In reply to the discussion: If you are disabled or an older person, don't fret about going [View all]My wife and I are going. I have had both knees replaced and two back surgeries. I also have neuropathy in my feet from my knee surgeries. If they want to arrest a 71 year old guy and his wife. So be it. She and I will just be there. No signs, just showing up to be part of it. When I was much younger, in 1972 I went to the repub convention in Miami Beach. Marched and marched. Stayed at Flamingo Park with the Yippies, the Zippies and the hippies. Little Jewish ladies brought us food and water. They were great and loved what we were doing. I have to return to my roots.

        I'll be following events from home, too, as my mobility issues haven't improved.
