Just got back from a Support our President/Support our Troops rally in Ventura (Southern California). About 75 of us showed up. Tremendous response from drivers - lots of passionate honking and thumbs up. Organizer said he couldn't get any interest from the press because it wasn't a "pro-peace" rally. A photographer from the local newspaper did show up so I am hopefully it will go into tomorrows paper. All in all, a very positive experience! There are lots of us out there!!!

No, dang it - I didn't think to bring my digital camera. What was really cool was that our horn-honking supporters cut across every social/economic/ethnic/racial/age/gender/looks line. It was really a universal support and quite heartwarming.

Kudos to all of you in Ventura who supported the troops and President Bush today. Thanks for reporting back so your rally can be added to the master list and inspire others to get out and do the same. FReep On!

Press was only interested in the pro-Saddam rallies? That isn't journalism. That's pure propaganda.

Thank you, RR, for being there for your fellow patriots. The press is on its way to becoming irrelevent.

Great work. No counter protest from the hippie punks in the area?

Evidently there is a regular Pro-Bush/Pro-Troops rally at the Ventura Government center on Sundays at 11:30. A husband and wife started it with just 2 people two weeks ago. Now there are 10. I hope to go next Sunday and will let you know. They said they couldn't get any interest from the press either.
