Great time at the rally today! We began around 4:00 pm and had people jumping out of their cars and grabbing signs and American Flags. What a great freep! We had approximately 65 people on our side of the "aisle" compared to about 10 "peacenicks". Thanks goes out to David Chu (freeper) and his wonderful "LIBERATE IRAQ AND SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" signage,American flags,and photography,the Republican Womens Club of Santa Rosa were in force,many business people just getting off work in the downtown area joined us, and other patriotic Americans. People were honking in support of America and our troops and it was exciting to see the silent majority jump in and participate, and more to come next Friday. In addition, we had TV 50 the local news station! If it can happen in "lalaland" it can happen anywhere!!!

Who was the guy handing out those great American Flag posters with the caption 9-11-01 "A Day of Remembrance"? Also, who was the other guy handing out the American Flags? Those two should be commended. I hope they come next week.

Excellent!
To: cali5
Excellent job, fellow FReepers. Yes, there's a certain amount of risk in participating in a
protest in your home town. However, with the response you received, you can see it is mostly upside. And there are some causes where it is a moral imperative.
This points out the importance of keeping a FReepKit in your car. If you see a protest happening, pull over for even 15 minutes. Join in! GWB needs us more than ever.
Please ping this thread when the pictures are posted.

A definite success! You can truly pat yourselves on the back. Give us more advance notice next time and you'll get 100 patriots.

Next Friday (3/14/03) at the Courthouse in Santa Rosa (Santa Rosa Avenue between 3rd and 4th Street) from 4 to 6 PM.
We had slmost as many as we did in SF on 2/16!!!
Santa Rosa is the heart of Lalaland. If you could of seen the response we had of cars passing by, you'd thought that we were FReeping in Bush country!
Be there! Awesome picture to follow tomorrow!
To: Angelwood
Do you guys have pics posted on the 3/1 rally? If not, I just got my photos. Just tell me where I can uploaded to and you can some really awesome pics!
Great seeing you!
To: Libertina
Ping from the heart of Lalaland!
To: cali5
Good for you. A lot of people think it won't be very comfortable out there. Once you get there with your fellow Freepers it's a blast. We always stop somewhere afterwards for a food break. There you can unwind and talk about your stories. It's amazing what someone two feet from you sees, that you were totally unaware of.
Way to go folks!
