NORTH COUNTY RESISTANCE: 50 STRONG YESTERDAY MAY 23, 2026; EVERY SATURDAY, DOWNTOWN NEHALEM NOON TO 2 PM

Posted on by Editor
Dear Friends,
As many of you know this past week the IRS agreed to drop all pending probes of Trump over whether he’s paid his fair share of taxes. I am getting this information from OPB.  There seems to be one way for the IRS to tax all Americans and another way for the IRS to tax Trump. We do hope challenges to this finding by the DOJ are successful.
Just as successful as we found the North County Resistance found itself with over 50 Protesters in Nehalem this past Saturday. And, we’ve never had so many people waving, clapping their hands, and giving us the thumbs up when they drive by.  Yes, we had new signs and will have more this next week, I’m sure.

Below are sign ideas people have sent:
  • IKEA has better Cabinets
  • “America, Leave Your Abusive Ex.”
  • “Love Has No Borders.”
  • “Fight Ignorance, Not Immigrants.”
  • “DEMOCRACY NEEDS ALL OF US”
  • “KINDNESS IS PATRIOTIC”
  • “WE THE PEOPLE MEANS EVERYONE”
  • “HOPE IS LOUDER THAN HATE”
  • “PROTECT TRUTH • PROTECT DEMOCRACY

And a few more short-format ideas that fit well on 24″ x 12″ signs:

  • “LISTEN TO EACH OTHER”
  • “COUNTRY OVER CHAOS”
  • “UNITY OVER DIVISION”
  • “FACTS MATTER”
  • “LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR”
  • “COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS”
  • “PEACEFUL PEOPLE • POWERFUL VOICES”
  • “STAND UP WITH KINDNESS”
  • “DEFEND FREEDOM”
  • “MAKE AMERICA KIND AGAIN”

 

Yes, we are encouraged by all your thoughts. Thank you to people who came from outside our area to join us. People who keep their protest signs in their cars and stop at protests in different towns as they come across them. Thanks to the Frog and their family for joining us!  Always a treat. Thanks for the lemon bars and coffee. Thanks to all 50 plus who joined us in the protest. Thanks for the people driving and walking by telling us to keep up this protest work. Thanks to the people who remind us we live in this great community where we strive to take care of our neighbors.  As protesters, we are not giving up. Trump is ruining our country, chipping away, bit by bit. We need to take down those people who are allowing this to happen. Let’s take a look at the people Trump has surrounded himself with in order to get away with him being the judge and jury. Our lives will probably never be the same but perhaps we can help future generations.

Thanks,
