Just came back from Support our Troops rally at St. Paul capitol.

Good sized crowd was there, speakers Gov. Pawlenty, Sen. Norm Coleman, (no show by Sen. Dayton) Representatives Jim Ramstadt and John Kline.

Some good signs: 'say no to Dixie Chicks', 'liberate So. Dakota'.

When we first arrived there was a woman speaker who started to talk about maybe we should consider our policies as being responsible for animosity against us. This was the same thing that was pulled on us at the rally after 911. This time the crowd wasn't going for it. Everyone started chanting "USA, USA!" until she was drowned out and had to leave the podium.

This rally was organized by retired Lieutenant Colonel Joe Repya, who has to date, distributed I believe over 15,000 'Liberate Iraq' signs.
