    Found out about this rally the middle of last week by an announcement posted by guinnessboy. Then I mass e-mailed some local New Hampshire patriots and we managed to get six people to head down to Medford, MA to rally for America. There was something very enticing to us about attending one of these rallies in the heart of LiberalLand!

    Just got back from the Dallas Pro-America rally. I could only stay for an hour or so, and I live about half a mile away, so I figured I'd get it started. Sorry I don't have a digital camera, but there were lots of cameras there, so I'm sure you'll see plenty of pics later.There was a constant rain and chilly temps, which I was afraid would keep the crowd down, but it didn't. HUGE turnout, including Freepers, moms with strollers, Texas Guardsmen, Kurdish immigrants, you name it. The rain didn't dampen the spirits; I could hear the shouting, cheers,...

    Greetings from Carbondale, Illinois, home of Southern Illinois University. I would like to report an excellent experience today. As expected, there was an anti-war, anti-America protest on the main drag of this university town. Perhaps less expected was the large turnout on the opposite side of the street, literally and figuratively. The patchouli and hippie contingent were their usual drum-banging, bug dancing selves shouting their slogans of "No blood for oil" and "War is the problem, not the answer." On the other side of the street where I stood, USA sign in hand, was a growing crowd of surprising diversity....

    Thank you to all that showed up to show your support today, I was blown away by the turnout! We had a good mix of people out there today. The people driving through loved it! The Anti-war folks didnt care too much for us, funny how we are all smiles and they have dour faces all day long. They look like the living dead don't they? Anyhow this is not the first one and will not be the last, we do this every Saturday, I would like to try a couple more locations at some point. If you folks do...

    Haven't seen it posted, but I was there, so I'll do it. Glenn Beck's Rally For America was held in Auburn today, and the giant hall was overflowing with proud Americans. Sandy Patti sang chilling renditions of the National Anthem and other patriotic songs, while Beck closed with a great tear-inducing speech. G.B. needed 15,000 more to show up at this weekend's 3 rallies to hit a total of 100,000 in the last few weeks. He announced 17,000 were present. Local radio station WOWO estimated 20,000! CNN (which Glenn said on stage "blows") estimated 9,000 on Headline news a few...
