Just got back from the protest!
Small, but very effective! Great speakers. The Denver Post was there. Let's see how much they report.

3. Which flyers?
Yes it was great! The speakers were perfect! I thought more like a hundred, but I'm not very accurate at crowd size guesses. They are asking for names of speakers on the main polotics board. Not sure they want their names posted, you know?

2. Just got back from the election fraud rally in Temecula, Ca.
It was great. I wasn't sure I wouldn't melt, but I had a great time. By far most of the cars honked in support.

11. Only about 25 ... but that's good for Freeperland!
Everybody honked in support - I didn't expect that! It was a nice surprise.

8. I went too!

It was the first time I ever attended a rally or protested!

It was empowering!

10. I was there!
It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm with a nice breeze. The speakers were good. I especially liked the "witches" who dress as skeletons and tell jokes!

After the rally we marched to the Rocky Mountain News and chanted "End the media blackout!" and "This is what democracy looks like!" We were right at a light outside the paper and honks, thumbs up and peace signs showed support over the finger and B/C signs running about 10:1.

I had to cut out after that, but they were planning to march down the 16th St. Mall to the Denver Post after I left.

I took some photos, but it will be a while before I can get them up because I haven't the money to develop the film. :(

13. My daughter also liked them
They used her favorite Bushism! The one about There's a saying here in Texas... Her next favorite is the one about so and so being a West Texas GIRL...just like me! Hope you get some money for Christmas to get those photos developed! I've been there many times, it is usually shorter in duration than you think it will be.
