Vote on October 18

Dear Editor,

Dismayed  by the actions of President Trump and his administration? Don't wait until the 2026 mid term election to register your discontent.  Your vote is your voice, but the opposite is also true - your voice is your vote. And you can cast that vote by coming to the  peaceful "Let Your Rural Voices Be Heard" NO KINGS rally in Dodgeville, October 18, from 10:00 AM to Noon.  We will gather behind the Iowa County Courthouse and march together down Iowa St. to the 105 W. Fountain St. greenspace  for music and informative speeches. Over 2,000 NO KINGS rallies will take place across the country on the same day.

President Trump justifies his  actions to silence his critics by claiming to have popular support.  A massive show of opposition everywhere in the country will let him know he is mistaken and we will not be intimidated. Your presence at the rally also conveys your support for those who are speaking out despite great personal risk and for those being harmed by our government. The larger the turnout at the rallies the louder our message is amplified.

Participation in a NO KINGS rally is uplifting and energizing. Acting along side others in your community to protect our democracy is the antidote to feelings of loneliness, despair, and helplessness. Come to the rally. Play a part in making this rally a success by encouraging others to join you.
