Little girl's brother-
although your intentions are good and entertaining, I would prefer that you not use the word "pussy" on the same sign as my sister's picture. the sign is a neat idea, but at least try to revise that word.
What all you Freepers (I learned a new word today!) can do for my family is to show the same kind of support for our president, maybe attend Kerry/Edwards rallies yourself... showing the same kind of respect, perserverence, and steadfast resolve that we have tried to show. Please bring good credit upon yourselves and our president.
BTW I will give Sophia big hug tomorrow for all of you. She is a cutie. Thank you.
hmm, "Thank you" is what President Bush said to Sophia when she gave him a hug at the Bush rally last Friday.
I'd like to thank you for posting here Philip. As you can see, a LOT of people are upset and outraged by this. I'm glad your sister is okay. Good for your family.
Point taken...but only out of respect for your sister. The union dork deserves worse.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Give your brave sister and Dad a hug for all of us.
I'm late to this discussion, and would respect your family's right to their own image. But if you have a picture of Bush hugging your precious little sister to contrast with this one, I am sure some of the talented FReepers here could get a lot of mileage out of that.
Let me know if you want/are willing to let me pursue this. I can't do the editing required, but could help you track down someone who could.
Thank you for talking with us Philip. Please make sure and hug that little princess for us all.
Tell your Dad thanks for keeping his cool. The contrast between him and the creep is striking.
People will remember that.
As a mom, please tell your parents thank you for raising such a good family.
Three of you in the Guard? That's awesome. Thanks for your service to our country.
Welcome to FR and I hope you stay with us.

I do hope she's alright. Wouldn't it be nice if the President said he remembered her, and inquired about her disposition, as well?
But, I'm sorry, you know even if the police were friendly, or some were, they clearly dropped the ball. This should never have happened. Like NYPD doing crowd control at the convention, they should have waded right in with a badge and a nightstick. And that guy, and maybe a couple of others, should be up on charges, right now.
But it's a good call, I think, as well. Ask others to show. LOTS of others. LOTS and LOTS of others. Lots of others who'd like it if somebody tried the same stunt with them. Try it on a grown-up woman and Bush supporter. Can you imagine Laura Ingraham or Ann Coulter having a sign ripped from their hands? But, bring LOTS of banners. And if the union thugs start a-slappin, I think, in that case, it would be a credit and would be a good show to slap them back. Frankly, that's what that guy needed.
p.s. your dad showed great restraint! Me, as a mother, I would have been whopping that boys A$$ for doing something like that to my kid! Kudos to your dad!
p.s.s. drop in at the Canteen sometime and help us support our military and our allies!
Freeped the local Dems pretty good today (Freeport, IL) with you guys in mind, using Kerry's treasonous words against him. Got 'em pretty good, they were really going nuts, and wouldn't talk to us at all after our oldest member revealed he's a Vietnam vet. If I say something I don't know anything because I'm in my thrities, but when a real Vietnam vet shows up, they clam up. Fun stuff!
Welcome if you are who you say you are.
Welcome to FR!..Hugs to your little sister...
