***50,000 PRESENT AT LOS ANGELES "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" RALLY***

LA CHAPTER | 3/2/03 | Diotima

[diotima]

The Free Republic Chapter of Los Angeles (also known as The Hollywood Resistance Force) along with a coalition of other conservative organizations held a "Support Our Troops" rally in Los Angeles this afternoon.

The LA Chapter of FR with the Liberty Belles, FitAimAct, College Republicans and BOND met early this morning downtown for our rally, listened to great speeches from the likes of Ted Hayes, of FITAIMACT and Dome Village, Jesse Lee Peterson of BOND, Joe Lauria of the Liberty Belles and FR's own RON DOG.

After the speeches were given we began our march around downtown. A large group of people carring giant American Flags, Bush/Cheney signs, Support Our Troops signs, and the compulsory "France Should Be Ashamed" signs, desended upon the LA MARATHON. As we marched we chanted "Liberate Iraq!" and other marching slogans.

****WE ACTUALLY MARCHED IN THE MARATHON ALMOST TO THE FINISH LINE**** We heard cries of support, thumbs up and many thanks from the LA Police force! (One of them leaned over and said to the person marching next to me 'I am so gald to see you guys here!') When we finished our march, we had interviews with KABC, channel 7 (we have already been on TV) and several other media outlets, I couldn't keep them all straight. If anyone else knows please post them.

When we were finished, marched back along the streets to horns honking and thumbs and returned to our original location.

I'll let eveyone else who was there come in and post their comments. Today's rally was a great success and ai think the key was joining up with other organizations in the area to combine forces and make an impact.

Thanks to the hard work by everyone involved!! Thanks Everyone!

"Bet you guys didn't have a patriotic snowman like we had in DC"

LOL, shhh, we can't compete.

Just trying to put my best foot forward, even though it's still cold from 4 hours of standing & walking in 4 to 6 inches of snow in below 40 degree weather.

Whose idea was the snowman (snowperson?)? It was brilliant.

"I wonder if anyone was there to solicit signatures on the recall petitions?"

Due to a late submission by to the Sec. of State it will probably be Wednesday or Thrusday before the petitions will be available from what I understand.

NEVER FORGET

...Battle of IA DRANG-1965 Lifesaving Hero Lt. RICK RESCORLA was busy once again saving 1,000's
of lives as the World Trade Center's Tower 2 came down on him on September 11, 2001...

...during Airstike Attacks that would NEVER have happened had the Enemy Within HILLARY RODHAM -&- BILL CLINTON not refused 3 free offers to extradict OSAMA bin LADEN from the Sudan to an American Jail and Trial during the 1990's.


RICK RESCORLA's Gone =

Don't you dare let the CLINTONS get away with THIS one.

I guess so!! I'm really impressed! And in California, no less. This sounds more like the California my folks would remember from long ago in the 50's!

[LADY J]

Great march and pictures.

Thanks for a job well-done for AMERICA!

[rintense]

I am so proud of all of you! You are shining examples of not only FR, but of conservatives everywhere! God bless you all for your patriotism.

And RonDog, it's nice to put a face to the name!!!

Thumbs up LA !!!

Just in case anynoe hasn't caught on, we marched up the street during the LA Marathon. Of course there were 50k present, actually, some put the figure at 100k, but we didn't march the entire 25 mile marathon route. When we returned, we thought we would have a little fun with it...
