Good luck out in DC. I hope it's going well there.

[WillaJohns]

Oh, thank you for this report. Well done Michigan freepers.

The speakers were spewing the usual commie stuff. They complained that the US owned most of the world. They complained about Bill Gates since he was a billionaire. They complained about Israeli's owning more than the Arabs there.

Sounds like some of the babbling libertarians here.

Thanks for the report Dan. I'm still reeling from your April 1st Opus.... Have to admit you got me! was internet impaired for awhile after that ...and it took me awhile to catch on... Glad your still here!

[Bob J]

Dan, who was with you?

[tpaine]

Nope. Sounds like a bumbling VA fedophliac to me.

[HockeyPop]

Dan, its about time you threw your hat into the political ring. You'll have my $$ and I'm 2000 miles away.

[PGalt]

Thanks for the report and the activism.

"When we passed them, we flipped the one finger salute at them. (I know it's the low road, but it works - :))"

LOL, sometimes you have to use their language to get the message through. Great report, thanks for sharing.

I think Dan and I were the only Freepers there. The other six were the YAF and GOP guys like Dan said.

One woman there actually put signs on her dog. One of them said "DOGS AGAINST WAR" and the other was "WAR IS UNHEALTHY FOR DOGS". Some people just ain't right.

Picture from the Capitol:

The sign says "END U.$. GLOBAL OPPRESSION" < /barf >

I apologize for the picture quality. A 640x480 pixel camera can only do so much.

[patton]

Stop it. Just because I believe in freedom, does not imply that I babble.

A picture of the good guys:

These jerks also disrupted a wedding there. There was a wedding at the capitol, and it was disturbed by the communists. When they were leaving, two of the Wedding Attendents gave us the thumbs up, and didn't have nice things to say about the jerks.

What an umbelievably rude and insensitive thing to do! And I'm at a loss of words for the "dogs against war". LOL I guess it goes to show the west coast nuts are no more nuttier than the midwesterners!

Looks like you guys had a great time. May God bless you all!

[Bob J]

Good work Michigan Team!

[jla]

(Just a little levity, Dan!)

[Mark Turbo]

Good work Michigan Team!
May God bless you all!

Thank you. Here's another picture:

The old lady in the middle had "Blessed are the peacemakers" and other sayings written on that white sheet she's wearing. She talked with us after they finished the rally and she said that if someone came to kill her, she'd let them do it. She's probably in her seventies, but you hate to see somebody so lacking in a sense of self-preservation at any age.

We also talked to a guy who claimed to be a Catholic priest, but was neither affiliated with a specific church nor willing to give a straight answer on where he stood on abortion.

The guy on the right of the picture is holding one of the printed "BOYCOTT ISRAEL" signs.

[Dan from Michigan]

I'm actually running now. Precinct Delegate.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO
