Grant them tolerable weather - safety from disrupters - good television coverage so viewers may see how strong is our support of a just cause.

Amen.

The weather is always tolerable. We're tough. We had our pre-rally dinner tonight. The vets came and ate with us -- great Marine guys. We'll be safe from disruptors -- our rally site is right near the Vietnam Memorial, and the US Park Police ain't gonna do less than protect that whole area thoroughly.

As to good media coverage, our pre-rally dinner was covered by the local Channel 9 tonight and the McNeil/Lehrer report and others will be filming tomorrow. The Washington Post is going to have some kind of live photo feed, I don't understand the details. But I'm sure the DC Chapter will have a live thread to keep you all updated.

Pre-rally preparations are complete. Kristinn and Angelwood and Sauropod and Doctor Raoul and everyone have been working very hard. God helps those who help themselves.

There are going to be lots of veterans with us there, and frankly God's already answered my prayer. I'm more interested in showing the vets that I care than the media, which doesn't get it. The media just broadcast comment from Tony Murphy tonight, calling him a spokesman for the peace movement and failing to mention that he's a member of the Worker's World Party. Blech. Bet the vets could have spotted that just looking at him!! LOL. They're my kind of people. It will be a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Aquamarine, I'll try to do something along the lines you suggested for a write-up.
