I have never participated in a protest before, but I’m glad I did today. The Palatine rally was around 200 with several speakers present. Even in the rain the crowd was charged and ready for action. During breaks with the speakers we lined up on both sides of Northwest Highway with our signs and banners. Cars would go by honking their horns and cheering out the windows. Now mind you this is Rep. Kirk’s district (one of the RINOs who voted for the cap-and-trade bill). He was loudly booed whenever his name came up. It was awesome!
I left the proceedings with a feeling something good is starting here. We got to keep up this momentum.
BTW, here’s one of the best signs I saw, “We have hit Barack bottom.”
!!!!!!!!!!! WOW am I pissed! I LIVE in Palatine. I am a politically junkie of A supreme! And I knew NOT ONE SINGLE THING ABOUT THIS! I am SO angry!!
And YES...that is a WONDERFUL sign!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I saw that one also! There were a lot of supporters driving by, except the three that enjoyed paying taxes and gave us the ole’ “you’re number 1” sign! :)
