Fresno Support our Troops/Counter-Protest Peacenik Rally 11/02/01

Tonight's Fresno "Support our Troops Rally" (which was also held to counter-protest the peaceniks that appear like clock work every Friday night) was such fun! There were only about 20 of us tonight altogether, but what we lacked in numbers we made up for in enthusiasm.
No media showed up tonight. I guess it must have been a busy news day otherwise. (Not!)
We chanted some of our past favorites such as "USA", "We support the troops", No justice, no peace", "We don't care what you say, We're going to bomb them anyway", and "All we are saying, Is give bombs a chance". We chanted a few new ones too, like "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Islam" (sung to the Beach Boy's Barbara Ann tune), and "USA, all the way".
I wish you all could hear the response we get from the people driving by! It's absolutely heart warming!
FReepers attending tonight were:
- Jim Robinson with his wife Sheila and his son Chris
- chadsworth (ladyinred's husband)
- MLO
- gracie1
- goodieD and her daughter
- Clovis_Skeptic and his daughter
- JustAmy
- mtngrl@vrwc
A big thanks to all who attended!

Tame's mother stopped by for about 5 minutes; she was on her way to an appointment and unaware of our rally. She signed the banner and plans to be back next week. Oh, how nice! She's a great FReeper, even though she isn't on line. Come to think of it, I haven't seen tame around the threads for several weeks, but I know he just loves it when his mom gets to participate with us.
We got a few more signatures.
Good. I'll see you all next FRiday. I hope our new ralliers will become regulars.
To: Clovis_Skeptic
Roger that on the freep LadyinRed for attendance. Maybe if you Freep her, she will make some of her "famous" bownies for next friday's "support the Troops gathering".
To: mtngrl@vrwc
HONK! HONK!Good Job, Fresno Freepers!!! Your Freeping makes all of us feel so patriotic and proud to be an American!
To: mtngrl@vrwc
Great Job as usual for the Fresno team. With that team, and all the high quality players, you will no doubt have an undefeated season. Keep up the good work and the great reports.
Go Team Go!!!
To: mlo; Silly
Thanks for the flag. Wish I could have been there, and maybe one of these days I will. Silly, anything on a trip and tour that we discussed?

"I was especially proud of my 14 yr old daughter, that not only agreed to go with me, but also told her aunt ladyinred, that she would attend next Friday if she would. The challenge is out!!"
Now, how could you ignore the challenge from your wonderful, patriotic niece?

Thank you for your dedication, freepers. God bless you and God bless America.
To: mtngrl@vrwc
As I said last nite, what really gets me are the people who have flags on their cars and don't honk. Someone else on another thread said it best.. "their patriotism is only 'flag deep'".

WELL DONE!
To: mtngrl@vrwc
Thanks mtngrl! (I've been bitten by a tse-tse fly; sleeping constantly now!!) I really appreciate your setting my l'il book out for view-alization! *G* I hope the other one GETS here, so I can sign it, and send it!! BAMM should have sent a note, though,
for the troops. Did that arrive with the book??
I'll plant a seed to think upon for further "themes" for FReeps to come!! You're off to a better start than you think! Especially with the holidays coming. For some reason, people's generosity tends to grow around this time. I think their patriotism will grow with it this year! We have only to capitalize on that!! (ONLY??) (*G*) I'll work on it!! ;-}
Much luv to my "Adopted Chapter,"

So grateful for your steadfastness!
