This evening (Sat 7/13), a flotilla of about 12 rafts and boats took to the lake showing whom they support in the upcoming election. The rafts and boats slowly made the their way around the lake, flying banners and flags, and getting some waves from people on shore. Events like this have happened on other lakes, but this may be a first at Clark Lake.
The event was organized by Shelly Wilbur with the help of fellow Jackson County Republicans.
In case you’re wondering – if this had been a display on the lake for the other candidate, would you be reading about it here? The answer is “yes.”
I believe they should leave their politics off Clark Lake
Until you own a private lake Beverly and Kris you cannot tell people what they can and cannot say. Oh this country is free which means freedom of speech because our forefathers fought and died for our freedom. You need to respect that before your freedoms are taken from you; if we go in the direction that you seem to like. You can say that you disagree with us and you love Biden but do not tell us to be quiet. Your wish may come upon yourself.
Thanks for making the point of why the impromptu rally is inappropriate
You are entitled to freedom of speech and you are entitled to your political perspective
But In a close knit community like Clark lake, it is completely unnecessary to draw attention to our differences
An attempt was just made on trumps life. The political climate today is as divisive as anytime in recent history
Knowing your political persuasion doesn’t bring the community closer together. It only drives it further apart
The suggestion is merely that we keep out politics, religion and other personal perspectives to ourselves as sharing them does more harm than good
And I’m a registered Republican
yes! It is the thing that keeps me from coming back to my home more often, do not recognize the community where I grew up, very sad!
Totally agree.
Thank you Rick! We had a great time on the lake. There was overwhelming support.
I agree with Beverly. Totally inappropriate.
Politics in this climate is extremely divisive. I don’t see anything positive from this type of activity. I keep my politics to myself and ask that others do the same.
“I keep my politics to myself”, while posting about political beliefs. Tell me you are a lib without telling me you are a lib.
I didn’t start this post, organize or participate in the event.
I also said nothing about my political beliefs
I’ve been a registered republican since I was 18
But as it has been noted, in the spirit of free speech, my opinion is that the activity was unnecessary as it pushes people apart as opposed to pulling them together
Wonderful time! Thanks to all. Everyone has their rights.. freedom of speech.. remember that.
It was a blast! So much patriotism out there on Clarklake. Hope it happens more before this critical election. Much more now since the enemy of freedom has tried the ultimate course to stop a qualified and proven leader. What the enemy of freedom tried God can use for good. Thanks be to God!
It is hard to believe that there are Lakers who support pedophelia, rape, fraud and 34 felony convictions.
Agreed. Thank you.
Trump has NEVER been accused of pedophilia; most notably his own daughter did not accuse him of “probably inappropriate” co -bathing as Biden’s daughter did in her diary.
Furthermore, as of November 2022, when Trump announced his third run for the office of President, he had NEVER been accused of a single crime in his 7 decades of life.
Suddenly he faced 88 criminal charges. Perhaps the most egregious was the sham rape charge. A “special AKA just for Trump” law was passed in May 2021 to allow this case to move forward. Carrol claims the incident happened in late 1995 or early 1996 (‘ya know somewhere around there, like sorta kinda 25+ (TWENTY FIVE!!!) years ago)
AND per USA Today 1/29/24, “the jurors were instructed they did not need to find him guilty of rape to award damages for sexual assault. Per Fox 5 New York 5/9/23 “Jury rejects rape claim …”READ THAT AGAIN PLEASE.
With all due respect IMO you are as brainwashed as the Nazi sympathizers in 1940 Germany .
And if we as a country heed your advice at the voting booth, we will end up in the same abject horror.
Time for another treatment. Not all the noxious weeds are gone yet.
Thankful for our freedom, those who support it and the President who cherishes it. Thank God he was saved from evil yesterday.
We had a great time with like minded Christian people on a lake we have been coming to and have been part of for over 55 years.
The display for freedom and solidarity was beautiful and we received a huge support from other lake going and residential folks.
It is our 1 Amendment right freedom of speech to exercise on public property just like it was the low number of the opposition right to to exercise. To boo and yell at us to go away you don’t belong here and then flip us the double bird. To say it’s too bad WE missed his brain. I was not shocked by their low standards.
