Received two cell calls from Dave. The stage is set. The flags are waving. The weather is great. They're ready to Roll! Around 0945 the crowd was 50+ including Kristinn, sauropod, Leadpenny, Angelwood, Exit 148, GoreWarVet, Dutchy, Congressman Billy Bob, Black Agnes, TaxMan, TGSL DeComa, WhoKnowsWhatEvil, FireBrand, Country Dummy, Stan Waite, Pro2aMom, 0351Dog. (please pardon any mispelled "names" or omissions. The cell connections were poor).
Around 1015 the crowd was continuing to grow, with some spill over from the Peacenik/anarchist nitwits. Dave reports that it was the port-o-potties that attracted them. But our fearless Freepers labelled the doors "Patriots" and Patriot Women". It seems to be turning them away.
More to follow. Mustang sends from Florida.

Lost battery power so I missed our last speaker Larry Klayman.
I am enjoying so much the reporting here. God bless each and every one of you. And stay safe!
Thank you Patriots for Standing Tall for Liberty and America's brave guardians of Freedom, USA TROOPS!
After some previous obligations, I returned to this thread and was just astounded by your pics. You folks did good. Just wished I was there.
I am blessed to be part of this event.
Mustang sends with Best FFReegards.
Footnote to the day. I heard on the 10 o'clock news that the police arrested two dozen anarchists because they broke into a DC parking garage and were sleeping there over the weekened. It's a misdemeanor offense.
Great pictures of the rally itself. Even during the disturbances, attention was still directed toward the speakers.
Altho some of the infiltrators came to heckle, there were some who did stand and listen for a short time. That was heartening.
There was one guy in his twenties who stopped by. He hadn't taken a stand either way, altho he leaned to the right.(my words) He checked out the different goings-on, liked what he saw in our rally, and wanted to know about Free Republic. I gladly told him how to hookup with us. It's time like that, that really make the day!
And thank you for being there to respond to the Commies.
Thank you all for being there for all of us.
Salute!
