From the after-action report posted by daviddennis on www.amazing.com:
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...

Great Job! You are the bees knees!Thanks, but the Orange County Young Republicans (and the folks from FIT-AIM-ACT) deserve MOST of the credit for insuring that this important rally was HUGELY successful. (I just helped to promote THEIR efforts.)
Here is ANOTHER great idea that perhaps we can promote, from:
