[habs4ever]

Well done! Your dedication to a valiant cause is deserving of the highest praise, and that goes for all who joined you in support yesterday :-)

Great report! - I wish I could have been there in person, but I was definitely there in spirit!

Thanks to all the Freepers who fought the good fight this weekend!

[shetlan]

thank you

[mdittmar]

You did a fantastic job.

Thanks so much.

Patriots are not the minority,we are the majority,the ones that keep our great country moving by taking care of our kids,helping those who truly need help,providing the engime for our great capitalist system and holding back the the tide of human debris that is the left.

The typo police reported at least five typos in the article. My humble apologies.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Thanks for the details. Sorry that I couldn't make it but it's a long commute from the other Washington and DC doesn't respect my Concealed Pistol License anyway.LOL

[Southack]

Thanks for doing what you did!

[Lazamataz]

Despite the glitches, sounds like you guys ROCKED THE HOUSE!

[JulieRNR21]

Thanks for your well written & detailed report.

You & the DC Chapter did a superb job in planning, publizing and executing the Patriots Rally. The liberal media certainly showed their bias in not correcting errors and in ignoring your Press Conference.

The number who attended while not huge is actually remarkable considering that many people were concerned about the real physical dangers of opposing those violent protesters who had wrecked havoc in Genoa, Seattle and in DC last year.

Thank you all for standing up for America and our brave military who risk their lives to protect the freedom we all cherish.

IMHO, you were an excellent TV personality.

I am so impressed by the dedication, determination and respect all of you have shown our country in this effort. A special thanks for all the work of you and other coordinators in such a great effort. You may think it was a small turnout but I am impressed that 400 wonderful Americans showed up and respectfully made their point.

We know how the news media is - they want only information on the radicals. A group of people showing American patriotism is not news to them.

[maica]

It was a great rally, Kristinn, and the effort to bring it all together was huge! Very impressive!

[The Mayor]

SALUTE!

[catfur]

Thank you so much kristinn for this report and for all of the efforts made by the Patriots who organized and attended the rally.

Sorry to admit it, but I was one who was too chicken to attend, knowing who would be attending from the Dark Side.

I watched about 5 min. of the commie rally at my sister's house but had to tune out because I was informed of the cost of replacing that tv if I dared to throw my shoe at it. Plus the cost of the rug if both of us hurled on it!!

I vascilate between crying and cursing. The first for not being there with all of you and the latter because a supposed American network C-Span aired an anti America rally and ignored the Americans who truly believe in their country.

What a world huh?

You know, I hope, all that is implied in the simple words of THANK YOU

[PianoMan]

thanks for everything

[d14truth]

May the Lord bless you all, and America.

[Drango]

As one of the only 15+ Freepers who showed up in San Francisco, I (and the others) deeply appreciate what you did for our country. We have a report coming up! And we didn't have no stinkin' horses protecting us from the "peace" crowd. LOL

[piasa]

Thank you all very much... there are some folks overseas right now who appreciate having the folks at home keeping Fonda-itis from forming.

As the Bible says, "Well done, good and faithful servant." And I mean this with the utmost respect and gratitude.

[austinTparty]

BTTT! I have to say that as I made my way from the Smithsonian Metro stop over to the Rally, I was so unbelievably thankful to finally see the waving American flags held aloft by the FReeper contingent. Seeing some of the signs and hearing some of the comments made by the pro-terrorist (and, yes, that's what they were: nary a sign mentioning the 3,000 AMERICAN dead among them. Nary a denouncement of Palestinian violence. Nary a denouncement of Saudi support for terror...but I digress) made me almost physically ill. I was only able to arrive at a little past 12, unfortunately, but I was glad to have gone. I'm not sure I could have stomached seeing the anti-American, pro-terrorist Marxist crowd on C-Span without having done something to counter them.

Staff Sergeant Braman's account was heart-wrenching. He was obviously speaking with the memories of the events fresh in his mind, the pain on his face visible. It was tremendously moving to hear him describe the determination he and the others with him had to make sure that all bodies would be recovered, that all families would be assured that they had done their best (and I think that this is also a reflection of our American estimation of the value assigned to the individual.) He told of seeing a man lying in shock on the ground with his eyeball blown out of the socket, and of having to leave his clothes on the doorstep when he reached his home, because they were covered with human matter. Very, very powerful.

Niger Innis and Kevin Martin gave powerful denunciations of the other side's accusation that we are fighting a "racist war". And boy oh boy, did Kevin do a great job at silencing the hecklers with knowledge and the force of reason! B-1 Bob Dornan gave a powerful speech and even took on some hecklers behind the stage after he was done.

I will also note, as others have done, that the FReeper area was left virtually spotless, in stark contrast to the other side, where litter abounded. Also, the police were wonderful and so deserving of the cheer we gave them at the end. Hip, hip hooray!

Thanks for all you did, Kristinn, and thanks to all the DC Chapter and everyone else who was there. "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of supporting it." --Patrick Henry
