We freeped Elizabeth Edwards Today !!
Elizabeth Edwards came to Grand Junction, CO this afternoon. We didn't know about it until 2:00 pm ( we don't take the local paper) when I saw it on FR.
We closed up the office, and sprang into action. We drove up to the campus of Mesa State College, where she was speaking, and located some fellow Republicans, already standing on the corner.
It rained, and hailed, for about 20 minutes, which is why our signs look kind of soggy.
We had lots of honking, and thumbs up, from drivers-by; and a few flippers.
Later, we walked down to the street near the auditorium, and freeped as the crowd came out. They were mostly OLD people...my nephew calls them "Commie grannies"...
Two highlights: an old old lady, walking by; peered intently at our signs, and then told us she prayed for George Bush every day !!; two young college guys, driving by, hopped out with homemade signs on notebook paper, and joined us.
We were interviewed by the local TV news; and local paper. They especially liked Fire-Breathing Freeper's sign that said, " Hey Edwards, Channel This; Bush-Cheney ".(see photo 3 I think ).
Here are our photos:
Just in case you didn't know, VP Cheney is going to be in GJ on Saturday- you can pick up tickets at the Republican HQ on Main St.
Great pics. Thanks for standing out in the hail and rain and freepin!
My bad ^_^
