BTTT. Complete and total and heart-warming bump from DC. GOOD JOB GUYS!
To: PetroniDE
A big woo hoo to Houston and area Freepers! Great turnout!
Lets hope the mainstream liberal media coverage is better for this weekend's rallies than last weekend. The Orlando rally got poor local coverage (esp Orlando Sentinel) and hopefully rallies in Houston and other cities this week will get better coverage
Actually.....it got better coverage I must say (Houston rally did) Tom Delay's speech was on a number of newscasts today

Houston Chronicle Report - Posted at 4:46 pm today

Thousands cheer at rally downtown
By ALLAN TURNER
Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle
Cheering, chanting and waving flags, thousands jammed shoulder to shoulder into downtown Houston's Jones Plaza today to hear politicians, soldiers and entertainers praise God, America and President Bush's firm stand against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
The ostensibly nonpartisan "Rally for America," sponsored by talk radio station KPRC, quickly turned into a spirited affirmation of Bush's policies. Speakers included House Majority Leader Rep. Tom DeLay, House Deputy Whip Kevin Brady and City Councilman Michael Berry.
The only speaker who opposes military intervention in Iraq, Houston U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, was greeted with boos as she stepped onto the stage midway through the two-hour rally. She and her party later were led from the plaza under protective police guard.
KPRC spokeswoman Melissa Brezner said 8,000 to 10,000 people attended the event. "This is not anti-war and it's not pro-war. It's not leaning either way," she said as the event began at noon.

Please give me an opportunity to vent here!! I am so FRICKIN disappointed at FOX, CNN, and MSNBC! I stayed home to watch some of the coverage on the tube, to NO AVAIL!! These a88hole can cover any little movement by the liberal WHORES but couldn't even donate a few minutes to show some clips of the rallies. I AM SO PISSED OFF AND UPSET, we need to get our message across!! I HATE THE LIBERAL MEDIA WHORES!!
To: PetroniDE
BTW, I caught Ch 13's coverage and the male news reader made a special point of explaining how our rally numbers couldn't hold a candle to the "MILLIONS" of anti-war protesters "from around the WORLD."
Ahhhh shucks. I guess we'll just never measure up in his opinion. BLEEEK!

Saw a clip of part of Tom Delay's speech on FOX News. And lots of flags waving and cheering. Didn't see the crowd, but from the sounds of it, knew it was large. Great job, everyone!

I noticed that even KHOU (Channel 11) included the booing of Queen Sheila in its report ... I found this astounding considering the way that all the local media generally suck-up to her.
Congratulations to everyone on an outstanding rally!
To: PetroniDE
Great After Action Report, PetroniDE! I had such a great time today.
It WAS funny when the sound went out, but what was even better was the fact that all of us just kept right on singing it for him! :o)
I can't wait to see pics!

RoseofTexas: Watch the Channel 26 news at 9:00. Channels 26 and 39 had cameras in the plaza, so they should have the best coverage. First report out of the Houston Chronicle spent too much time on Sheila Jackson-Lee.
JimRobinson: Pictures coming. At least four sources that I know of.
Humidston: Poor Edwina Johnston. Didn't look like he made it. Too afraid? We are just innocent little putty tats. Aw. He must have did this when he saw the size of the crowd:
