I just got off the phone with Dave Dilegge, who gave me an early report, a few minutes ago.
With about 20 patriots at the rally site so far, things got off to a rousing start with a special chant that really pleased the police there: "POLICE ARE GREAT, IT'S TRAITORS THAT WE HATE!"
Leadpenny called while I was writing this up, to give me a list of who's there so far:
JohnnyMac, BigGrayTabby, Little Bill, Dutchy, Electric Strawberry, Cacique, Race Bannon, KLT, OneidaM, Johnny7, Oschisms, NewWahoo, Nitro, Sauropod, Leadpenny, Dave Dilegge, Loanpalm, Johnny B. (not [yet] a FReeper, just came to support us). Lots of flags and great signs. More to come...
