I just realized there might be some confusion about how this works.How about giving the folks a VISUAL "bribe" to entice them to watch the video?Click here to View the Video and Story
Hope that helps. As always, let me know if you have any problems that can't be resolved by downloading QuickTime.

You WILL need to download Apple's QuickTime software - click here to get it for FREE! - and it DOES work better on a FAST Internet connnection......but it is REALLY WORTH the effort!!!
We WILL "Dump DAVIS!"FREEP REPORT: We Freep the Creeps! (10/28/2002)
| View the Video: All video requires QuickTime Player to view; available for Macintosh or Windows. |
A brave band of enthusiastic freepers were in Inglewood to freep ex-President Clinton and his equally sleazy sidekick, soon to be ex-Governor Gray Davis!
A crowd of about 30-40 people were hoisting signs and banners, making a lot of noise in the process! And, as always, we got tremendous support from the traffic, with tons of honks and expressions of sympathy for the cause.
Unfortunately, thanks to tight security, we were unable to get anywhere near the actual event. It looks like they got a little smarter with this event - the venue had massive fences around it, and the event was about in the middle. The crowd of 1,000 (surely not that big for the likes of Clinton) was swallowed up by the enormous property, so it's likely that we couldn't have gotten much attention even if we had been allowed free movement.
Loud chanting of our favourite slogans - Hey Hey, Ho, Ho, Gray Davis Gotta Go!, DUMP DAVIS NOW, and many others made sure there was no doubt abbout the intensity of our support!
The star of the show was surely Monica Lewinsky, who was kind enough to visit and show here continued devotion to Bill. She was slimmer than the real Monica, but (and I hope I'm not offending her) had that perfect full-lipped charm, very much in the spirit of the legend.
As Hangfire would say, most of the "usual suspects" showed up, together with some new friends. We had RonDog, Outraged, Paola, Paola's Mom and many others. Unfortunately I have to finish this by 7:30 and it's already 7:25, so I can't dredge up any more names. I'm sure RonDog will soon arrive with the roll call.
This was a particularly fun freep for me, because I got to show off a brand new gadget, a Frezzi Dimmable Video Light, obtained at frightening cost from my pals at Samy's Camera in Hollywood. If it hadn't been for that light, I don't think anyone would have been able to get any pictures at all! The Outraged photos you see below were illuminated with my light, because it was so dark that it was impossible to see otherwise!
Adding to my amusement was USC journalism student Heather, who had a S-VHS camcorder on a tripod, but no light! She was sadly embarassed at her lack of gadgetry compared to the Freeper team, and asked me to illuminate her photographs and interviews. I, of course, amiably complied, so I have the same interviews she does on tape. I have to say that if Heather is really paying $36,000 a year for her instruction, the school oughta do better than S-VHS! Get with the 21st Century, guys!
Here are the pictures taken at the event, in roughly the order in which they were taken.
