Support Our Troops Rally - 8 February 2003
Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, time to once again counter the leftists and support our fine military forces in their upcoming liberation of Iraq.
Our group of about 100 charming, chanting people was united in the cause, and morale was sky-high. Support from the public was excellent, with almost constant honking from the cars. A few big trucks joined in with their mighty blasts, an impressive sound indeed!
Ron was there with his Saddam mask and toy missiles which he enjoyed flaunting. I think we need to get someone to dress up as a weapons inspector to follow him around!
Homeless activist Ted Hayes was there as well. It might seem strange to have a homeless activist at a Republican rally, but it was clear that he was with us all the way.
Ted is a very interesting person. He brings a welcome breath of fresh air into the homeless debate by actually doing something about it on a personal level instead of waiting for our creaky old political institutions to help him. He has created a dome village as an alternative living environment for the homeless. I'm not sure how it works, and the web page, sadly, is not much help. But I like the overall idea very much even if I don't quite get the details yet.
Most of the signs were designed by the Young Republicans on a central theme. Unfortunately, I didn't see as much creativity in sign design as I've seen in previous events. Particular thanks must go, then, to the fellow who invented the "Saddam is a Smoking Gun" sign. Great work, guy!
All in all, it was an impressive event. There was total harmony, with complete silence from the left. Perhaps they were off in a more supportive venue...

New Billboard Shows Support For U.S. TroopsAs you drive down I-65 on any given day, you probably see dozens of billboards. But while you're driving, do you really see them? Ted Jackson is the partner of a local governmental affairs firm. He certainly took notice of one billboard on Frankfort Avenue last week on his way into work... and it got him thinking. "I began to wonder why isn't the other view being expressed...that we stand for President Bush, that we support our troops," said Jackson.The "Peace is Patriotic" billboards, like the one on Frankfort Avenue, were erected by a national campaign entitled "Peaceroots." They can be found in several cities across the country. But as our troops continue to be deployed overseas, Jackson felt the need to show the brave men and women that there are Americans who are behind them...one hundred percent. "I finally decided that I was going to do something about it. Take the initiative that there is another view, and pull some people together to express that in this community," said Jackson.
In less than a day, Jackson raised sixty-five hundred dollars to pay for this billboard that sends a simple message: "We support our troops, and the President." Jackson wants people to know this effort isn't about partisanship. "This is not a Republican effort, this is a citizens effort," said Jackson. He hopes word will spread about the billboard so they can put more up around Louisville. And that it catches on nationwide, just as the "Peaceroots" campaign did...via the Internet.
