Fifty thousand in LA! I would be impressed with two thousand! Great work, LA Freepers. You made my day! Time for the silent, ignored majority to stand up and be noticed.

Salute to you and all patriots in attendance!

Great job!

Today's rally was a great success and ai think the key was joining up with other organizations in the area to combine forces and make an impact. This just can't be stated enough!
Great Job!

Along with about 15,000 bikers, this FReeper finished the bike tour portion of the LA Marathon in 87 minutes on 4 wheel inline skates. There were about 10 skaters and only 2 on 4 wheel skates. The 23+ mile course had a lot more hills this year and it was quite a bit windier than last year as well. Sorry I missed the rally, but as you might imagine, I was a little spent with the conditions and the 6am start.

Is it OK for me to be insanely jealous if I'm still happy for them? Sigh. I can't even IMAGINE being with 50,000 conservatives together. That's so wonderful.

I'll be watching for you on the news tonight.
Perhaps if we all make it seem cool again, like the week after 9-11, to be a patriot, the media will catch on. Of course, you know, we'll have to work hard at keeping it sensational.

On Saturday, March 1, 2003. It was a gorgeous day! The sun was out, no clouds anywhere and temperatures reached the mid 50's. A great day to hold a pro-military rally for our troops. Two were held in Seattle. I happened to go by the one that was held at Husky Stadium where, according to a liberal radio station, the University of Washington Republicans were going to stage a rally for our troops, and that the number in the UW Republicans was around 800, and that they expected a HUGE crowd to show up in support of our troops. Well, I passed by Husky Stadium when the peak of rally participants should have been at it's peak only to find that there were only 8-12 demonstrators for our troops there. I was so disappointed. I guess seattle has become more liberal than I thought. Even the UW republicans didn't bother to show up en masse, only a handful. Bellevue, a city just across the lake from seattle had a larger gathering than seattle, and it's much smaller in population than seattle, although they do have more conservatives.
The other pro-troop rally in downtown seattle had even less people from what I heard. There was no news coverage either on the news that I saw. If anybody in seattle knows the actual numbers, please let me and FR know. I may have passed by to early or too late.
My city didn't hold one at all!! Maybe I should go out there in Seattle and hold up a French (white) flag with the words, Seattle gives up to Saddam Hussein on it to see what kind of reaction I get. I will probably get a lot of approving honks by drivers as they pass by. I feel so ashamed of my state I feel like moving out.

Congrats from Northern Calif!!!
The 'Support R Troops' theme will stifle the 'No Blood for Oil' propaganda as it well should. You stated it well-the key was organization and getting other groups involved.
Don't let up-the media will be forced to cover it as the movement has a power unto itself. It is spreading across the U.S and overseas as well. Don't stop now!
How about a NATIONAL DAY OF SUPPORT for our TROOPS? That would be the ultimate Rally Round the Flag!
