14. OK, I thought about this, too.....BUT......
He will never see those shoes and probably never even hear about it. I would say someone needs to start collecting the shoes. Then on January 19th take a dumptruck full (or 2 or 3 or more) and dump them in front of the WH. This will get everyone's attention and send a clearer message.
Anyone up for this task?
