VallerieUSA will be heading back to Austin with a bunch of photos and should have those posted by around 5 PM. CNTTXAN indicates between one hundred and one hundred and fifty p[atriotic, flag waving supporters of our troops now there. I could hear Dr. Raul talking in the background as CntTxan gave his report. Go RAUL! CNTTXAN indicates that vehicles are backed up on the main road in fornt of the rally. Lots of drive by support too.
Everything is going very well, very smooth, very well behaved. Have had a few taunts from anti-protestors, but they are being ignored. They are letting their numbers, their enthusiasm, their flags and the speakers do the talking for them.
Again, let's all make sure we give these guys our full support. BUMP the thread often. Post comments and pictures you may find.
God bless these guys for their support of our troops today.
Next update at 2:00 PM
Happy bump.
Is there any count on exactly how many leftists are in the area?
From the net....

(if ya click on the word Machine, they have it hotlinked to this thread.) Everyone say Hi! :)
Just saw the Freeper signs on Fox. I didn't recognize the few freepers they showed.
Anyone who is reading this and finds themselves wishing they could do something for the troops too; do what I did when I was in Indianapolis this year for the 500. I carried a sign around with me that said thanks "troops on one side" and "we love the troops" on another side. I just took my sign out with me where ever i went, told people I was posting photos for the troops and would they like to say thanks to our heroes. The folks were very excited about it. I got one ...yes ONE no.
Anyone can do that, and it is free if you have a digital camera.....I posted them here at fr in the Canteen and emailed them all around. ,p.go ahead freeps- you know you want to. :]
You have freepmail
I'm keeping up Jeff, you are doing a great job reporting from where you are.
Bump and thanks for the updates.
This is great!
