PICTURES! Orange County Young Republicans "Support Our Troops" rally at South Coast Plaza (2/8/03)

Great Job! You are the bees knees!
Thanks, but the Orange County Young Republicans (and the folks from FIT-AIM-ACT) deserve MOST of the credit for insuring that this important rally was HUGELY successful. (I just helped to promote THEIR efforts.)

Here is ANOTHER great idea that perhaps we can promote, from:

The time has come to put words into action. STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. No more "silent majority" status for conservatives, let alone Freepers. BE PASSIONATE! PARTICIPATE in local rallies. CALL IN to local radio stations and mention our rallies and activism. There is no better time than NOW to start.

TAKE NOTICE: S.F. Bay Area Overpass Rally , Lafayette, CA.

WHERE: Hwy 24 @ 680. Exit Pleasant Hill Rd. off of Hwy 24. Take Old Tunnel Rd. to top of El Curtola Bridge.

Lafayette Flag Brigade - Blue Star Moms
"NEVEREVERFORGET911.COM"

The Blue Star Moms is a support group in the Tri-Valley area
(Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, California)
of mostly women who have come together to share worries, pride, and devotion to sons, daughters and husbands
who are serving in the United States Armed Forces.

Representatives of Blue Star Moms are present
along with the Lafayette Flag Brigade on the 11th of each month to participate in the flag display, and to promote "Operation Postcard", which sends cards of encouragement to US services personnel around the world.

Why not join us on the 11th to wave a flag and send a postcard.

Be Well - Be Armed - Be Safe - Molon Labe!

Outstanding! Great signs!

Good job Orange County Young Repubs from the Bay Area FReeper Chapter!

I noticed that too. There were just as many homeless when B.Clinton was in there, maybe more. It seemed in our town to be true. They even had some homeless people hanging out in our public library downtown. Most were harmless, and the people working there were not bothered by them. Some would even offer to help carry things, to feel useful.

It was really sad. There were people out with signs saying: "Will work for food", and such. So homelessness didn't go down in the Clinton Administration, at least not around here in Ogden, UT!

I've seen some fire trucks in Ogden City, that have big, beautiful, American flags on them. The effect is really impressive; when they are coming down the street on an emergency call! The flag is waving in the air while the truck is moving. I've seen a number of police cars that have them too.
