From a reader:
This Friday. "Just a reminder - on February 18th at 9 am a judge will make a ruling on the lawsuit against moving the monument in front of the Courthouse ! If ya can make it for a rally at the Statue at 9 am on that day it would be great to show support for keeping the Statue in place !"
