Californians Give Kerry a not so warm welcome
John Kerry had a major fundraiser dinner this Thursday in Los Angeles; Kerry and friends, Neil Diamond, Barbara Streisand, and others met at the Walt Disney Concert hall, where they hosted an event for which tickets ranged from $2,000 to $25,000. This was of course, a great chance to show Mr. Kerry that not all Californians support him, and that when he comes here hes sure to encounter some resistant. As it has become almost a tradition around here, Kerrys presence brought on a grandiose demonstration of the FReeping abilities of us Californians.
This amazing demonstration was organized by our ferocious leader RonDog; the FReep went without a hitch. There were about 30 of us, the most notable were of course Saddam (played by RonDog), and Flipper the dolphin. Another highlight of the FReep was a pick-up truck adorned by several conservative messages, e.g. Kerry is Unfit; and a group of pro-lifers not far from where we were standing (and they had HUGE signs).
The media was everywhere, and they did several interviews. We all know that the most important thing in every FReep is to get our message heard as loud and clear as possible; and from this point of view this was clearly a success. One of the major advantages we had during this demonstration was the location; the Walt Disney Music Hall is one of the most dazzling buildings in Downtown L.A. and being across the street from such a place gave us a chance to sort of cut in. We made a lot of heads turn, and as usual we also made a lot of middle fingers rise. All together, this was everything youd want a FReep to be like.
FANTASTIC!! Thank You California FReepers!
The battle of public opinion rages on. The lefties don't own the streets any more.
Fantastic FReeping -- KUDOS to all of you. Great press coverage, too!
DC Chapter Bump -- FReep On!

Great job you guys! Y'all could get jobs at Disney Land, with those costumes. I'm glad you got a lot of publicity out of the FReep.

And I loved the "Gigolos for Kerry" sign, too !
"Gigolos for Kerry"
I think I just hurt myself.
A "wish-you-coulda-been-there" ping!
Man that looks like so much fun! Way to go, California!
The battle of public opinion rages on. The lefties don't own the streets any more.
We need to keep giving them more of their own medicine!
Thanks to super RonDog for organizing it, and super Mark (in the red shirt next to Ron) for taking and posting the pictures.You got THAT right, doodlelady!
One of the MOST IMPORTANT components of a successful FReep is documenting what we did - with PICTURES, posted online.Since we often do not get much coverage in the "mainstream media," it is VITAL that every FReep have someone with a digital camera.
It is almost equally as important for someone at each FReep to have the time, talent, and financial ability to "host" those images on a website that will allow "remote third party linking..."...so that we can SHARE those wonderful FReep pictures with the WORLD, here on Free Republic,
so...THANK YOU, markv840....for documenting our SUCCESS!!!

Ron, were you the one who coordinated the Rallys for America last year?Thank you for the compliment, but that "nice, helpful" guy from California who was one of the driving forces behind MANY nationwide efforts to extend the POWER and EFFECTIVENESS of the Free Republic Network...if yes, you are the one who contacted me & first told me about FR. I was on Glenn Beck's site & there was a forum.

...one of the driving forces behind MANY nationwide efforts to extend the POWER and EFFECTIVENESS of the Free Republic Network...See also, from our press release:
By harnessing the power of the Internet, the Free Republic Forum (FreeRepublic.com) gave birth to a new level of grassroots activism that demonstrates how dedicated citizens can effect change by awakening and mobilizing the vast numbers of Americans who still support the rule of law.FRN was also instrumental in creating and promoting the wonderfully effective "Winter Soldier" project:The Free Republic Network (FreeRepublic.net) organizes, educates, and supports grassroots activists and connects national organizations with grassroots groups and activists across the country that share their common goals and beliefs..."
