Many people were stunned at some of the images coming from the U.S. Capitol today, and a small group that gathered downtown today said they feel itâs possibly more important than ever to promote the idea of togetherness. âIt doesn't matter if youâre a Republican, Democrat, or Independent, doesn't matter if you have any political affiliation at all,â said Pastor Angelo Frazier, of Riverlakes Church.
