Jim, I was at the New Lenox/Joliet rally this morning ... start to finish ... close to 10,000 attended. Never saw you or FR mobile one or heard any mention of you or FR from the podium ... did you go on ahead to Indiana?
See you in DC
The FReepmobile was parked in line right behind the buses. We were sitting nearby at the edge of the crowd just off stage right and we left at the end of the rally.
I was stage right right about halfway up along the sidewalk ... crowd was too large to get a closeup looksee. See ya Friday night.
It was great today, I attended with my daughter, (in the green shirt in the 3rd picture) I loved it and so did she. Our hands were hurting from clapping so much and our voices were hoarse from yelling. We got there at 9 and it was already filling up, but when we left there were 4 times the amount of people there. It was an amazing day.
I did not see any thugs there at all, did anyone else?
Jim, we tried to find you, but just didn’t see you. I asked some of the TPE people and they said you guys were there, but just couldn’t find you to say hi.
Hey, did you guys get to come in with the police escort off the highway or did you have to wait? Tremendous rally in New Lenox.
Love your pictures. I see my husband in one and the top of my head next to him! Don’t know if he posted his pictures yet, but if not, he’ll do them later tonight. What a great rally today.
I probably have a picture where you can be seen better, I will look. I took about 200. I’ll check.
See you in Canton, for certain.
Should I bring beer, or ensure?
Thanks! I can”t wait to see them!
It was a great day!
I will be in Lockport on 9-12 for the rally there. I can’t make it to Washington - I wish I could be there.
Ha! Better make it a diet coke or glucerna.
See you there!
Wunnerful, wunnerful! (as a famous midwesterner used to say.
Love these photos. Love these people!
We weren’t with the buses. We saw the huge traffic jam on the freeway so went around it to the next exit and came in the back way on city streets. But we did get to park up close just behind the buses.
Looking forward to seeing you folks in Jackson tomorrow. I have no idea what kind of crowd we’ll have but I’ll be there for sure.
