Just got back from Santa Clarita and I am proud to be able to report that SOS's event was a smashing success. First and foremost, we had ATTENDANCE. My hat is off to JeanfromFillmore and Eagle 1. We really made a quality appearance but a few miles east of Magic Mountain.
Off the top of my head: - We had an interesting selection of speakers. Everyone who addressed the crowd brought his or her own unique perspective. - We got a crapload of exposure. We were on a crowded intersection that had thousands and thousands of cars go by. Signs and flags were everywhere. - I saw a lot of new faces. Many tea partiers have joined the immigration fray. - I met Roger Gitlin. He was a really nice guy. I sat next to him later at a post-event meal. He has a lot to say and is well-informed. - The last speaker was spectacular (I want to kill myself for having run out of film). He was a legal immigrant from Mexico 50 years ago. His speech had people in cars at the intersection (40 to 50 feet away) erupting in spontaneous cheers. - The one trouble maker who showed up, chose to drive off when he was confronted w/ people holding video cameras. When he came back looking for trouble, he was promptly arrested. I'll be posting video on my site w/in a few hours. --------- LINK THAT LEADS TO THE FIRST VIDEO CLIP - El Vato es muy enojado! http://members4.boardhost.com/Derail...263690714.html Last edited by DerailAmnesty.com; 01-16-2010 at 04:32 PM. |

Ditto to everything Sam said for now. The planning crew did a FANTASTIC job. The speeches and the set up were dynamic. The planning group cooperation and dedication to making this a success was very uplifting.
I got to play with the new SOS toy, our video camera, so I hope the video clips are okay. Sam, don't worry about the last speaker; I got him on film! I'll get my clips up asap! |

We should be as eager to join their fight as they are in ours- and in this we can build our numbers much faster than running two seperate campaigns.
