In his big speech to Congress Tuesday evening, President Trump called for unity and “renewal of the American spirit,” which “has overcome every challenge throughout our long and storied history.”

“The time for small thinking is over,” Trump declared. “The time for trivial fights is behind us. We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts. The bravery to express the hopes that stir our souls. And the confidence to turn those hopes and dreams to action. From now on, America will be empowered by our aspirations, not burdened by our fears.

Inspired by the future, not bound by the failures of the past. And guided by our vision, not blinded by our doubts.

“I am asking all citizens to embrace this renewal of the American spirit.”

Now Americans in at least 61 U.S. cities are answering Trump’s call this Saturday, March 4.

And they’re urging their fellow countrymen to join them for patriotic rallies across the nation, where they will show their support for President Trump and his ambitious agenda to “Make America Great Again.”

According to Main Street Patriots, the rallies are intended to “reinforce and support the current policies being put in place that will help Make America Great Again!”

“This is definitely a time for national action like this,” said Joseph Farah, founder and chief executive officer of WND.com, who is a keynote speaker at Saturday’s rally in Washington, D.C.

“I am quite certain no new president in the history of this county has faced as much organized and hateful opposition as Donald Trump – and I knowingly include Abraham Lincoln in that group.

“That’s why it is so important for the Americans who elected him to the White House with a powerful Electoral College mandate to be out in the streets to make their voices heard loud and clear. The numbers need to be big, and the message needs to be obvious and focused: ‘You lost, we won. Now get of the way, stop the slander, the spewing of hate and lies, the obstruction, the violence, the lawbreaking and the instigation of chaos and disorder, and give new ideas a chance where old ideas failed.'”

On Feb. 25, President Trump called for Americans to show their support by holding rallies. He tweeted: “Maybe the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN should have their own rally. It would be the biggest of them all!”



As WND reported, thousands of enthusiastic Trump supporters held rallies Monday, the eighth anniversary of the first protest of the tea-party movement in 2009. In Atlanta, a crowd of more than 250 people showed their support for Trump. Just outside New Orleans, about 100 people – most of whom dressed in red, white and blue – gathered at a pavilion in Mandeville, Louisiana. Ralliers carried signs that read “We Love Trump” and “Support Our President.”

Ralliers braved the harsh weather Monday in Bellingham, Washington, drawing about 100 people in three hours. In Abingdon, Virginia, about 40 Trump supporters held signs and chanted, “Trump is the man!” Across the street, about 30 people held signs opposing Trump and some supported Obamacare, the Bristol Herald Courier reported.

In Concord, North Carolina, at least 125 Trump supporters chanted, “Trump Train, Trump Train, Trump Train!” Some people in the crowd carried signs that read “Get on the Trump Train,” “Women for Trump,” “President Trump You are doing a Great Job” and “Politicians Forgot about us! Trump Didn’t!”

Debbie Dooley, one of the key players in the national tea party movement, explained, “These rallies are inclusive, non-partisan, and open to anyone supporting President Trump in his efforts to bring back manufacturing jobs to America, put the security of our nation ahead of political correctness, improve our infrastructure, revitalize the inner cities and secure our nation’s borders.”
