HOLD A RALLY - INSPIRE THOUSANDS - CHANGE YOUR COUNTRY

HOLD A RALLY - INSPIRE THOUSANDS -
CHANGE YOUR COUNTRY


A Bellevue FReep got 2000+ people. The ones at McChord 3000. In some states, numbers have reached 10 and 25,000! Believe me, people are watching. The great thing about Liberty Weekend is that they will all be TOTALED UP. They will range from small to medium to big to huge! We are getting new sponsors every day and reporting all this to the media. Get the word out.

Now let's consider the small rally, in a suburb for example, as you suggest... I need to keep repeating this again and again: Even three people on a street corner are seen by hundreds or thousands as they pass by! In Gig Harbor, 3 Anti-War women in black stood on a street corner every Friday. After a while,a suburb mom got tired of it. She got a couple friends. An active GOP person sent out a newsletter to her district members. A radio station picked it up for just a couple minutes....

Last Friday there were hundreds of people on that corner - and there will be people on that corner every Friday! Now WE OWN THAT CORNER!

1. ONE lonely FReeper is seen by a hundred
2. In those hundred 50%+ support the FReeper
3. 25% are inspired because they thought they were alone...
4. 15% want to join
5. 5% will tell someone or join
6. This is how a rally grows to from 1 to 1000

This is how we make change!
One step at a time... It is powerful!

You are right Libertina! Liberty Weekend is about average Americans, the silent majority, getting out and taking a stand. Yes, some rallies will be large with stages and speakers, but the many will simply be a few people saying to their friends and neighbors, "We're going to be at Main and Oak, come and join us!"

Thanks for the post!

It does make a difference.

Every freep, every event, and every lone citizen standing on a busy intersection with a sign and a flag undercuts the leftist lie that America doesn't support President Bush's decision to remove Saddam.

Thirty years ago during another war, American leftists won their battle against freedom. America deserted an ally, returned home and watched as the communists murdered millions in Southeast Asia.

But this is a new day. And we will not stand aside and let the leftists keep Saddam Hussein in power.

And in 1985 I was on a ship off of the coast of Vietnam that rescued "boat people" escaping that mess. We rescued about 17 of them that day, but several months later came across the bow of a much larger ship with only the bow sticking out above the waves. God alone knows how many died on that ship!

For Freedom!

Besides creating your own Rally....each one of us can put one of these on the back window of our cars.....then it's at eye level and very visible to those behind you at red lights! You can get yours here:
