty — while I was there doing my civic duty (NCJ Daily, April 10). Although I was glad to do my part protesting the fascist, misogynist, racist, mean, greedy, grifting, narcissistic, adolescent people running this country, I was a bit disappointed.
I was expecting to get paid for my participation. I asked a lot of people where I was supposed to go to get my check from George Soros. Nobody could tell me. Is the money just for people at protests in the larger, more visible cities? Was there a sign-up table that I somehow just missed? How does Mr. Soros do it anyway? Cash? Credit card? Is there someplace online where we have to sign up ahead of time? Could the Journal please look into this — since the people of Humboldt County have a pretty high per capita protest rate — and we sure could use the money.
