No, it is not a horse race, nor a head count. But the numbers we turn out does make a difference, for two reasons.

First, to get those numbers, we would have to reach out to other patriotic groups, such as veterans' organizations, local political groups, such as the Northern Virginia GOP, who was one of our co-sponsers, and so on. forming the working alliences with them in organizing and orchetrating these events would help us form the network of allies we need to be truly effective in having our point of view not only heard but considered when decisions are made at the local, state and national level.

Second, there is safety in numbers. That bunch of radicals waving Palestinia flags did not just happen to pass us as they started their march to the Capitol. They broke away, going in the opposite direction from the rest of the march to come over and harrass us, twice. If the Park Police had not been there, it is my opinion that they intended more than to just harrass us. If there had been 1000 of us, 2000 of us, they would not have dared.

Come on, guys, even with the Vietnam War winding down in 1970, at its most unpopular point, patriotic rallys on the Mall in DC were able to attact from 7500 to 30,000 people. I know; I was there. Why can't we do the same?

Mega Greetings Brother!

"I know, I was there. Why can't we do the same"

I was in my rack, trying to get some Z's, but had a burning notion to log back on to FR.

Have no fear Brother. When the shit starts hitting the fan...we will be there with ample cover.

It's really sad, isn't it? Just proves that lots of folks are "outraged" behind the keyboard or next to the water cooler, but when it comes to actually putting forth some effort...

There is a core group of very inspiring folks here at FR that talk the talk and walk the walk. For them I am eternally grateful.
