I was there. The atmosphere was electric. I’ve never been around such a cohesive, service-oriented, uplifting, and motivated group of people. Of the 65,000 - 70,000 people from all 50 states and 20 foreign countries in attendance at the main event in Cowboy Stadium, about 35,000 were there early on Friday, in 100 degree heat, to volunteer their time, effort, and expertise in a day of service to thousands of area individuals, churches, nursing homes, and other organizations. When some logistical problems arose in getting 35,000 people to where they were supposed to be, individuals took the initiative to find a way to make it work. No one complained. They just got the job done. It was a testament to the power of the individual versus the inefficiency of government organizations. A life-changing experience.
This is what really annoys the Left. Individuals helping those less fortunate without government direction or approval puts the lie to using the power of government to help the "little guy."
