A "die in" today in Melbourne, Florida. Protesting the House of Representatives attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act. This protest was held at the office of Congressman Bill Posey who has refused to have a face to face town hall meeting with his constituents. Where are you Bill Posey? Part of representation is listening to constituents. Mr. Posey seems to not get that.

If we just focus we would see there is a right time for everything like it says in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8...found in The Bible.
"A time to be born,
A time to die,
A time to plant,
A time to harvest,
A time to kill,
A time to heal,
A time to destroy,
A time to rebuild,
A time to cry,
A time to laugh,
A time to grieve,
A time to dance,
A time for scattering stones,
A time for gathering stones,
A time to hug,
A time not to hug,
A time to find,
A time to lose,
A time for keeping,
A time for throwing away,
A time to tear,
A time to repair,
A time to be quiet,
A time to speak up,
A time for loving,
A time for hating,
A time for war,
A time for peace."

A couple of hundred senior citizens showed up in Vero Beach, Florida on August 16, 2025 to participate in the "Fight the Trump Takeover" event, a nationwide mobilization effort that comes on the heels of a showdown in Texas over electoral maps. They gathered in temperatures that exceeded 90°F (32° C) to speak up and be heard. If they can brave the hot Florida sun in August then you can speak up too. If you're not speaking up in your community then you are allowing this to happen. This event was also attended by members of the Vets Against Trump organization.1232
Well over 500 people gathered in Vero Beach, Florida in deep red Indian River County to speak up on Labor Day. Hundreds of "Workers Over Billionaires" protests were held nationwide on Labor Day 2025, with organizers highlighting extreme wealth inequality and advocating for improved conditions for working-class families. Led by organizations like May Day Strong and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the demonstrations target corporate power and the influence of the ultra-wealthy in politics.

I have thought about pointing out the war with a knife, for all the innocent victims heathenly killed, for the blood that flows inexorable.
While the olivo as symbol of peace. For a peace that has immediately to arrive.

A rally I participated in today supporting the ACA (Obamacare). I was so embarrassed as I watched news reports of Trump meeting with the German Chancellor. That's not to mention the nonsense he has spouted about the British and wiretapping. I hope our European friends won't give up on us as we correct this error.

Each member can add one picture only. The group is more about the discussions that will hopefully raise awareness of what is happening in Lebanon.

I should add that this photo was taken at my request by a fellow photographer who was in attendance. My thanks to that photographer who's name I did not catch.
