As I protested against Clinton and Torricelli in Newark, NJ a few months later, Don and Terris experience was fresh in my mind.
The March For Justice was shocking as it represented the first mass gathering of conservatives of people who saw through Clintons. I was a lurker then but signed up shortly after I witnessed that event on CSPAN. The street protests in cities like Philly, Newark, New York, LA, DC and other liberal bastions was an even greater shock to the petty regimes that had the monopoly on protesting. Don and Terri were among the ground breakers in this effort.
We are fortunate that no other FReepers have had to endure the same tribulations that Don and Terri have experienced throughout these years. I dont know if such an event could even occur now. However, should a FReeper get a beat down by the loyal thugs of the corrupt local machine, the courage and perseverance Don and Terri have demonstrated will be an example to all.
You were brave too -- knowing what had happened just a few short months before to Don and Teri. Those were heady days... Things moved quickly and history would have been different if the Clintons had pulled off their "vast right wing" totalitarian maneuver. Thank God for the right people at the right time ... it was close.
Thanks for your prayers and kind words of encouragement. They go a LONG way and we sorely need them!
