Great write up Dog. My granddaughter and her boy friend showed up and helped with the signs and flags. Shane held the candle raised high. I was so proud of the people assembled there tonight.

This rally was announced as a support our troops rally so I thought it was totally out of place for the leftists to come out with their anti American bs. I heard several comments directed to them indicating they should be ashamed to bring the war protest signs to a "support our troops" rally.

Dogrobber was given the mike to let us know about the yard signs and was cheered loud and long, so I think real Americans want something to show their support and to counter the peacenik/hippie signs that are so prevelant in Columbia. Thanks to Dog and Blue for all of the work getting the yard sign program off the ground. Thank you from a vet.

Lake of the Ozarks bump !

Thanks for the bump. Noticing the conservative, pro America, pro President Bush, religious, pro troops signs, we put the word out about FR using the business cards but I ran out waaaaay too soon. I was so honored to be in the middle of such a wonderful group of people that I forgot about the snow, cold and very slick walks in the Courthouse mall area.

It was fantastic being around so many REAL AMERICANS.

Thanks 93.9 Eagle

EXCELLENT!! Glad to hear there was such a good turnout for the rally!! And I LOVE the new yard sign! It's a beautiful design.

I finally get to join in the fun of a rally tomorrow evening. There's one in Nashville and I've talked my hubby into going. Just got to finish my signs. I've had too many ideas and had to settle on four. *giggle* I'm looking forward getting out there to show support for our troops and country.

My wife and I were there, braving 40 miles of slick roads, to attend. A small sacrifice compared to those who have and will lay their life on the line for America! My wife, who is finally coming aboard to support our cause carried her "We Support The American Troops". (She shocked my son a few weeks back when she was yelling at the peacenicks from the car one day) haha. My sign said "We support Democracy, Not Dictatorships." I was rather surprised at the handful of peacenicks in attendance. And allowing their leader to speak? OMG!!! Well some of his utopian views were jeered as they should be. And I was not shocked that there was virtually no TV news coverage, although there was one tv camera there, we didn't know what station it represented.

I was hoping to meet some of the FReepers. We have saved our signs and hope to join Columbia's "Operation Infinite FReep" now that my wife is on board! Please let me know when our next occasion to counter the peacenicks will be.
We need to build on this success and grow our numbers!

Oh and btw, The Eagle93.9 might be putting a similar Pro American event in Jeff City very soon. Lets Roll!

Please let me know when our next occasion to counter the peacenicks will be.

Thanks for being there. We had at least 10 FReepers (or their family members) there last night.

Come join us every Saturday morning at 10 AM across the street from the Post Office (Walnut - 2 blocks from the Court House). We counter protest the hippie/peacenik leftists who stand on the grass in front of the PO.

This invitation is extended to all real Americans. We are there from 10 to 11 AM and Dog and Blue have great signs and ideas for signs so come on over and lend your hands and minds.

I was listening to 93.9 this morning and loved the pro America callers and was on a high, then..... a caller wondered why the TV ran ONLY INTERVIEWS WITH LEFTIST PEACENIKS (they had a dozen or so and we had almost 400). It really brought me down to know that real Americans support our troops, our Country and FReedom but the media still hates them. (This is the same TV station that would not allow patriotic colors, flags, or any emblem to be worn or shown by on air personnel on Sept 11 and after.) Sorry to ramble but am really ticked.

The announcer did mention that they were considering a rally in Jefferson City soon. I hope they do it - they have a sister AM station here.

Dogrobber, I was overjoyed to hear the reception you got concerning the yard signs. It was spontaneous, loud and long. Thanks for the effort.

Thanks for the info. I had been told the peacenicks have a big rally on Wednesdays so I wanted to make sure the Sat morning thing hadn't changed. Count us in!

Thank you from another vet, the signs are great. I thought it was out of place also for the peaceniks to be there, for some reason I knew they would be but I had hoped they would be respectful of us as we are for them. I should have known better. I watched two newscasts and of course most of the report from both channels were on the peaceniks in the crowd and one even said they were being harrassed by the pro-America crowd which I did not see happening. It was a great event nevertheless, even though one of my co-workers is getting a little grief from other co-workers for attending, it shows how ignorant they can be, they can live here and enjoy the rights and privelages, but actually supporting their country is a different story.

I contacted 93.9 the eagle at jasong@zrgmail.com and thanked them for sponsoring the rally. I think we should all let them know how much we appreciated their efforts.
