Mrs. Smooth files this comment about Diana Irey and the SST rally:

DIANA GOES TO WASHINGTON

On Saturday Sept. 23rd Diana Irey had been invited to attend two important functions.

Vice President Dick Cheney was to be at a Republican invitation only affair at the home of a friend in Venetia,PA. All the big wigs were there. Rick Santorum, all the money folks.

The Support The Troops Rally was being held in at the Sylvan Theater, on The Mall near the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C.

DIANA WENT TO WASHINGTON

She went to the Support The Troops Rally to continue to demonstrate the importance of our mission in fighting and winning the war against terrorism.

She went to say we are there with our troops, to the end, not to cut and run, but to stand with the troops and their mission.

She was in good company.

Diana chose our troops over politics-she chose the people of the 12th District that she will soon represent, not a photo-op with VP Cheney.She chose the troops and she chose us.

We have a choice to make as well, I choose Diana Irey.

"Zelig" and I were honored to participate in the Support the Troops and Their Mission rally (and dinner afterward) in Washington DC this past Saturday. It was a thrill to see Jim Robinson (and Syncro!) again as well, all the way from California. Kristinn, tgslTakoma and the DC Chapter did an amazing job in pulling together this event, and several other events during the weekend that we unfortunately could not attend.

Speakers at the rally on Saturday were Diana Irey, who is running for Congress in PA against John "Cut 'n Run" Murtha, FR's own Trueblackman and a hilarious and patriotic comedian named Evan Sayet. Most moving were speeches by Gold Star and Blue Star family members. Kristinn concluded the rally with a very beautiful and solemn tribute to soldiers who have lost their lives in the course of duty.
