Julie,
I'm cutting and pasting here - not real sure how these message boards work - I'm hoping you get this.

I will have photos soon. Wish I could post video on the web somehow. Got a LOT of it. I am very thankful that Glenn started the Rally for America rallies.

I am also very thankful that he's got a national voice now.
The husby and I were fortunate to get to drive him and his wife and producer and HIS wife home to Brandon from our local Republican Lincoln Day Dinner last year in Bradenton. It was a GREAT hour of one on one in the SUV and we learned that he's really a very shy guy. Or at least he was then. It was his first speech that night. He has come a LONG way since then. I thought that was a great speech that couldn't be topped. I was wrong. He out did himself Saturday. I am so glad we were able to attend. I would not have missed it for the world.

I had a TALL sign (like yours) that had big photos of the WTC burning with the words THEY STARTED THE WAR on one side and HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN on the other. A woman approached me with a picture of her son who died in that tragedy. She pointed to the floor he was on and cried "there was no way out for him and no trace was ever found of him". I felt so badly for her.
My husband also had a TALL sign that read

SIDE ONE) PEACENIKS, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN CLINTON WAS BOMBING THE ASPIRIN FACTORY?
SIDE TWO) OH YEAH, HIS WAR WAS LEGIT, HE NEEDED A MEDIA DIVERSION FOR HIS LEWINSKY DEPOSITION
that he kept turning around and around every 30 or so seconds.

My husband stood the entire rally in the back, in front of the "peace rioters". Nothing peaceful about them.
They were TICKED about his sign and made several threats against him until some veterans threatened to (*%@*%) them.
It was a great day.
Cant wait to get my pics back

Welcome aboard, Linda......glad you are finally a FREEPER!
Always knew you were one at heart!

But beware...FREEPing is addictive but it is a positive addiction! Freepers are the best buddies you could ever want & they can find answers & information in a NY minute.

Our weekly Sunday Venice Rally was a great success today....micro-sized compared to Clearwater but just as effective in its own special way....here's the report I sent to my email list. I'll have pictures & post a report tomorrow.

Dear Patriots:

Thank you for standing with us at 41 Bypass & Venice Ave. today!

This was the largest turnout so far!
At the peak time, we had between 7 & 10 Patriots on each corner!

BRAVO for coming out to demonstrate your support for our troops and for America.

The car horns, cheers, thumbs up & smiles demonstrated just how happy the many passing motorists were to see us.

We were visited by SNN 6 TV & a Sarasota Herald Tribune reporter.
If anyone sees coverage in press or on TV; please let me know.

This was a successful Rally as we were still getting 'honks' as we furled Old Glory and were heading for our cars.

We will be out on the four corners again next Sunday at 1 PM - 2:30PM.

Please encourage your friends & neighbors to join us next time and remember to:

Wear a yellow ribbon
And tie one on a tree
In support of the troops
Who insure our liberty!

Hint:
LTM Party Store near Linen & Things across from Sarasota Square Mall has bright yellow plastic tablecloths that can be cut into strips to make bows & streamers for your mailboxes & car antennas!

God Bless Our Troops
God Bless America

Julie
