We stood out on 50 HWY between Lee's Summit and Lone Jack waving our sign and jumping up and down as the motorcade drove by. I was impressed by the show of cops along his route. I hadn't been pulled over to the shoulder for more than a minute before some plain clothes police men pulled behind me and told me I had to move to a side street. Hundreds of cops! We were there for about an hour for a 45-second drive by. Enjoyed every bit of it! :-)

LSAggie & I were among the 14,000 at Lee's Summit High School this morning for the rally. Attendance number came from a suited Bush worker with clipboard. Wonderful speech, energized crowd. "Four more years, USA-USA and Bush-Cheney" were heard many times during his 45 minute speech. Kit Bond, Jim Talent and Sam Graves were there as well, fine speeches. It was so good to see the president in person in our home town. Wonderful weather and a super rally. God Bless George W. Bush.

Hi Sam. I was at the speech in LS today. Security was tight. Even had black unmarked helicopters flying around.

If I hadn't worked all night and then stood for 2 hours I would have enjoyed the speech a lot more. Homemom, I got my "sympathy" ticket ;-) A lot of his speech I had heard already heard but that's ok. I'd never heard him say these things in person before. Would be impossible to come up with a new speech every event. Some of it was new.

Jeanne Patterson, Jim Talent and Kit Bond were there. Kit is real folksy and got in some good zingers against Kerry. The crowd was really ready for President Bush.

Great reactions when he talked about the war on terror, health insurance and prioritization of Social Security.

Took a few pictures but none closeups of Dubya. Wasn't close enough. Did take a couple of pictures of a poster a lady I met there had. If they come out ok I'll post them in a few days.

This lady has a son named Robbie. He is in the military and has been to Iraq. He's currently in the states. She is so proud of him and I told her we all are. Gave her the info on FR and how he can find this thread.

Robbie, if you found this post, register and let us know. We thank you very much for your service.

There were, of course, a few protesters outside the event and across the highway with their "facists" and "no war" signs. Maybe 15-20 tops.
