In addition to the folks named above, Facebook and other sources name Jim Henry's Daughter Kate Campbell -- see bio at www.katecampbell.com -- , Baptist Women in Ministry Founder Eileen Campbell Reid of Carson Newman and Powell Tn, and Hillary Beard, daughter of associate pastor of FBC Guntersville, Alabama and formerly Ft Payne Alabama in the march in DC. Also Collinsville, Alabama native, now Baylor Chaplain Becky Kennedy in the Waco March.

I'm sure there were thousands of others. Some say ten thousand women from Alabama made the trip to DC. NPR reports out of Bham report three busloads left Bham and Huntsville last weekend.

Three ladies from our church went. Have not heard any report.

One irony of some of the women's march was those who complain of Trump's loud, vulgar and obnoxious ways responding with their own loud, vulgar and obnoxious ways. An eye for an eye, I guess.

[Mrs Haruo]

If you had been grabbed, groped and called vulgar names all day where you worked and if you objected, were told to "lie back, spread your legs and enjoy it. After all, you volunteered, you weren't drafted!" Would you respond with white lace gloves and a quiet "Yes, dear". It happened to me and to millions of other women my age. I couldn't just go home to Mommy. I was on active duty in the US NAVY. If polite doesn't get you anywhere, sometimes you have to bring out the pitchforks and baseball bats to be heard.

Do some people have reasons to be angry about some things? Yes. So that justifies, for example, Ashley Judd saying Trump has wet dreams about his own daughter and Madonna wanting to blow up the White House? I don't buy it.

[Yes, I'm sure Madonna doesn't actually intend to blow up the White House, but that kind of rhetoric has consequences, just like Trump's bad rhetoric.]

[Jon Estes]

I am one of those who have no idea what these women were marching for.

When the bad mouthing about other women not like minded happened -I saw it was not really a march for women but a specific group of womens idealogy.

I guess if you are not like them you can't hang with them.

GO WOMEN - at least some of you...
