That Jerusalem Post story came from the Associated Press wire, so expect to see it in other papers.

Here is the story from the Richmond Times-Dispatch web page:

Thousands Attend 'Rally For America' Mar 23, 2003

Thousands of Virginians crowded onto a sun-kissed field outside Richmond this afternoon, chanting "USA," waving American flags of all sizes and cheering the U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf.

Police estimated 7,000 squeezed onto the grassy field of the Innsbrook Pavilion for the "Rally for America." The Innsbrook Foundation, which manages the property, confirmed that figure. Organizers noted traffic heading to the pavilion on Lake Brook Drive snaked all the way back to Nuckols Road.

Glenn Beck, a syndicated radio host whose talk show is carried locally on WRVA 1140 AM, led the rally in western Henrico County after bringing it to several other cities across America, including Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Cleveland.

Really enjoyed your speech. As you reached the crescendo, everybody in my area (stage right-waaay back) gave a fever-pitched whoop. Next time I see you it will be at St. Johns's.
