WOW! Nice (and colorful) collection of signs for Saturday.

We're working hard on the DC end to make this rally a big success, and look forward to seeing you and your signs on Saturday. I'll have my camera ready!

[tgslTakoma]

I'm in, Missy!

[tgslTakoma]

Fantastic BillF !! While I was working today, you guys have been busy. Now I gotta get into gear around here and hit some more emails to non-hostile radio stations.

I will be going to MCI Center with FTH on Thursday evening, and have another DC rally assignment tentatively set for Wednesday afternoon with a Loosianna friend.

[tgslTakoma]

Though far away, we're with ya, devildog!

[tgslTakoma]

GREAT!! Let's keep rockin' and rollin, guys! March is surely gonna roar in like a lion from DC to the left coast! FReepers are rallying everywhere, organizing their own rallies and joining rallies organized by others! I love it!

[tgslTakoma]

We'll miss you, Fred. But don't let it stop you from finding a rally (or making your own one-man rally) in your neck of the woods.

You know, if you stand out on a busy streetcorner with a "Honk if you support our troops and President Bush" sign, you will quickly be joined by others. And I for one will be anxious to read your after-action report.

Just got back from handing out flyers after the hockey game at the MCI Center. The most common reaction to a 'support our troops' rally was shock--pleased, but shocked.

Even though we misjudged when the game would let out, we still handed out about one hundred flyers. Time allowing, I think we'll hit every game this week.

[kristinn]

Great job guys! Things are loooking good for Saturday.

[Doctor Raoul]

Good work. North's audience has a lot of vets.

[tgslTakoma]

Tonight I heard the song you were talking about. It's sung by Darryl Worley, and is titled "Have they forgotten?"

I went looking for the CD tonight; no luck.

[Doctor Raoul]

Thanks.

One hell of a powerfull song. Had me near tears driving to DC Saturday.

[Angelwood]

I hope you can find the CD for that song in time for the rally. We need lots of patriotic music.

[Angelwood]

We have a B I G stage and will need lots of flags on stands to place behind the speaker's podium. If anyone coming to the Patriots Rally in DC has a flag they can bring, we would appreciate it.

[3D-JOY]

Thanks for all the experience I have gained from each of you.

Clear Channel Communications has been convinced to sponsor a rally here in Melbourne Florida this Saturday. Emails to the Women's Republican Club and County Chairman of the Republican Party have been forwarded to all members. Patrick Air Force Base has notices up and street signs are being painted. I have recruited some "Letters to the Editor".

The free Radio publicity is almost hourly! WMMBAM.com has details posted and will be updating.

I am planning a sign-in table for Freepers and have a growing "ping" list. I will plan for a local buffet restaurant to give us their private room after the rally. I hope LukeFreeman will post the after action report and I will be waiting for your usual great report too.

Any suggestions?
What have I forgotten?

[kristinn]

That's great news! Wish I could be there, LOL!

[3D-JOY]

I wanted to be with you!! Couldn't do it, so had to start pushing for a Rally here too! Response has been great...now if they just attend!

I am getting a greater respect for all the signs you have made and saved for future use!

I found some homeschoolers to help with that too.

[tgslTakoma]

Any suggestions?
What have I forgotten?

Um, to come up to DC and do the same thing here?

Just kidding, 3D-JOY. My goodness, when you get an idea you really run with it! Can you bottle some of your excess energy and send it up to me, please?

BTW, congratulations! It sounds like you're ready for Saturday down there. Fantastic!

[kristinn]

It looks like you've got everything covered. I'm sure you'll have a great turnout.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Will be good to see you again. Hope your main squeeze can make it.
