Great Job of keeping this line of information going...and it's incredible to see all the
other rallies popping up around the country.

I heard a caller on the Hugh Hewitt show this morning (Fri.; via internet at www.kiev870.com)--
enthusiatically announced the rally to start at 1 PM...I can only guess that
this is likely one of the Republican folks associated with Tod, last weekend's manager.
So, if folks can get there and get the demonstration going at 10 AM...everyone should "hold on"
and reinforcements should start appearing around 12:30 to 1 PM as our
friends who don't know about www.freerepublic.com or don't have internet access might be
following the lead of what they hear on radio.

Also, Professor Hewitt mentioned freerepublic.com favorably (with a caveat that a few
of us go "over the top" occassionally...Jim Robinson would concur with that!).
But Hewitt's favorable mention of this site is a good step forward...he is a very visible
Republican of the moderate conservative type. Even if I disagree with some of his stances,
I respect his intellectual firepower and am happy that he has essentially "shaken our hands".

Great job...keep up the good work!

HUGH HEWITT and Free Republic: How should we help him help us?
[Who **IS** this guy?]

(thanks for the thread and the ping, RonDog;
rface, I mention Columbia, MO below)

As a poster of long-standing in this forum, I heartily give my endorsement to
The Hugh Hewitt Show.
Hewitt may be a bit moderate for some of the conservatives and libertarians in this
forum...but he beats the heck out of lots of conservative commentators.

He is generally civil, maybe a bit intellectual at times...but when he identifies
a target of liberal idiocy, he lets 'em have it with all guns blazing.

The country needs to hear him on more stations...and use the internet link at www.newstalk870.com
that (as far as I know) allows them to access the show via the Internet (M-F, 3-6PM Pacific Time).

My main push would be to get him on the air in Columbia, MO, a university town that
is now swept up in a growing tsunami of political correctness, as well as the
Dallas-Ft. Worth area, where I have relatives (and hope to move some day!).

I'm a conservative from Oklahoma/Texas, now a one-man conservative reactionary cell
at a major Southern California university.
And even if I don't agree with Prof. Hewitt on EVERY point, he's a INFORMATIVE and
entertaining listen.
