From a young age, we all learn the words: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God.”

It’s on these principles that a handful of individuals went to the Tallapoosa County Courthouse to protest the “No Kings” People’s Rally. Protester Tina Hosey said she didn’t agree with former president Joe Biden, but he was the elected president so she respected his office. Now people are protesting against current elected president Donald Trump. With her dad being a Marine, she grew up learning, you stand by your country, and you also stand with God.
