"Our Rally"
Contributed by Bill Faith

The latest mail from Zero:

three pix of the competition, use any you choose.

Camera is broke, whenever I used the flash the pix was dark, as shown in the 4th , when I didn't use the flash the pix was blurred.

Stood still tooooo long and got volunteered to be an Event Marshall, there was genuine concern the protesters would be disruptive. Kinda of an honor and I got a neat t-shirt, but that means The OWD shirt was covered, and my back is killing me.

I have about 100 or so pictures, when I get home I'll go through it more detail, and see if any are worth salvaging.

Also a longer post in more detail about the whole weekend.

Oh yeah, I do believe we had more people than Murtha did yesterday.

I didn't think the "too dark" picture zero sent looked bad like it was but I let my photo editing program do an "autobalance" on it and thought it looked better after I did. If it's too bright now it's my fault, not Zero's.

Since Zero took pics of the moonbats I guess I'll post 'em. Poor pathetic ignorant things. Kindest thing'd be to just step on 'em.

Hoooooah! Good job and thanks for the update. Seems your crowd estimate is a bit modest as the Tibune Democrat reports "Nearly 1,000 people" in todays article below:

"Murtha's critics call for his 'redeployment' out of Congress
BY JULIE BENAMATI
The Tribune-Democrat

Nearly 1,000 people, many of them military veterans, blasted U.S. Rep. John Murtha’s stance on the Iraq war and questioned his patriotism during a rally Sunday afternoon at the Cambria County War Memorial Arena.

The “Boot Murtha” event was held just one day after Saturday’s pro-Murtha rally held in Central Park – and featured speakers who all sent the same message.

Using the Johnstown Democrat’s past call for troop redeployment in Iraq, critics called for the longtime congressman and Vietnam veteran to redeploy himself to retirement.

“It’s time for you to redeploy to Johnstown as a private citizen,” said David Beamer, father of Todd Beamer, who led the anti-hijacker group on Flight 93 that crashed near Shanksville on Sept. 11, 2001.

“(Murtha’s) plans are flawed, his positions are divisive, and his current and past activities will catch up with him,” Beamer told the crowd. “I wish (Murtha) peace and security with your family during your retirement.”

“Boot Murtha” supporters accused Murtha using the military and the Iraq war for his own political gain.

Harry Beam, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and decorated Vietnam veteran who lives in Upper Yoder Township, said unlike the speakers who supported Murtha a day earlier, the “Boot Murtha” guests were “ordinary citizens with extraordinary experiences.

Many times during the rally, chants of “Boot Murtha!” and “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Jack Murtha’s got to go!” echoed through the arena."
