The first to arrive were a troop of Protest Warriors from New Jersey, who brought lots of flags and signs and stayed till the end, chanting and cheering. Soon the Caucus for America pulled up in a pickup truck, which would become our stage. The NYPD had been saving a space for us with a big truck. As the police barricades went up, we tied our signs and flags to them. When I saw that we had 30 or more people at a quarter to five, I knew it was going to be a success, since most people were coming after work. I would say we had 300 all together, counting all the people coming and going at different times; probably a peak of 200 at any one time. List of speakers: firebrand (introduced Raquel and Ryan Mauro) Costumed entertainers: "osama 1" Seen leaving the building: Carl Bernstein and Paul Krugman Some memorable signs: CODE FINK
Freepers in attendance (add your name to the thread if you were there but not mentioned): actionalliance After the rally, we repaired to O'Lunney's, on 45th Street, and were delighted to see our own rally appear on the TV screen on Hannity's show, followed by Roy Innis, discussing the rally. Many heartfelt thanks to all who came. I was delighted to see some folks who don't usually go to rallies, plus of course the tireless yellers and screamers who admirably kept themselves from going across the street to strangle "Paul McCartney" and the woman with the whistle. We were written up in this morning's Sun and Post, appear on a few blogs (as has been pointed out on other threads), and were mentioned on WOR Radio at 4 and 5 yesterday. Add any other publicity that you have seen to this thread, if you would. May this be the beginning of the End of Times!

Perfect summation there. I was glad to be part of it. I was most impressed with the Rabbi. He REALLY let them have it! His words thundered down on the Times and shook the building from its foundation.
After-action report on yesterday's rally.
Great job. I saw and heard the rabbi yesterday on Fox News - I think it was on Brit Hume's show, but may have been Cavuto. Keep up the good work, it's important.
May this be the beginning of the End of Times!
Amen!
Can someone give the correct screen name of "Yehudah"
This is a great poster!!!
Sorry we weren't there. MFVOV did send a statement to be read.
Ping to the NYC rally!
That would be "Yehuda"
cavuito had the rabbi on and a brief segment from the rally.
Thank you for the correction.
Yehudah = Yehuda
Palz = Paltz
Incorribible = Incorrigible
At least I think these are correct since they went through.
Thanks again to ALL who attended!
you are the bombette!
Way to go !!
She was there.
She posted the pics last night.
