It was one of the most inspiring events I have ever been to. I was proud to be an American and I could feel the same passion for true change in the fellow Americans who were there with me... shoulder to shoulder. I'm in this picture:
We began with the pledge of allegiance. There were so many people spread over a big area and surrounded by walls. The pledge resounded from side to side and finished to thunderous applause. The speakers were both inspired and inspiring.
Radio talk show host Rose Tennent told the crowd she was worried for the future of today's children.
"How can we in good conscience stand by knowing their future is at risk?" she asked. "How can we? We can't."
Keith Tucci, pastor of Living Hope Church in Whitney, told the crowd to not just come to the rally and then forget the issues. He urged them to write letters to politicians and attend government meetings to get their point across.
"Now go and do something good," he said.
Local news report here. Pictures grabbed from there as well. Thanks.
They asked that we not give up... to keep pushing.
Well, I'm going to keep pushing.
