***50,000 PRESENT AT LOS ANGELES "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" RALLY***

LA CHAPTER | 3/2/03 | Diotima

[diotima]

The Free Republic Chapter of Los Angeles (also known as The Hollywood Resistance Force) along with a coalition of other conservative organizations held a "Support Our Troops" rally in Los Angeles this afternoon.

The LA Chapter of FR with the Liberty Belles, FitAimAct, College Republicans and BOND met early this morning downtown for our rally, listened to great speeches from the likes of Ted Hayes, of FITAIMACT and Dome Village, Jesse Lee Peterson of BOND, Joe Lauria of the Liberty Belles and FR's own RON DOG.

After the speeches were given we began our march around downtown. A large group of people carring giant American Flags, Bush/Cheney signs, Support Our Troops signs, and the compulsory "France Should Be Ashamed" signs, desended upon the LA MARATHON. As we marched we chanted "Liberate Iraq!" and other marching slogans.

****WE ACTUALLY MARCHED IN THE MARATHON ALMOST TO THE FINISH LINE**** We heard cries of support, thumbs up and many thanks from the LA Police force! (One of them leaned over and said to the person marching next to me 'I am so gald to see you guys here!') When we finished our march, we had interviews with KABC, channel 7 (we have already been on TV) and several other media outlets, I couldn't keep them all straight. If anyone else knows please post them.

When we were finished, marched back along the streets to horns honking and thumbs and returned to our original location.

I'll let eveyone else who was there come in and post their comments. Today's rally was a great success and ai think the key was joining up with other organizations in the area to combine forces and make an impact.

Thanks to the hard work by everyone involved!! Thanks Everyone!

Welcome Sheryl Crow. That would be too funny.

GREAT job FReepers!

[diotima]

I'll say.

[Joe Hadenuf]

I'm really impressed! And in California, no less. This sounds more like the California my folks would remember from long ago in the 50's!

There are more conservatives in Cal the many realize. And after 3 1/2 more years of Davis, (who is from NY) I would say California is going to lean to the right in a big way. Just wait and see. It's gone southbound for this idiot to the point where any hopes of a ticket to DC have been dashed and smashed.

By the time this AH is done, there's gunna be a lot more pissed off people.

Just what the doctor ordered IMHO.....

[firebrand]

Yeah, maybe we can join up with rush hour and claim over a million.

You guys did good! In Calipornia, too!

Let's try to organize everyone we know for the Oscars freep. They'll put you in Siberia but you could get coverage nonetheless.

[firebrand]

Wish I could have seen this! Sounds exhilarating!

Note the real young freeper taking pictures for his school paper!!

I am fairly confident that ONE of the "school" reporters was from ... USC.

I have his name and number written down SOMEWHERE.

I also talked with the folks from La Opinion, who also had a PHOTOGRAPHER there.

[Deb]

Went out. Loved it. Came back. Fainted.

[Joy Angela]

I saw the reporter from USC too!

That's great you took his name and phone number!

Freepers are BRAVE
and SMART too!!

Go USA!!

[Bigg Red]

Woohoo! Way to go, CA Freepers!

Thanks for the flag, girlfriend.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Thanks for the ping. I wish I could of been there.

Perhaps people are finally tired of listening to "celebrities" telling them how to think, and are starting to think for themselves. Great turnout :)
