The very percentage of the Yes vs. No participants projects a pretty strong message. Michael said he's going to send the result of this poll to the White House.

Hubby and I listened to the 10:00 news. Channel 8 gave us favorable coverage. Then we turned to Channel 6 and discovered them in the middle of a good report. Afterward, we switched to Channel 2 and saw about a half a second of rally coverage so I have no idea what they said, but at least we know the rally was mentioned by the three main Tulsa stations.

Neither my husband nor I saw your sons. We were so busy trying to keep our two-year-old grandson from climbing all over the bleachers (and making lots of new acquaintances in the process) that between him and the rally, our attention was pretty well taken up.

My husband was one of the few veterans who stood up in our immediate area. We were taking turns holding up a large flag.

There was a family behind us with several children including a little boy about my grandson's age and a young couple sitting in front of us with an older woman in a black coat.

That's about all I can remember as far as the people in our immediate vicinity is concerned.

My husband, daughter, and two-year-old grandson went with me to the rally today. We were sitting on the north side of the "home" bleachers.

There are a few more pictures of the rally here:

Here's a few pictures from the Tulsa rally.

The "home" bleachers were packed from one end to the other. I don't think the planners anticipated so many people because the stage was set up to face the home bleachers, but soon the "visitor" bleachers behind them began to fill up. They were probably 1/2 to 3/4's full and were a rowdy bunch making almost as much noise as the "home" people did. :o)

Michael DelGiorno announced that there were about 3000.

The 12 or 13 anti-war protestors down at the corner must have given up and gone home before the rally was over because I never saw them as we were leaving.

Did you notice the big rig trucker driving up and down the road beside the stadium with his American flag flying?

All the nearby parking lots were filled so people were having to walk several blocks to get to the spot.

My two-year-old grandson was in awe of all the planes flying over.

Considering that KFAQ is a relatively new station in the Tulsa area, they did pretty good on short notice getting quite a crowd together.

This is one of many rallies started because of Glen Beck. He began promoting these rallies because he was so disgusted with the noise the anti-war crowd was making. His initial inspiration came from KLIF in Dallas, a sister station, who was doing a pro America, support-our-troops rally.

Americans want to do something to encourage our president and the troops. This gives us an outlet by which we can show a little of our gratitude.

Wherever he is, you can bet he's planning feverishly for our demise and that goal is second only to securing his own safety.

You have mail.

:o)

The report says "killing" rather than "murdering" which sounds much better.

Serving ten years for murdering the man who was trying to rape her...

What misery.

Very interesting find.

"He clearly said that with sarcasm, at least it sounded that way to me. Like he was mocking that suggestion."

I thought so as well. Tony Snow even smiled at the comment. I definitely think it was a "tongue-in-cheek" comment.
