Can you call it a rally if no one shows up? This is the early report from AP:
About 100 people had gathered before a stage set up on the eastern portion of the mall as the noon rally began. A large photo of an American flag served as a backdrop for the stage, and country music blared from speakers while other banners and signs proclaiming support for U.S. troops waved in the breeze.The Freepers were expecting 20,000.
