10,000! Great number! Glad to see we are getting more recognition too.

[GailA]

I counted nearly 125,000 people across America who came out to support our Troops.

"Peter Jennings calls us the pro-war movement, but we're not pro-war," Ms. Hutchison said, referring to the ABC television anchor. "We're pro-military..."

BUMP!

"Anthony Nardella, 49, a retired Navy commander who served in the Persian Gulf war, said he regarded the event as "a counterdemonstration against all the antiwar glitz." He added, "I'm pretty sure you're not going to see people here looting stores or lying down in the streets."

Great time, y'all...hope everything went well in DeeCee!! If you haven't yet, you may wanna get in touch Glenn Beck, as he is trying to organize a Pro-America Rally in DeeCee and y'all's experience could be invaluable in setting up a partnership!!

I'll post some links and FReepMail ya others...MUD

Mr. Beck said his expenses and those of his staff were being paid by his immediate employer, Premiere Radio Networks Inc., a subsidiary of Clear Channel. But he said those costs were being reimbursed by Bills Khakis, a clothing manufacturer whose advertisements appear on Mr. Beck's Web site.

I've got to get me some of these khakis!!

Yep, the pro-America demonstrators have to be at their jobs on Monday...

[FreeTheHostages]

Yeah, I think that's smart and the American way to get a commercial sponsor like that. I saw that Khakis add on his website and I DID want to buy some, just for supporting the rally!

Mudboy -- How'd you hear he wants to do one in DC? Glenn Beck's people should *definitely* get in contact with Kristinn or Angelwood and talk coalition. We know about the good sites, the whiles and ways of permits, good speakers to use, etc.

[2Jedismom]

The ones I liked the most were $95!!

So maybe I should say "Everybody but me has GOT to get a pair of these!!" LOL

[FreeTheHostages]

bump!!

Mudboy, tell us all about it!! What was it like?

[stand watie]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[stand watie]

glad you had a good rally in richmond area-we missed you in DC!

[Ligeia]

From the article:

Many cars and pickup trucks headed to the rally bore bumper stickers that expressed sentiments like this one: "God, Guns and Guts Made America — Let's Keep All of Them." The barbershop chorus, men in black blazers who call themselves the Virginians, sang tunes like "This Is Our Country."

Don't you love this? It's like they're reporting on space aliens or something. Besides, it's "This is MY Country" !! not OUR country. Gee whiz....

[Ligeia]

Wow! Those pics at the link are awesome! Finally, pics from the fork lift! P8riot, your pics are great, too. Can you post a link to them here on this thread so more people can see them? Thanks so much. I'd do it myself but you already know the scenario....

"Glenn Beck's people should *definitely* get in contact with Kristinn or Angelwood and talk coalition."

And vice versa...MUD
