It's the way it is getting out to the Troops..one person at a time

A couple of dozen Freepers can gather intel in a few hours on the Internet showing over 80,000 people participating in pro-America, pro-war, pro-Bush, anti-peacenik rallies. If WE, a handful of us on just one FR thread, can come up with these reports, chances are there were easily 100k or far more at rallies yesterday---JUST ONE DAY.

The events we have documented alone would have dominated the news cycle if they had been rallies of the LEFT or ANTI-America bunch.

I think it is pretty clear that this puts in perspective the anti-war demonstrations, i.e., the media is blowing them WAY out of proportion in relation to the size of the anti-war movement and in relation to the (enormous) size of those who support our nation, our president, our military and our principles.

These are just the reports I could find of 110 rallies for America Support Our Troops being held across the US from NYC to Bellevue WA.

2,000 ….. Anchorage Alaska
300 ….. Berlin, CT
200 ….. Camp Murray near Tacoma WA
5,000 ….. Charleston WV
5,000 ….. Chicago IL
500 ….. Clarksdale, TN (I'm surprised it was this low. It's a military base town)
500 ….. Costa Mesa CA
4,000 ….. Dallas TX
2,000 ….. Des Moines IA
18,500 ….. Ft. Wayne IN
2,000 ….. Jefferson City, MO
200 ….. Kenner, LA
500 ….. Lansing, MI
800 ….. Louisville KY
40 ….. LSU Campus LA
200 ….. Martinsburg, W VA
8,000 ….. Millington, Tennessee (Memphis)
2,750 ….. Milwaukee WI
400 ….. Monterrey CA
17 ….. Point Pleasean, W VA
550 ….. Raleigh NC
250 ... Reno, NV
4,000 ….. Sacramento, CA
500 ….. Sarasota, FL
5,000 ….. Seattle WA
500 ….. Spokane, WA
17,500 ….. St. Paul MN
100 ….. Stuart, FL
600 ….. Tri-Cities (Kennewick) WA

84,107 ….. TOTAL

3/23

3,000 San Deigo, CA
20,000 Ft Wayne IN
2,000 Buffalo NY
10,000 Richmond VA
2,500 Katy TX
3,000 Duluth, MN organized by 16 year old girl
1,000 NYC
300 DC
1,000 Kenner, LA
2,000 Staten Island, NY
1,500 Los Angeles, CA
5,000 Bellevue WA 500 Santa Rosa CA

Good summation, GailA! Thank you! LadyX - hello! Hope all is well - and if you are feeling well enough next Sat in Charlotte is a Rally. Would that be something you would be able to attend? I did in Raleigh and it was a huge, resounding, success thanks to the efforts of two or three plus the Bob J brilliant FR Network coordination. BobJ - speaking of coordination - look at GailA's work here! Woohoo!

This is just more proof that God is answering our prayers. Have a feeling the coming week-end could be even bigger.

get out your calculator and add 100 more to the Saturday list from Modesto, CA.

My ears are still ringing from all the honking horns. :))
