Thank you all and to everyone else from the DC Chapter who worked so hard to put the Rally together. While it would have been great to see us match the America-haters person for person, the fact that we were there and we stood our ground was an important statement.

I think someone else said it earlier in the thread, but I witnessed what appeared to be a (poorly) planned attempt to infiltrate and disrupt the rally from the beginning. Shortly into Congressman Billybob's speech, a small group of punks started yelling, "Money for bombs, not for schools." They had also planted themselves near a few of the reporters that were there. I think it was an attempt to paint our rally as extremist. They were escorted out by the cops as we were preparing to escort them away in a less than gentle manner.

The speakers were excellent, B-1 Bob Dornan was my favorite, and Kevin Martin was a close runner-up. I think that the volume of our sound system is what caused the near riot, as the America-haters could hear B-1 Bob speak the truth and they didn't like it.

I look forward to standing with you and other Patriots again in the future.

Our excellent sound system was heard on the other side of the Washington Monument and we repeated were asked quite nicely to turn the volume down a little bit.

When B-1 Bob Dornan was speaking and the discourteous, disrespectful, America-hating and easily led opposition protesters lined the sidewalk to boo him, our sound technician, Sharon, turned the volume up extra high on the side speakers to blast them with B-1's speech and help drown them out. Kudos to Sharon!

BTW, the sound system was one of the best I've ever heard and easily drowned out the other rallies' sound. We couldn't hear a thing from the Elipse!
