Recess Rally Video

I'm not much of a videographer, but this will at least give you an idea of what today's rally was like. As always, it was a friendly, family-oriented crowd, passionate about their country and their Constitution. I've heard estimates from about 350 to 550 of "us," versus about 100 to 150 of "them."

It's not captured in the video, but when we first arrived we were greeted by a group of the counter protesters, shrieking at us and shaking their fists. The Overland Park Police escorted us past them and down to the group of like-minded souls. The counter protesters were booing the cars that honked, waved and cheered for us, and giving them the occasional obscene gesture. Worth noting...there were no children with the Obamabots, and only one flag which they dug up after some of our folks chided them for not having any.

Despite the rabble rousers, it was, as always, a very uplifting experience. Can't wait until September 12th in Washington!
