For Example At Bush's Inauguration There Was A DU Tent Members From Across The Country Who Were Coming To Protest Were Told Where & What Time To Meet Up, Same.

Lets Make 2017 A Year That DU Grows Legs & Leads A Movement To Oppose The Trump Administration & Republicans At Every Turn, Every Time, Just Like They Did To Our President & Our Party...
