It was a terrific day! If I wasn’t so bloomin’ tired, I’d give a run down, but right now, I’ll just post pictures.

THE flags:
P7020458 P7020459

Setting up, booths and such:
P7020460P7020461P7020467P7020468

Judson did a great job working his hinder, and a lot of other folks’ as well, to get this pull together.
P7020471

A few of the speakers:
P7020475P7020489P7020492

And the grand finale, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson:
P7020508

He was fantastic! There are so many who need to listen to what this man has to say! Believe me, you’ll be impressed, and you’ll learn a great deal!

A couple of the signs:
P7020474P7020483

The hard working ladies of TPN:
P7020494

And one of my favorite t-shirts:
P7020486

I’ve got a WHOLE lot more pictures, but like I said….I’m totally pooped! All in all…..a good day! :D

Nuts, I forgot the picture of the ‘required dissenters’, which if I heard correctly this morning, was reporting as a couple of dozen. Looked more like 6 at the most to me, but maybe they were talking about something different:

    I’m not familiar with Nashville. Can you tell me where it took place and a guess to how many people you saw there? Did you see any elected officials? Thanks.

    Legislative Plaza.  Anywhere from 500 to 2500.

    Hey all: Thanks so much for posting this. We had a great and successful day, I think. We had many speakers, including Ralph Bristol, Steve Gill, a message from Newt Gingrich, Fair Tax (a last minute add on), Joshua Culling from DC, Shaka Mitchell from Tn Ctr for Policy Research, Ken Fly with his new song, Brandon Urich and his band, Judson Phillips, my precious hubby, Robert, who offered the prayer, Vanessa Maddux who sang our Anthem, Laurie Cardoza Moore of PJTN, and the great Rev Jesse Lee Peterson from bondaction.org out of LA.Bill Gibbons from Memphis who is running for governor of Tenn–a great and fine man. Am I leaving someone out? Ken Marrera our EmCee from Blue Collar Muse. And yes, there were some politicians there….Josh Evans-rep of Robertson Co came down from the Hill after his hard work standing up for us Tennesseans….I haven’t seen the final tally yet….still can’t locate the 4 news agencies’ reports….channels 2,4,5,17 were all there and interviewed Judson Phillips. Channel 5 supposedly reported “thousands.” We had 10 different orgs represented there in their booths and they were all extremely busy. It was a great day.

    I’m so glad you remembered everyone’s name.  LOL  I was SO unbelievably tired, I couldn’t remembered anyone’s name except Ken’s, Judson and Rev. Peterson.  And when I went to post the pictures, blurry was an understatement.  Heh.
