Over a thousand “Hands Off” related rallies were held throughout the country on April 5. Millions showed up.

Around 150 people showed up to the “Stand up for Democracy” rally in Crawfordsville, Indiana on Saturday.

This is what some of the demonstrators said when asked why they were there:

Kara Riley: “I am here today because I have two daughters and I want them to be raised in a world that has the same but more rights than I had growing up. And all people in the world, I think everyone deserves equal rights.”

Sara Brock: “If we don’t use our rights then we lose them.It’s important and I’m very encouraged. And I have loved ones who are in the LGBTQIA community.”

Kathy Walker: “I’m appalled at what’s happening in our country. I’m appalled at how certain populations are being targeted and treated cruelly and unfairly, and we all have rights as humans. This is supposed to be the land of the free and the brave, freedom and our democracy is under threat. I have a transgender daughter, and she lives in fear, and that’s not right. I mean, again, land of the free, to be whoever you are and to excel.”

Michael Abbott: “I’m very concerned about what’s happening to our country right now. I’m very concerned. And I see most of our democratic principles are at risk right now.And there’s very little resistance coming from Congress, so I think we have to be out here on the streets.”

Max Brummett: “I’m a senior at Crawfordsville High School. This kind of activism is really important to me, I think when we have an opportunity in a community like this that is so conservative to put feet on the ground, to get our hands wet, feet wet, and stand up for what we believe in, I think we have to give it a shot. I think the way that this current administration has handled everything, from immigration to the economics, has been anti-American and I am standing up for the country I believe in.

”Kerri Warner: “I’m really worried about what’s happening in our country right now. There are so many things that I’m worried about that I can’t even pick one. I couldn’t figure out how to make a sign that said it all. So I’m definitely worried that our public lands are getting taken away. And I’m worried about my social security because I just retired.”

Call your reps today!

The house is voting on the No Rogue Rulers Act on Tuesday, which would essentially strip away our checks and balances and leave the district courts powerless to stop our administration's illegal activity.

We cannot let this happen in america.

5 calls.

I was just curious if anyone else is having issues with their taxes saying they owe when they never have before. Me and 2 other people I work with all used different tax programs and were set to get a return and now some how owe over $2k. We have all gotten the same letter from the irs saying they made adjustments. Our HR dept says nothing wrong on their end. I contacted the state thru INTIME but it takes up to 12 weeks

So this has been happening since I turned 21, I’m 22 now. My id gets declined when scanned at Marathon gas stations. I got worried bc I’m flying on Tuesday and went to the bmv to check that everything was good… and it is. Has anyone else experienced this? It’s a real id with a star, it’s just been annoying. Especially since I’m flying out tomorrow I feel like it’s giving me anxiety. Probably nothing hopefully. Btw it’s not damaged this is my second id I’ve had since this happened.

Of course now they care about doing their job 🙄 Still didn’t even get the date right. LPD is a joke.

Tell me why I was driving on i-65 yesterday and everyone refused to let me pass on the left. Even when flashing no one would move.

Hi!! I’m looking for summer camps in Indiana that rent out for the whole weekend for weddings and need recommendations! I’ve found two I like already, but would love more options. My current favorites are Camp Bedford and Columbus Youth Camp. I’d prefer waterfront and to stay under 5k. Thanks a bunch!!

Over 300 people at the courthouse while it was raining yesterday.

I'd like some help. I'm looking at buying a sportscar from out of state which I have done before, but all cars I have bought have been through dealerships and this is likely going to be a private sale.

Because there wont be a dealer taking state IN tax etc at the point of sale, I'm trying to calculate what I expect to pay for fees when I register the car and the BMV calculator is not working. I have estimated it at $2870 tax along with $167.35 in fees based off the list on their site. The car would be financed so I don't know if I pay the title fee when I register it or when the loan is paid off and the title is transferred to me?

I have a hefty deposit and am trying to keep my monthly payment below a certain number, but I'm trying to work out what I need to save in cash to pay for taxes and fees that would normally be integrated into a monthly payment if I bought through a dealer.

Thanks.
