We were at the Nancy Pelosi protest today in Miami. There were only about 20 people. It was very disappointing. We hope that more people show up for the next stops on her book tour. Come on people, go out and make your voices heard or don't come on here and complain. I have pictures but don't know how to post them. If anyone lets me know how I will post them.
OK, but what happened. Appreciate your going out that is great.
Sometimes when we do FReeps their are only two people. Me and husband. So are you saying that only 20 people showed for the bookstore signing?
Twenty sounds good... ;-)
So details if you please...
Were you outside or pay the $12.00 per head to get in...
Where there many buyers there ?
The book signing was inside of a Jewish Temple and you needed tickets to go
inside. We were outside and there were about 20 of us. We were on the local news. Alot of cars were honking at our signs. When Pelosi exited the building
she was rushed away in her Cadillac Escalade. The SUV was parked between
us and the door she exited from so she could not see us but she sure heard us.
I really hope that there is a greater turnout at the other book signings.
You didn’t forget your flags and signs. You did great!
Cigar Dave was there and pictures might be on The Schnitt Show website tomorrow.
Oh my Gosh you did really well. Please give us a report what went on. It looks like you have nothing to complain about. Remember some FReeps are just two people with American Flags and some signs.
Classy group, creative signs, TV coverage! Y'all did great!
I'm sure it ran on soybean oil too. Typical elitist liberal snob.
Too bad there was no Jesus to clean up that sham.
Thank you for your effort and do NOT underestimate what you did.
To a politician at a Book Signing, 20 protestors IS a big deal. Don’t think it was not somewhat disconcerting to her; IT WAS.
“Nice job” to the 20 who showed and FReeped her.
Can you do that inside a Jewish Temple?
Even if you could I wouldn't. Something sacriledge about the whole thing. Didn't Christ kick people out of the Temple for selling?
The more I learn about this woman the more dismayed I am about her. Sheesh!
Way to go! The pictures look great and you did yourselves and FR proud!
Great job!
According to a Rabbi that was outside protesting with us, this was a very liberal Temple in Miami. Of course, that cleared up a great deal.
Thank you so much! This was my very first FReep and it lasted approximately two hours. Everyone outside was wonderful. We simply felt that we had a purpose for being there. She confirmed that as she was zipped away by security detail and local police. We strongly encourage more FReeps for the rest of her book tour. Make your voice and presence known.
Only 20? I’d say that is great.
Thanks for representing us and letting the devil feel the heat of hell. Opposition up close and personal is probably new to the San Fran hero of lesbian adulators.
I doubt it, there were probably more outside than inside....
SPEAKER OF THE FLOP: PELOSI SELLS 2,737 COPIES OF BOOK
Thu Aug 07 2008
The most powerful woman in the history of American politics is suffering a humiliating defeat at the nation's bookstores, sales figures show. In her first week at market, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi sold just 2,737 copies of her book KNOW YOUR POWER, according to NIELSEN BOOKSCAN. The DOUBLEDAY release was launched with a full media push, featuring high profile interviews on TODAYTHEVIEWTHISWEEK.
Liberal Temple... isn't that an oxymoron?
Great job!
the GOOD news is you probably had more protesters than book buyers.
Bad news is our tax dollars may be accounting for most of the sales.

...and scroll down. Looks like libraries are buying most of the copies.
Wow! You all did good work! It looks like a busy intersection; what was the response from people driving by?
Lots of cheers and honking. Folks even stopped to take pictures of us. The intersection was US-1 directly in front of the UM Campus. This issue is a winner for the GOP and all Americans. KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!!!! She’s gonna cave in sooner or later.

I am proud of attending the protest, i hope Pelosi gets back to work and allows the congress to vote. so the greatest country in the world can start the process of being energy independent.

Good report. Hopefully this will be moved to activism and news where reports such as this are usually posted
20 patriots are more than they have in the entire democrat machine.
Thanks for participating, and a HUGE welcome to FR!!!
Hey, you did your job. You got media and she slinked away. Hooray for the 20!!
Great job, thanks.
And yes, pics and a better narrative in thread is preferred, but you are a "newbie". Live & learn
Twenty is very good, baba123. Don’t be disappointed!
The loser left has rent-a-mobs for various occasions that they bus in from all over whenever they want to stage a protest.
People on the right are generally too busy working and raising families to be able to participate in protests as often as they might like—so 20 during a weekday is awesome!
Congrats, thank you and well done!
Sounds like a successful Freep to me! Some pictures of Nancy and her Escalade would be great.
Great job, Florida, 20 people is good. Good signs and great response. We are all inspired by this excellent FReep!
Thank you so much. At first, I did not realize that 20 protestors was actually a good turnout. Everyone on Free Republic has enlightened me to the fact that we did make a HUGE difference Wednesday evening. My wife and myself have now witnessed the importance and significance that a relatively small group of activists can make. As of today, the message and photos have been viewed by over 1100 people on this website alone. The photos taken by “Cigar Dave” have been posted on TheSchnittShow.com website and we made the local news that evening. More than just a difference, we had an impact.
20 people isn’t bad at all. If you were on the other side of the fence, 20 people is enough to get a front page article with a (tightly and strategically shot) photograph in the newspaper and on the local news...
20!?! That’s an impressive number for a weekday protest. You should keep letting people know. And, you’ve got a base for future Freeps. Great job.
You know, I heard thet Her Book is a disaster! She has only sold Nation wide about 2500.
Thats a total BOMB!!!
even with Huge Media support!!!
Theres 10 times that many Leftists in Marin County ( Her Home)
What a Looser Pinko Commie “TOOL” She is.
Haww! Haww!
You did great!
The problem with protesting from OUR side is that the back bone of America are working people...if Nancy has a book signing on a weekend day, there is a better chance of seeing greater turnour.
20 is a good turnout considering no one is even BUYING her book. Less than 3,000 sales on the first day.
What does her SUV Escalade run on?
Last year there were craigslist ads paying protesters to move to certain cities where they would even be given housing.
“The problem with protesting from OUR side is that the back bone of America are working people”
Right, and travel is more expensive for some reason. That’s why I said, “Great”. [No, I’m not Tony the Tiger.]
