I was at L.A. rally at Griffith Park, Los Angeles on Sunday. It was great but the locale did not provide enough parking and there were no signs pointing the way. Even near end of rally and entertainment people were still trying to get in.

I was told police shut down some roads (others were closed due to construction) due to extreme traffic. I got there very early and happened to see someone with a flag and just followed them into the meeting/parking area.

My strong advice would be that people attending future parties across the country plan to arrive an hour or more ahead of rally, if at all possible, especially if they are unsure of the particulars re parking, etc.

So, my suspicion is that we had at least half again as many attendees as actually showed up meandering around the area, trying to find their way in.

I met people who had been to similar events in recent months but more who were doing this for the FIRST TIME EVER! This movement is definitely growing and people getting more and more enthused.

We shouted down the little crowd of those with opposing views, with their mass produced signs, etc. Naturally ABC’s local affiliate showed up and filmed, but mostly THEM, not us. Our people had to do our own filming and they did!

Had we been at the Federal Building in Westwood we’d have had a huge turnout but this was rather last minute as it was originally slated for Anaheim in Orange County.

I hope we see many more photos — everyone was energized and waving handmade signs as well as wearing buttons, tee-shirts and waving American and Dont Tread on Me flags!!!

Good luck as the buses continue their tour — hope everyone who possibly can do so will get out there and attend these gatherings in coming days. I’m anxious to hear how Bakersfield is going today..........

I’ll be there, too, with a bunch of friends and family. Wish you could have made arrangements to do it at Mt. Rushmore. That would have been awesome! I hope all of you have time to make the trip up to the Monument.

Really looking forward to seeing all of you.

Do you have a good guess as to what the weather will be like when we roll through?

Hmmm...it's a toss up. We are expecting snow tonight, but it could be cool and sunny the next day. I'll let you know when it gets closer.
