Tonight's Fresno, CA "Support Our Troops" and "Peacenik FReep" rally was attended by seventeen FReepers and patriots. FReepers who were able to make it tonight were:

• Jim, Chris, and Sheila Robinson
  
• JustAmy
  
• FriendAnn
  
• Senorita
  
• GoodieD
  
• Gracie1
  
• Mama_Bear
  
• JKPhoto
  
• Mtngrl@vrwc

I counted nine peaceniks across the street from us tonight. The peaceniks had a little graveyard set up on the hood of one of their cars. One grave stone was for "Truth", one was for "Freedom of Speech" and so on. They held their usual signs that said such things as "United Against War" and "Find the Commmon Ground". They had a new one too. It said "Not Under My Name". I guess that means that they don't approve of the actions of the Bush administration and our military.

JKphoto brought a new sign that quoted the Pledge of Allegiance with "One Nation, Under God" blown up really big. Great sign JKPhoto! At one point tonight, we all stood together in a group and said the Pledge of Allegiance.

Response from those driving by was very enthusiastic as usual. It's very rewarding to know that the people of Fresno agree with us in supporting President Bush and the troops.

A big thanks to all who attended the FReep tonight. To all those who couldn't join us tonight, we missed you and hope we will see you next week!

You do our country proud! On that "common ground" comment from the opposition...tell them that you all have common ground in the right to peacefully assemble and address grievances without being shot, tortured or jailed. God bless America. (^:
