Rally revisited

Here are some photos from the Re-Vote rally yesterday, in the extended entry section at bottom. I'll add more later, so check back.

If you attended, a good place to post your own pictures (registration required) is The Right Society Forum. Lots of great pics by Lauri and Jeff Sandquist and others there already... they put together a slideshow too. I love the ones of the nuns!!

Rabbi Daniel Lapin, president of Toward Tradition fired up the crowd: "We are not animals! We are humans touched by the finger of GOD!!"
Stefan makes his debut as a rally speaker. He read the speech to me in the morning; I told him, "Dude, you're not going to get through one page... they'll cheer and applaud too much!" Yup.

It was really encouraging and exciting that as the MC introduced Stefan, when he said the name of the 'blog, the crowd roared. I might be wrong, but to my knowledge I know of no other blogger, asked to speak to a conservative crowd, that has gotten that kind of reaction. Grassroots media, citizen journalism.

Soundpolitics readers? Hmm.

Gregoire voters (some multiple times, we think) on the left of course, getting out-shouted and out-classed by the Re-Vote participants on the Right.


Succinct. It just doesn't add up, does it?
With thanks to Lauri from The Right Society Forum for this pic.

The sad thing about tiggers is, he's the only one.
Medal of Honor statue, where a lot of the bigwigs hung out prior to speaking.

The Dems unearthed a lot of new voters in their registration drive.
As the rally dissipated, a lot of readers approached Stefan with encouragement and thanks. Just to name a couple of examples, Intrepid reader Joe O'Donnell came up with his whole family.
Dr. Arthur Coday, the man who filed the first contest of this fraudulent election, explained more of his case: quite simply, the hand recount was unconstitutional, as it was funded by special interests outside the state. We'll post more on that story later...

1. Some of you may be interested in my comparison of quotes harvested from the Seattle Times' report on the rally. A telling difference between the two sides.

2. Thanks for the pictures! It helps those of us who were trapped at home by being responsible (ie. we weren't paid to go there by our union) or health problems to be able to be there! Maybe we should offer the MSM an apology... It is obvious from the pictures that the anti-revote demonstrators were equal to the revote folks. It's just that in our case we can only represent one voter by one person! Doesn't it speak loads about their bias when the MSM automatically gives the Dem machine people credit for two or three times as many "votes" or demonstrators as there are actual people??

BTW What were the union/slacker demonstrators demonstrating? Perhaps their method of governing? Think about it!

4. Um, Victor, the Gregoire trogs were outnumbered 1800 to 200. Don't judge by one picture. Sheesh.

Skor: looks good.

5. Nice pictures. Nice rally. Too darn cold, though. I wish our legislators had gotten the message. I know mine did, but she apparently didn't care. Her response, which I received when I got home from the rally, was less than pleasing. Here's hoping for a good Republican candidate for the 26th.

6. Nathan,

Has someone else already posted the same letter from Patty Lantz elsewhere on this site? It sounds very familiar, but I don't have time to plow back through all the posts to find it. If so, you have received a copy of a standard response she has sent to all inquirers. On the other hand, if the previous letter was from a different legislator, perhaps the Dems are sharing a standard template for their replies....

7. Patrick,

I know there were some excerpts from various legislators posted here, but Lantz wasn't among them. The Democrat talking points from which Lantz' reply seems to have been drawn can be found here.

8. Thanks Brian! We've got loads of pics and even a video set to "Have You Forgotten" now on www.therightsociety.com.

The Rabbi showed some real passion, didn't he? We really did have a great time, and the Gregoire supporters sure acted sullen and angry - but theyre the winners, right? Why are THEY so mad???

9. To: Bleeding Heart Conservative...

My point exactly! But to the MSM and KC election czars 200 does equal 1800!! Remember it's not the votes but who counts them!
.
Also note that the number of voters who had their ballots changed ("enhanced") by the KC canvasing board would fill Safeco Field! That's just in KC! What about us yokels out here violating the "Progressive" environmental laws by living here? We and the expendables in Eastern Washington are chopped liver. The revote will allow us to vote more than once like some in KC did! I wonder how my dead grandparents in Olympia voted??

10. If you haven't had a chance, take the time to read Julia Youngs article in the PI. I hope Dino's people will read it and use it. It says it all!!
