I just sent this e-mail to the reporter from the L.A. Times that is doing an article on us.

"I just have to spew a little bit. I noticed today that the front page of the California section had a big article on a family of “professional” protesters. I guess they have a huge budget and pay themselves a salary. I also heard from our local police department that the anti-war people will call them and say “we want some media publicity – will you please come and arrest us”. Additionally, I heard that the vast majority of the S.F. protesters weren’t even residents of S.F. – they were imported.

Will you please make a special note that our Pro-Troops/Pro-USA rally is unfunded, unsponsored, completely a private citizen rally and all participants have a direct tie to Ventura County? I think this is a very important distinction. We also don’t ask to be arrested, don’t disrupt traffic, and don’t leave a big mess.

Thank you for letting me vent!"

I just got a call from a mother of a active duty sailor aboard the USS Shiloh. She is going to be interviewed by not one but 2 different reporters from the Star!!! She has gone as far as to PAY for an article about her son in the Star..(in yesterday's paper)...We have a GREAT group if military family members willing to be interviewed, and who ARE being interviewed. If anyone sees an article with mention of the Rally or what may seem like the person is affiliated with our event PLEASE post it!
