MACHIPONGO, Va. — Local residents and activists will gather next month for the Eastern Shore Rally, an event aimed at encouraging civic engagement and community storytelling. The rally is scheduled for Saturday, April 5, at noon at Baines Farm & Market, located at 7036 Bell Lane in Machipongo, at the corner of Route 13 and Bell Lane.
Organized by the Democrats of Northampton and Accomack Counties, the rally will feature speakers, live music, and an open invitation for attendees to share their personal stories and concerns. Participants are encouraged to bring signs and join the conversation under the event’s theme, “Reclaim Our Democracy.”
The event is supported by several organizations, including Voices of Florida, Political Revolution, Indivisible, Women’s March, and others.
Organizers say the rally is an opportunity for residents of Virginia’s Eastern Shore to voice their opinions on local, state, and national issues while fostering a sense of community and civic responsibility.

Reclaim ??
I believe this past election did just that . If you believe that the previous Democratic administration was utilizing democracy then its time for you to actually look at the facts not the bs pushed upon this country from the media which was directed by very wealthy Democrats.
KNOW THE FACTS !
The media is doing their job. Reporting on everything Trump is doing, all his chaos , eliminating all kinds of bills and services to Americans. Democrats are going to fight back against this injustice! He is using pardons as sugar in his coffee. Pardoning Jan. 6 rioters , criminals! Fighting the law firms and judges that don’t agree with his criminal acts.
Just wondering, will you be providing secured Tesla parking for your event?
If you voted for Kamel-Toe Harris then you are part of ‘The Problem’. I bet you think she is black, as well. The only black in her was Willie Brown. I bet you believe in more than 2 genders. And most of all, I bet you think it is OK to kill babies in the womb. Yes, liberal democrats are a ‘Problem’.
It will be a hoot to see unhinged bitter leftists compromised mostly of transplant senior citizens and local Democrat hand out vacuums holding signs on 13 while the Baine family’s Farm and Market alienates half their potential customer base for years to come.
Geez, you seem to know exactly who will be there. Must be you and your family members. Have fun at the event! Are you going to hold up fun signs?
Reclaim? Who the hell do you all think you are?
I am quite sure that I ‘axed’ you people a question.
Look who organized this mess. Voices of Florida and Woman’s March? Really? You people might as well activate BLM or ANTIFA.
Wow, I feel sorry for the folks who wrote these insulting and bitter comments. Folks, you are part of the problem, too. And whether or not you like this demonstration, remember that you are free to organize one of your own. “A nation divided against itself cannot stand.” What if you actually spoke to some of the folks who participated in the rally and asked them to have a cup of coffee with you to understand their motives?
I would not drink coffee with democrats if I was dying of thirst.
If you love murdering the unborn.
If you hate capitalism.
If you hate morality.
If you hate virtue.
If you hate laws.
If you hate Israel.
If you hate America.
If you hate God and Jesus Christ.
Then vote democrat.
The Dixie-Rats are the ones that divided us. MLK was a Republican. You folks are not real bright, are you? Dim would be a nice term to describe you people.
Your mom organized this mess.
My mom is dead. Thanks!
Donald Trump and Adolph Musk are doing are doing some dividing themselves. If President Trump had a more tact, patience and appointed a few more moderately restrained people instead of village idiots it would be better.
Government NEEDS to be cleaned up and the Wokeness is completely and utterly out of hand. No doubt about that…
Musk, on the other hand, seems actually intoxicated with his power. Waving around that plastic chainsaw like a drunk was a clue. The sooner he exits the scene the better.
Don’t get me started on that former addict with the Worm in his head, Kennedy…
I am fatigued by the In Your Face politics from both sides.
Some folks just enjoy barking at each other….
The sad thing is that the Democrats are just as bad as the GOP and are about as organized as a bunch of monkees trying to gang rape a donut.
Laugh about it,
Shout about it,
When you’ve got to choose,
any way you look at it you loose..

Not sure why anyone is surprised at the actions of this administration. Trump campaigned for 4 years and told the world exactly what he intended to do if re-elected. We The People re-elected him. No surprise.
I agree with you totally! Rallies should have taken place prior to the election. Democracy involves a majority vote. Apparently, the majority spoke on election day. Most of the people who I have witnessed speaking against Trump and company are afraid of losing their subsidized housing, food stamps, and checks. I am poor too. Guess what? I am a senior citizen AND I work for mine. These young, able bodied folks need to do the same!
It always amazes me how the mental midgets like to spout off about our our “democracy”. The last time I checked, we had a constitutional federal republic. Democracy is mob rule
Got a problem?
We just reclaimed it.
Bless your heart! How did you people do that ?
You are not real bright, are you? Reclaim? I bet you voted for Kamel_Toe Harris and thought she was black.
These protestors are faced with cheering for DEI, Trans national Gangs , no voter ID, Open borders, fraud ,waste and abuse, Trans activism targeting kids,violence toward cars (owned by other liberals) and ever increasing debt.
We just came off 4 yrs of the Left hiding Bidens mental impairment. The Lefty books coming out now detail how he was clueless and thought he was President of NATO!
We just had an election that repudiated this radical ideology. Unfortunately for the “Hands off” crowd, you are a being looked at as a nonsensical minority.
Good luck running the next election on these “values”
Hear! Hear!!
