Though they were small in numbers, their impact was big during Friday's rush hour above Interstate Hwy. 35 in Minneapolis."The silent majority needs to be heard," said Dave Asher of Minneapolis, one of five people holding "Liberate Iraq -- Support the Troops" placards on the 40th Street pedestrian bridge as a stream of drivers sounded their praise. "I know we're out there."

I honked.

I am going to my first rally or anything freeper tomorrow and I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight. I can't hardly stand it!

How in the world can Repya allow the communist Mark Dayton to speak? This is a man that has funded ultra-Left organizations starting with the Black Panthers and ending with his purchase of a Senate seat after previous failed attempts. I believe I may mosey over to the Capitol...just to hear him get booed.

Take a breath and breathe! You will do great! Say hello to Joe Repya from me, HighRoadToChina.

It is a being called non-partisan and a show of support for our troops, not pro-war. What suprises me is he has the stones to show up. I wonder if silence might be more effective than booing?

Hope to see you there.

Glad to read that you are going to the rally tomorrow. You will love it! I was at ours tonight in Fresno, and believe me, it will do your heart good to see the support for the troops from the public!

If they would have listed this rally on the www.freeper.org site, they might have had 200!
