About 25 came to Sanborn Square in Boca Raton, Thursday afternoon, Feb. 3, to show solidarity with protestors in Egypt. Friday, Feb. 4, protestors are demanding that 4th President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak step down. Mubarak became Vice President in 1975. On Oct. 14, 1981 he assumed the presidency.
Senior citizens Earl & Marjorie Sexton came down from Boynton Beach, where they are wintering. She said she gets e-mails from a lot of groups. ‘We need to keep after our president and congressmen. We need to stop what we’re doing, supporting a dictator,” she said, while holding up a sign.
