I think we need a clearing house link on main board, I have been referring FReepers by FReep mail to local events, I don't want to confuse FRN with FR.

On Chicago radio it just said that 400 demonstraters in red, white and blue waving flags and singing the "Star Spangled Banner" were separated by police from 200 anti-war demonstraters in Federal plaza in Chicago.

Diotima posted a rally location summary earlier..trying to catch stragglers. Is this what you meant?

FRN is the activism arm of FR.

As usual, the media got it wrong. We had Federal Plaza filled with 2,500 people. A few hundred dope smoking, maggot infested losers tried to spoil our Rally but Chicagos' finest(police)came out in full riot gear to form a wall between us.

Way to go Chicago area freepers!!

As you know, I'm collecting the photos of the rallies. Is anyone collecting all the news articles and FR reports?

Here you go. Great rally, Great speakers, great crowd. After the rally broke up, many, many folks went to the curbs to wave signs and flags. I didn't hear a single disparaging comment form passing cars - lots of thumbs up, honks and cheers. One of he best signs seen on a vehicle:

ANNOY THE MEDIA
