***RFA: RALLY TALLYS!!!!***

Dio's Email | 3/24/03 | diotima

I received an email from someone whose FR name I do not know. So if they want, they can step forward. Here are the rally tallies, please come in and add or correct. I copied this verbatim from my email.

[diotima]

Yes I have asked to have this moved to the right place....sorry sorry...

[rwfromkansas]

Only 1000 showed up in NYC? That is awful.

[OldFriend]

Do you now understand why Hitlery wanted to end the electoral college immediately. New York and California

[Sabertooth]

Yes I have asked to have this moved to the right place....sorry sorry...

Self abuser.

Di, we had about 1,000 people at our rally in Kenner, La. The park was packed by the end of the evening. So, please correct the number.

[diotima]

I don't think its awful. Its very hard to get people out in places where they know they will be confronted with violent freaks having one of their "peace riots."*

Additionally, there is overwhelming support for this war, there is no REAL urgency in going out other than stopping the onslaught of protestor coverage on the media in effort to pretend more people are on their side and not ours.

I can't correct the post content, but tomorrow I will put up another tally that is the most updated. That one will have the changes. Sorry about the mistake, I havent been able to monitor all the threads and someone just sent me the information.

[diotima]

OK, I did it on purpose to lure you here...keeper of the breaking news side bar ;^)

Don't forget the rally spearheaded by the 16 yr. old girl in Duluth, MN:

+3,000 (more like 4,500 from what I heard)

[Air Force Born]

Clarksville TN is actually kind of a small town, very much overshadowed by Ft. Campbell. Still, that is about 1% to 2% of the population, and Nashville is only about 40 miles away.

no its' not awful...and don't speak out unless you were at a rally this weekend.

These rallies are tough to get the word out on. On my way back to Grand Central after leaving the rally yesterday at least three people saw my flag and signed only to ask me "was there a pro-American rally somewhere in the city?" and "was it still going on?" only to hear "damn, if I knew about it I would've attended."

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Oh, and here are about 15 more ...

I agree, and any demonstration of support is preferable to leaving the liberal left unopposed. And, there will be more opportunities in the future.

Correction for the attendance figures for the DC Chapter's Patriots Rally for America V - We all figured we had close to 1000. By AGreatPer's grid count, we had 1200. And that wasn't counting all the folks up on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial who sat and listened, or the folks who stayed for part of the rally and had to leave early.

My photos will be up in the next day or so, and will show what the local media wouldn't show... lots of patriotic Americans who care for and support our troops, our president, and our country.

[abner]

We also don't have groups financially backing us with 200,000K a pop to organize and publicize these things. This is a true "grassroots" effort!

[Wolverine]

Don't forget this one:

Let's hope not...the only reason I say that is we want victory soon. This way we win and the leftists have egg on their face, nevermind sh!t between their ears!!!

Missed San Jose/Santa Clara on 3/23 - about 600 attended - made the papers and several tv stations.

Had a great response from all the people driving, honking their horns and giving the thumbs-up sign...
