cowgirlcutie, freepmail or e-mail Clinger about your packages. He may not see the ping here. He is packaging them to deliver on Monday.

(DALLAS PRO-MILITARY RALLY, Sat. Mar. 22, 3-5 PM, Old Red Courthouse. I WAS THERE!!!)
To: SerpentDove
I was there. I met Strela and he said we were to meet later by the sign for pictures. I stood around with him afterward for about 15 minutes but then decided to get out of the rain and left. I saw a group taking pictues at the sign but I didn't think is was freepers as Strela was standing behind them about 10 ft. with his sign. Sorry I didn't meet more of you.
To: Allegra
If it is the black one with the red strap, YES. I usually bring it, just in case. The sound system people backed out at the last second, so they didn't have a true sound system. While the bullhorn wasn't perfect, at least a larger portion of the crowd was able to hear the speeches.

Thanks. I noticed that. I have sent some of those off in an e-mail report to some of my non-FReeper buddies ! . . .

Thanks. For what I subsequently (and more calmy) told them about Kuwait, which they had also trashed, look

Freedom Is Not Free
How many anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-military, anti-matter protestors have come out coast-to-coast - breaking, looting, trashing, supporting terrorism, and tresspassing?
A million? Two Million?
How many other United States citizens abided by the law, respected their President, were thankful for the freedoms they have in America, and quietly and reverntly support and pray for our troops defending their freedom?
Two-Hundred Million?
Two-Hundred and Forty Million?

I'm sorry I missed meeting you strela. I saw you, but I didn't know who you were. Next time we'll have to meet! Its hard to hook up at intimate little gatherings of 3000 people like that, isn't it? ;) Sorry I missed you as well.
I'm taking 3 (really 2 half and one whole) cameras to get pics developed this afternoon.
I'm beginning to think that just taking a disposable and taking snaps is the way to go. I've taken digital cameras to rainy Freeps four or five times, and each time the pictures didn't come out or there were other technical failures.

It was a pleasure to talk to you! With the snarky weather, I was pleasantly amazed that we had the turnout that we did. The hat made all the difference - I can hang a lot longer if I can keep my face dry than if I can't.

The bullhorn was the logical choice for the conditions. However, speaking strictly for myself, I couldn't hear it (I was in the back of the knot of people).
I read in a previous response that the electrician refused to connect a 120VAC power source because of all the rain. I think its time that I research, devise, and construct some sort of light, portable PA system that has enough oomph to be heard in a large group like this, safely, in any weather conditions.

Have you ever wondered if those poor slobs were actually just the "bought and paid for homeless bums" we've been hearing about? Yessir. And, the federales sure seemed to know them as well - didya notice that all the police cars, barricades, and general police presence was on the OTHER side of the street, right next to our comic relief? I think I saw 2 cops in yellow slickers in the crowd on our side all day.

Thank you for the great pictures.
I LOVE the "This is your president, this is your president on drugs" poster.
The little Kurdish girl with the flag draped over her shoulders is a powerful picture. Fantastic job.

Got my pics back! We're in a few pictures together too! Sheesh! Which one of us is too shy? lol I'll work on loading them. It may be a couple of hours before I get them done.
I love disposables. There's sort of a running joke about me and disposables though because I tend to set them down and leave them places. People I probably don't even know probably have pictures of me (and Jim, and Alan Keyes, and etc, etc, etc) lol. I'm sorry I lost the pics I had of Jim.
To: Ms. AntiFeminazi
Great - I look forward to seeing 'em!
Which one of us is too shy?
That would be me. And yes, I still have traces of agoraphobia. It took me a long time to get to where I could be in a crowd of more than 10 people without retreating in blind terror.

I'm sorry I missed you too! Okay, lesson learned for next time - ALWAYS plan a freepmeet for food and drinks immediately after an event! My bad.
To: Ms. AntiFeminazi
Wonderful pics...
I missed the actual getting out on the sidewalk and being a participant due to necessary errands, but I did get to drive past the rally about 4PM and honk for the cause. I found it hilarious as my personal bet came true:
RAIN = NO PEACENIKS

Okay, so this isn't related to the Rally, but I had to post this pic of good friends having dinner after the TX GOP convention in Dallas last summer. :)

Seeking the Truth, MAF, LurkerNoMore! and spouses
Back to the rally! Here are the only protestors I saw. I know there were a FEW more, but they didn't stick around long!
![](http://saturn.he.net/~danger/freepnet/scripts/pictures/040027-R1-11A.jpg)
Two "lesbian, atheist, socialist" protestors. LOL!
The next few pics were taken about half an hour to an hour BEFORE the rally.

People still arriving
I posted these pictures because they are NOT the same crowd that you see lined up along the street. It was very difficult to get a good picture to show the depth of the crowd behind the street, but there were many more people than those street shots show.
More pics to come...
To: Ms. AntiFeminazi
Hey LNM! Why didn't you tell me strela was there?!I thought he 'wasn't supposed to be there". Wait... that was someone else! Sorry 'bout that, Maf.
Strela is a treat to meet. And has a matching hat.
To: Ms. AntiFeminazi
I hope your camera is better than SerpentDove's. I am young, tall, and trim but in the only picture I am in that he took I look like an antigue teapot - old, short, and stout. :-) Got to be the camera.
