I saw the Salt Lake City mayor on Fox and Friends this a.m. and he made me physically ill. What a poor example for the people of Utah. He was organizing a protest for President Bush's visit. I was hoping there would be lots there to counter his display of unpatriotic behavior. Thanks for the pictures.

After Action Ping!

Thanks to Redrock, NraFreedom, UAC Utah, and Poltak for attending. I wouldn't be surprised if others were there as well but in the crowd of about 400, it wasn't easy to find everyone (I missed NraFreedom, for example). If you were there, check in on this thread.

Also, check: Freep This Poll: Protest During American Legion Convention (Bush visit)

Thanks for the thread. Great pics. Looks like you had a good crowd and a lot of Legionaries. Keep up the good work.

Is this the Salt Lake City mayor that E.D. Hill seemed to attack because he would not welcome President Bush? If so, E.D. did very well!

Yes. That is Rocky Anderson (see: Veterans Clash With Salt Lake City Mayor).

It was great meeting up with you and being able to support our troops. Too bad I missed the Iraqi Doctor's speech, but being able to crash the Anderson rally was also priceless. I hope we'll continue beyond today to spread the truth about the war in Iraq (not Michael Moore's 'truth', but the actual truth) so that hopefully enough Americans will be awake and aware that we won't face the same problems with Islamofascism as we're seeing presently in Europe.
Great pics, by the way! Thanks for posting. I don't have your private email address but as soon as I get it, I'll send my pics since I don't know how to post them here.

Utah is now free? You mean I can pay taxes through the nose and buy some whiskey in the state now?

Wish I could have been there. My wife razzed me last night as we were watching the news making fun of me because I couldn't be there. It was all in good fun. She knows how bad I wanted to be there. I wouldn't let her watch CSI:NY so I could watch the President land and give his speech at the airport. Channel 4 had it live so did Fox News. Not sure if channel 5 had it or not.
My wife said that channel 4 really stuck it to Rocky with some pretty unfavorable coverage. The channel 4 crew was also quite complimentary of the President in their coverage. I really like how all Utah stations refer to the lefties as protests and the pro-troop people as rallies. It really gives the left the negative outlook. And Soccer, if you held your own during that interview, then that only helps the cause.
Great job guys, I wish I could have been there, but work and school, and a two hour drive really prevented me. But you guys represented well! Thanks a million.
God Bless President Bush, the troops and the United States of America.

Sorry to have missed you. I was at the rally at Liberty Park, the rally at City Hall in early evening and at the Airport to see and hear President Bush.

I took some unbelievably great pics; but when I got home all of them except for Air Force One after the crowd left turned out.

If anyone has pics of either the City-County Building Pro Bush/Troops Rally or the President's arrival Please post as my disappointment of my efforts is way high.

Thanks for allowing us to get together and show the real side of America to the world and let the positive voices be heard.
