Patriot1 (Margaret Baird) was interviewed at her home by the local ABC and Fox affiliates for the evening news about our "Rally for America". The New Orleans area rally will take place this Friday, March 21st, between 6 and 8 PM at the park on the corner of Williams Blvd. and W. Metairie in Kenner, LA. ABC did a particularly extensive interview of Patriot1.
This rally is really getting huge! Patriot1's phone is ringing off the hook with people who want to help or want to know how to obtain copies of our rally flyer (it's on the internet at "members.aol.com/margbaird"). Many people are making copies of the internet flier and distributing them to their friends and acquaintances. Local radio station WNOE is even going to do a remote broadcast from the rally.
The most recent confirmation for the rally is Vince Vance (of Vince Vance and the Valiants). He is going to perform the song "Yakity Yak, Bomb Iraq" from his latest CD, which just came out. And popular local talk show host David Tyree is going to emcee the event. 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.
This rally is giving patriots in the New Orleans area an opportunity to stand up for America and to show their support for our troops and our president. Picture it: American flags waving in unison, patriotic music, and inspirational, patriotic speakers. This is going to be a great patriotic event, and we are inviting everyone to join us in what we believe will be a truly memorable event.
Wanted to make the "Freep the creep", but worked that day.
Hope to see you there too, chemicalman. The success we have had in putting together this rally is better than anything we could ever have imagined. I am so happy that our side was represented when the media focused on the anti-war crowd on TV today.
Why don't you come, Blam. Patriot1 said you could stay overnight in her spare bedroom, and you could drive home in the morning.
Thanks for the kind comments about my call-in to the Andre show. Thanks also for the information about the political director of the Republican party sending you an email with our flyer attached. I am thrilled about this, since I wasn't aware that they were doing this. It just keeps getting better and better!
By the way, I guess your beautiful little Reagan must be getting to be quite a "big" girl by now. Be sure to take her to the rally, since it is going to be a family-friendly event.
It's great that you can make it, jimpit. Be sure to introduce yourself to us at the rally.
Thanks for the offer. We had a rally here yesterday, initiated by other groups, about 150 people showed up. Only 2 FReepers though.
In the present 'war' climate I think I'll stay close to home, maybe next time. Tell Patriot1 I said hi and good luck with your rally.
Geaux, Nawleans!!!!!!!!!!
