We've barely had any public support from Free Republic or elsewhere in over two years, and we can live without yours. My public comments stand. If I had known folks on our side were going to make an impossible task all the harder, I wouldn't have taken on the burden of our battle.
Oh, BTW, it would take a whole lot more and a do mean a whole lot more, than the little criticism I posted on this thread and one private disagreement to turn on anyone. If you withdraw your support that easily you weren't a true friend or supporter in the first place. Or perhaps you don't believe in free speech? Fortunately, we shall continue in our efforts for justice at great personal cost, so that we may ALL enjoy the FREEDOM of speech protected by the first amendment which includes YOUR right to protest.
Terri-I drove to this rally from Indy. I would not have cared it only 10 good patriots had shown up-well, maybe I would have cared, but I would not have regretted going! Besides, I saw the CSPAN camera, and knew the coverage-the comments made by the speakers (which were extraordinary-gripping and truthful) -would be broadcast out to the homes in our nation. When I learned today that 10,000 had attended a rally in Cleveland, a pro-America rally advertised by a radio talk host, and the major nets did not pick it up, I felt doubly glad that CSPAN was at the DC Chapter rally. What if we had had 10,000-and none of the nets, including CSPAN had filmed it? Bummer. Thank GOD for the good people in the DC Chapter.
Hopefully more than we will ever know tuned in-or will tune in for the the future reruns.
I saw first hand how hard the DC Freepers worked to make this a success, they worked REALLY hard. The weather could not have been worse-well maybe colder-but snow and slush is always cold-and it soaks into the best of boots after awhile. Those who came in tennis shoes did not last long standing in four inch deep snow. The crowd was ever changing-and CSPAN only panned one half of the folks there, the cameraman did a 180 turn from the stage to his left, only panning a half turn and then back along the same path. Regardless-Terri-it was a wonderful gathering.
And as I understand it-each rally is gaining in attendance. So the next one will be even better!
Terri-I looked for you. I am out of the loop on what is going on with you and your brother. Please FReepmail me an update. I am behind you forever!
You and Kristinn and the Doc and myself stood for Elian-long hours-at Rosedale (was that the name?)- where they kept Elian and his father captive (away from Americans like you and me not to mention congressmen and senators) while reno and doris meissner and joan campbell and clinton and gregg craig kissed Castro's fatuous commie butt. I love ya for that girl-we made more than a few guards uncomfortable. As I remember it-they came out and matched us one for one (along with the other protestors there) as Elian caravan pulled up! What a day that was!
Methinks you cry crocodile tears.
Who owes you a living?
