“For those who went, would you please write a little bit on the people you might have run into or a conversation you had about what people did this weekend?”

Let's see. I met a family from Kansas that drove down to help with the food drive. It was quite successful and they filled 11 semi trucks with food to be sent to food pantries in 11 different cities. They were very pumped and said it was the largest food drive they had seen. They were Baptists and young. They had three cute girls all under 12 years of age. They got a book signed by Sarah Palin and showed it to me.

I met another couple from Saint Louis that had come down to help repair churches in the area. They had worked in 100 plus degree heat and were a bit toasted and sunburned. They were Methodists. They did not want to leave and were kind of hanging around after the event on Saturday ended. They were complaining the organizers sold out of tee shirts as they wanted to take some back for friends.

I also met a large Marine that was from Dallas and attending alone. He was a Glenn Beck fan and a Tea Party guy. He had been to a Tea Party at Dallas City Hall a while back and had good things to say about it. He loved it when they played the Battle Hymn of the Republic. I am glad he is on our side. His arms were bigger than my legs.

I found it interesting at the Cowboy Stadium Event last night they patted down every attendee going in, but they were not looking for guns or knives (I am 100% sure of that!). All the pat down people were citizen volunteers. The type of pat down they were doing made me believe they were looking for explosive vests worn under clothing.

There were also some private movie showings at a venue in Hurst, Texas, but I don't know much about that. There was a large event at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, but I missed that.
