I still would like to know what time the rally starts.

Here's all the relevant information from Glenn Becks Restoring Honor site. It says 10 am to 1 pm, 8/28/10.

My husband and I were planning to be there, but had to cancel our hotel and back out for medical reasons last week.

I’ll have this site and fox news on all day tomorrow and my prayers and thought are with you all. I so wish we could be there!

RE: “remember the Tea Party Express rally in Searchlight (with Sarah) they hired people to do aerial photography....wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve got this covered in DC tomorrow also”

***************

I sure HOPE they have this aerial photography issue covered for tomorrow. Otherwise we will see tight shots of small groups near the stage and that will be IT.

The mall is pretty much a no fly zone for private aircraft.

I have a feeling that Glenn will have a photographer take some pictures from that same vantage point tomorrow.

During the 9/12 rally last year there was one aircraft flying over the mall, and it was Marine One.

Yeap, Obama, did a fly over to check us out.

I bet he could hear us even from up there.

RE: “BE AWARE that yesterday GOOGLE Maps was giving the WRONG information on the location of the Lincoln Memorial. They were showing the FDR memorial instead. I reported it as a problem. I think Map Quest is OK.”

OR, look it up the old fashioned way, in an Atlas or Wash., D.C., area map. Guaranteed to be accurate — no funny stuff — good old printed maps!

The Park Service used to estimate crowds for various gatherings, demonstrations, ect. They quit doing that. I am not a big fan of the Park Service, but they got it from both sides when they gave out the numbers.

The spin will begin as soon as the first folks show up before dawn. All the local stations will have some junior reporter standing in the middle of Constitution Ave. spouting nonsense. It always happens. My advice to folkd from out of town is to ignore the TV people.

“The enemy is devious”

The enemy is on the offensive, against the people who support this event in person or in heart.

The media guys are CHEERLEADERS, not leaders. Remember that. They are mouths, not hands or feet. WE are the body and we are being attacked. The body has to move, the body has to vote, the body has to raise a ruckus. When you reach for the pen, the phone, the keyboard, you can act in defense in addition to walking the streets of DC.

Also, pray for the unity of God’s people on those streets, whether at Beck’s site or others. It may be a good day for a Friday sunset fast for unity and praise and glory to God.

Re: “Good observation, I think you are probably correct on this, Rush would have to say that the Rally is a good thing, I think these guys are very competitive, it’s a shame they all just can’t be happy for the country ...”

*******************

Since O’Reilly tours with Beck and they seem to get along, ya think BOR might stop in? Not that that’s any thrill, but he has a huge TV audience and is better than nothing. And isn’t Palin supposed to be there? She’s as big a draw as Beck.

Palin is the main speaker yes, but she’s not going to talk about politics, but rather war heroes and alike, should be good stuff.

“YES! Try to avoid and also hide the LaRouche people...”

Good point. Note: The LaRouche people set up shop outside the metro stations. Don't accept their handouts. They will talk to you and if you engage them they can get very belligerent. They mostly hire college age people. When someone tries to hand you something, politely decline unless you know and are able to spot the group quickly.

I’m sure of it!

The media can deny facts all they want, it’s what they do, after all. ;>)

Re: “So disappointed I missed this trip. Plz keep updating.”

****************

Me, too, but I’m in L.A. and just could not get to D.C.

But... I will be a one person ‘rally’ Sat. when going about my business — “Don’t Tread on Me” sticker and American flag on car, will WEAR my Don’t Tread on Me tee-shirt everywhere I go, etc.

Believe me, in this disgusting leftist city, I get noticed with this stuff. The funny thing is I’m starting to see a few more like-minded people in cars bearing similar stickers. Love it!

Don’t fear “The Weeper”. Oh, I think Obama & Co. are scared. Thanks for your contribution. I can’t wait to hear what the total is.
