Patriot1 (Margaret Baird) has done an absolutely outstanding job of organizing the New Orleans Area Rally for America to be held on Friday, March 21st from 6 to 8 PM at the park located at Williams Blvd. and West Metairie in the city of Kenner. Plans for the rally are almost complete, and we are expecting a great turnout.

Patriot1 designed a colorful flyer with American flags, stars, etc. giving information about our Rally for America, which she faxed to various radio stations, as well as providing it to numerous groups in the area to copy and distribute. We are also calling in to the local talk shows to promote the rally, and we are extremely heartened by the tremendous response we have had. So many people have been looking for an opportunity to stand up for America and to show their support for our troops and our President, and our rally is giving them the chance to do this.

We are also thrilled that the popular WWL radio talkshow host, David Tyree, has agreed to be the emcee for the rally. We have also lined up outstanding speakers, including Congressional Medal of Honor winner Gen. James Livingston, State Senator Ken Hollis, State Rep. Steve Scalise, and other patriotic elected officials.

Press releases have been sent to all of the radio and TV stations in the area, and Patriot1 will follow up with another press release later in the week. We are hoping for significant media coverage of this event.

A sea of American flags, patriotic music, and inspirational speakers will be the order of the day! This is going to be a great patriotic event, and we are inviting everyone within driving distance of New Orleans to join us in what we believe will be a memorable event. Don’t miss it!

You couldn't line up Bill Jefferson, Marc Morial or Eddie Jordan. I am shocked. </Sarcasm>

[WFTR]

I'm hoping to come. I'll try to find some others who might be interested as well.

I have a prior commitment which cannot be canceled so unfortunately I won't be able to make it to the rally. I will be there in spirit though!

Great job!

The responses and enthusiasm to our messages about our Rally for America have been absolutely wonderful! I received an email from an individual who is a Vietnam Veteran and who belongs to an American Legion chapter, a VFW chapter and who holds the Knights of Columbus' Patriotic (4th)(Highest Degree. He said, "In these capacities I extend an extreme appreciation for the rally and the support of our Commander-In-Chief and ALL of our Military and Civilian personnel involved in performing their rightful mission assignments. The he said, "Again, THANK YOU." I am so happy that we have this opportunity to show our appreciation to those in the military.

I have some friends down near New Orleans, but they're not FReepers. Where can I direct them to go for more info? (Great work, BTW!)

This is the first I'm hearing about this! I'll do my best to be there and if I can't make it, I'll forward this to everyone I know!

My prayers and full support go to all American men and women who, at this moment, are in harm's way for the sake of their country.

I just heard about this on David Tyree's radio show, and stopped on my way home to get materials to make a sign with. I'm gonna see what I can do to get the word out.

Thanks, Sofa King. Anything you can do to get the word out will help.

The success we have had in organizing our "Rally for America" is beyond our wildest expectations. I believe it is going to be a truly memorable experience. Hope to see you there.
