Sign advertising the rally.


Curtis Sliwa founder and president of the Guardian Angels holding my sign, a big FreeRepublic booster on his radio show on WABC NY. Notice the website name on the sign.


FReeper Clemenza holds a sign that got lots of raves at the rally.


Somewhere in that sea of humanity is FReeper Nitro and whoever else from FR attended.









Curtis Sliwa gets the crowd all excited. He gave a damm good speech. Better than the cardboard politicians there.


A HUGE flag is unfurled at the rally


other half of the flag


Following the rally Clemenza and Cacique follow an old FReeper tradition and visit a local diner called Tiffany's.


On a visit to Model's we find a classic Sadam Hussein T-shirt for sale.

The rally featured over 1,000 people at the park near the Verazzano Bridge and also near Fort Hamilton, Headquarters of the US Army corps of Engineers and still housing several units of the national guard.

The rally was organized by Congressman Vito Fossela(R). Also there were the state assemblyman Mathew Mirones, State Senator Marty Golden and City Councilman James Oddo. Also there where Dim's Vincent Gentile the new councilman of the area who will be replaced in November by a Republican (if I have anything to do with it) and State assemblyman Joseph Abate the Dim from Bensonhurst.

Well over 1,000 people attended. I estimate around 1,500. Not bad for Brooklyn considering the fact it was not that well publicized except on WABC radio.

Clemenza and I did our duty and provided the FreeRepublic precense. Nitro was supposed to be at the rally as well as several others who may have appeared without announcing themselves.

Thank You for the great report and awesome pictures. After your rally, Curtis greeted us in Bethpage. I was fortunate to meet him and he autographed my sign. Bethpage rally was wonderful, lots of cheering patriots there.
