Support Our Troops Rally and Peacenik FReep in Fresno, CA 6-28-02
6/28/02

Posted on 06/29/2002 12:23:56 AM PDT by mtngrl@vrwc

Tonight's Fresno, CA "Support Our Troops" and "Peacenik FReep" rally was attended by seventeen FReepers and patriots. FReepers who were able to make it tonight were:

I counted nine peaceniks across the street from us tonight. The peaceniks had a little graveyard set up on the hood of one of their cars. One grave stone was for "Truth", one was for "Freedom of Speech" and so on. They held their usual signs that said such things as "United Against War" and "Find the Commmon Ground". They had a new one too. It said "Not Under My Name". I guess that means that they don't approve of the actions of the Bush administration and our military.

JKphoto brought a new sign that quoted the Pledge of Allegiance with "One Nation, Under God" blown up really big. Great sign JKPhoto! At one point tonight, we all stood together in a group and said the Pledge of Allegiance.

Response from those driving by was very enthusiastic as usual. It's very rewarding to know that the people of Fresno agree with us in supporting President Bush and the troops.

A big thanks to all who attended the FReep tonight. To all those who couldn't join us tonight, we missed you and hope we will see you next week!

I'm not sure I fully understood what the point that guy was trying to make. I think it boils down to he feels we should react to terrorist attacks in a pacifist manor. I don't know what that would accomplish, besides making our country fair game for anyone with an axe to grind. He also tried to bring up slavery, and how Saudia Arabia has been "invaded" and taken over by the US because of the oil. I told him if the US is such a bad place then why do people risk their lives to come here. Just more of America is Wrong Inc.

"Find the Common Ground".

Find common ground? The terrorists found common ground. It's in NY, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Now we have something in common. They attacked us and we're going to eliminate as many of them as possible. That's the only common ground I know of.

BTW, thanks for the FReep and nice report.

Good morning all, and thanks mtngrl. Great report, great photos ....... just like every week. Wonderful job you do! We will get our photos posted eventually today.

Such a cute signature, mtngrl. Louie is so creative and resourceful, isn't he? The only thing that would make her more "YOU" is a sequined red, white and blue baseball cap, and some sunglasses. I LOVE that sequined hat of yours.

It was a great rally last night, so glad we could be there. Great dinner too - we missed you at our table mtngrl, senorita and GoodieD.

FReep On you fabulous FResno FReepers!
