Ms. Lucas I have so much respect for you. You sacrifice privacy, life style and the ability to be out in public without recognition. As an introvert my self that is my idea of hell but once upon a time I went out in the world to protest our Gov't actions too. And it corrected a wrong for our country for our people as well. Please get the word out, have the list made public somehow. Protect yourself as much as you can getting away from people from time to time. Continue to tell it "like it is". You are a hero.

Those two old geezers that approached her had no business putting their hands this woman. They have no legal authority over her.
