I'm sticking with what the officer told me "5000 Pro USA in Federal Plaza today!"

The liberal media can bite me.

[Dengar01]

turn on fox 32 they're covering us in a few minutes.

[Dengar01]

here we go on fox 32

[Dengar01]

Same coverage we saw before. Typical showing our numbers BEFORE the rally. No pictures of the thousands as seen in my pictures and GRRRRR's.

[GRRRRR]

A pretty decent report from Fox32--they gave MORE time to the ANTI's...and they didn't show our podium, er, soap box! LOL...

Still waiting on KevHead for our PICS!!

[Mr_Magoo]

very dissapointed with that fox 32 report.

I'm south of Chicago, one station reported only 800 at the Chicago rally!! WE need to start emailing all the TV stations to stop showing so much of the protesters, I saw way more of them today than the support rallies!! I had to turn the channel, could not look at those unemployed losers anymore.

[blondee123]

I wanted to be there so bad, got DH to agree if there is another one, he is taking off work to drive me to it!! You all did soooo good! Too bad we didn't think about contacting Harley groups, I know several around my area & that would surely discourage the "antis" from messing with us!! Next time we contact all the Harley groups, they'll be there.

Can't see your pictures - the bandwidth limit on that site is exceeded. Post here if possible.

My own comments on the rally I put in the thread meant to announce it, right afterward. The hogs were great. I was also particularly struck by the Iraqi-Americans who showed up. They made a great point just by being there. I wish the media would cover that.

[Dengar01]

Yeah I have no idea what happened to my site I guess too many people viewed it and my site crashed. I really need to figure out how to get my site soley out of my domain. Actually I have no idea what I'm doing but I can tell you angelfire sucks.

Just want to say thanks for the pictures. I have the flag-waving group for my wallpaper right now. I have let these anti-war protestors get me so depressed, that sometimes I feel so much hate that I am ashamed of my feelings. I haven't been posting for a long time as my husband has been real sick for the last year. Had kidney failure and is now on dialysis. However, when I get really down I go to you guys and gals to help pep me up. You are my kind of people. I may not always post but I am always lurking and enjoying the conversations and great pictures. Thanks for being friends I have never met.

[GRRRRR]

We spoke today for ALL OF US! Prayers to you and your family...Hugs,

GRRRRR

[Dengar01]

If anyone has any info about websites bandwidth ect that would help I'm trying to figure out how I upgrade bandwidth so people can view my site without it crashing.

This was my "report" from the other "live" thread, posted around 5:15pm:

Missed seeing you there. Today's circumstances dictated that I could only be there for the last hour, but I loved every minute of it. Loved the fact that we outnumbered the COMMIE Anti-American demonstrator idiots 3 to 1. WOO HOO!!!!!!! I think the cops were grateful that we were the peaceful ones. Did you all notice that the RIOT POLICE were all located on the south side of the Federal Plaza?!!!

Just heard Andy quoted on WLS-AM - the 50,000 watt blower!!!!!! WAY TO GO, ANDY!!!!!!!!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

WLS-AM had the numbers more correctly - in the 2500+ range, for sure.

[unspun]

Well bless your dear heart, jaycee. Prayers for your husband. (Keep forgiving - or in streettalk, don't let the b%*$&%$s get you down.)

[RedWing9]

one station reported only 800 at the Chicago rally!!

Yeah... right... THIS (2.1mb)is 800 people, my royal white pimply...

[unspun]

WLS-AM had the numbers more correctly - in the 2500+ range, for sure.
Agree... at least including all who drove by and smiled, any way.

[GRRRRR]

As promised, MORE pictures from today---Much THANKS to KevHead for putting these on his site for us to link... HERE

Hugs to ALL, GRRRRR

[Dengar01]

My site was working when I manually typed in www.dengar01.com. So try that there is a link to the pictures if that doesn't work then I will change webservers tomorrow.
