    A guy next to me at the rally yesterday took pictures and put them on his website. I'll put a few here but for the rest go to: http://www.pridemarkservices.com You will see a support our troops button at the bottom. Email this guy and see if we can get him to join Free Republic! SirChas Note that we were all standing on the same side of the street, so you can't see the complete crowd in most of the pics. There were at least 400 people there. Somebody let MadIvan know we didn't forget him!!! A good one with Pikes...

    We had a fantastic showing today at Memorial park in Colorado Springs. At least 400 people with flags and posters lined the street at the Park while drivers passed by blowing horns. There was plenty of spirit with no problems like the anti-type had. In fact there was only about 4 policemen there. I talked to one and he said they didn't expect any problems from us. He was right. This rally was organized by a 16 year old! Makes me glad to know that our future leaders might be OK after all. With all the military in this area,...

The Rally was also sponsored by the group Militarymoms.net, a fine group that has created a website with a list of suggestions for things to send to the troops.

    All right FReepers, this is the story of the Bluesage and Dogrobber and the “Idea.” The idea began when Bluesage thought to herself; “Hmmmm, self (thought she), why is it that the peaceniks have cool things like yard signs and we do not.” Active little thinker that she is, her nimble brain continued; “These yahoos sure aren’t any smarter than we and, in fact, appear to be a whole lot denser than the local red clay.” Our local peaceniks have these foul little yard signs that annoy the crap out of most of the rest us here in Central Missouri...

  • Support Brittain

    03/13/2003 3:36:24 PM PST · by Violette · 29 replies · 198+ views
    I've been thinking about the way that America has been responding to France. I can admit that I have been increasingly frustrated by their lack of support and can fully support the method in which others are dealing with this situation. But I can't help but think about how little we have done as a people to support Brittain's position. I recently read an article that Tony Blair is receiving support from only 19% of his country. I am of the opinion that we need to equal our support for Brittain to our disdain for France. How can we do...

    UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States appeared to be moving closer on Wednesday to a U.N. Security Council majority for a resolution authorizing war against Iraq (news - web sites), as Britain proposed confronting President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) with a set of tough new demands to avoid a military onslaught. A senior U.S. official said the United States had positive responses from three African members of the Security Council -- Angola, Cameroon and Guinea -- which had previously been uncommitted. "We're assured by what we heard from them," said the official, who asked not to be...

    Senators propose resolution supporting removal of Hussein; Assembly can't vote on it (Published Tuesday, March 11, 2003 08:32:55 AM CST) Associated Press MADISON, Wis. -- Two state senators proposed a resolution Monday that would show the Legislature's support of removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq if approved by both houses. But Assembly rules prohibit the body from voting on such resolutions. Joint resolutions like the one proposed by Sens. Bob Welch, R-Redgranite, and Dave Zien, R-Eau Claire, are common in the Legislature and can touch on a variety of topics, from honoring someone to urging the federal government to...
