While scooting around the internet, I see a lot of folks asking if the rally will receive tv/media coverage. Does anyone know ?

This is a one time event and I sure don't want to miss any media coverage. Please post a note here if you know of any media coverage.
Also.....if anyone attending the rally can post here and let us know what is
going on, that would be appreciated too.

I wish I could be there, but really looking forward to all the pictures and commentary from those who attend.

GOD BLESS YOU SWIFTYS.....

Swiftsocks...

Just for the record, this is not a "SwiftVets" rally but a Vietnam Veterans rally against John Kerry.

It's sponsored by "Vietnam Vets for the Truth" at www.Kerrylied.com who openly request participation of ALL veterans, families, friends, and supporters Wink

C-SPAN had continuous coverage of the Anti-Bush rally in NYC the day before the convention. If they do not cover the Vets rally, I would be surprised and very disappointed!

Rush mentioned it today on his show. Stated that 5,000 are expected to attend. Also heard on c-span yesterday morning, when the attorney who works for swift boat veterans for truth was on..he was asked about it and said that SBVT did not organize it, but another veterans group was. It was a very good segment...He sure did stand up for the swifties!
God Bless America,

Thanks for the schedule for c span coverage

I can't go either.... disabled .... I can't manage to go to grocery and do laundry on the same day! Darn! I miss being 'normal' at times like this!

years ago (like 30) I used to love to picket! So, a rally like this makes me chomp at the bit! I'll be watching for pics also....

how about emails to CNN, MSNBC and FOX asking if they'll be covering it? Let 'em know we want to see it!
