The Rally was a great success! Thanks to all that attended. The following is the email from Keenan Davis, the Committee Chair and Moderator. Continue down for a link to pictures !
"Oh man, oh man,
I am almost speechless to describe the blessings I saw showered on our heads today at the Rally. It was a wondrous sight indeed to see the culmination of so much effort manifest in that wonderful event. I echo Craig’s sentiments at the Rally: let’s turn this effort into VOTES…!!
It was so great to see how the advance publicity was prepared (see the above-the-fold article in the Auburn Journal?), the tables were spread with literature and good cheer, the stage was decked out with plants, flags, banners and musicians, how the three levels of security were so large and in charge, meshed (and vested), polished (include the chrome on the bikes!), gentlemanly and helpful, how the Scouts glowed with their posting the colors, how great the music felt, how gracious everyone was to our trio of brave protesters, how heartfelt and mighty the offered prayers were, how competent and passionate the speakers were, and what an impact the American River College kids made (and what they learned and the boost it gave them). I could go on and on.
If we had held this event in any major city, it could not have been more professional, substantive and inspiring. Estimates of attendees are in the 300 to 400 person range. No one can calculate the strengthening, lifting influence the Rally will have on the attendees, of course. But I have to believe the increased confidence in the cause and heightened awareness of the stakes and consequences in the hearts and minds of the attendees will pay victorious dividends.
The Lord presided over a teamwork miracle today of different faiths, talents, and skills. I can with conviction say He used all of us in His cause.
I know we can feel His approval and, at the same time, hear His still small voice urging us onward. May we continue to share in the rich blessings that come from such efforts, I hope and pray.
Mesha and I are grateful to be a part of such a marvelous team and such a stellar event. Let’s build on this and spread the net even wider for November 4. Thanks again.
Keenan"
