Peace

There was very little coverage of the 9-12 rally in downtown Fort Worth yesterday. What coverage there was is being disputed by many that were present.

News outlets say hundreds or a thousand people went. Attendees know there were more than that.

It's a shame that news can't be news anymore. Unbiased information.

We read the Fort Worth Star-Telegram daily newspaper article about the rally. As usual, it's not the article, it's the comments from the readers that we enjoyed (40+ so far). Especially those that explained how the rally was a peaceful way for all, regardless of personal politics, to come together.

Before you promote the 9-12 rally as a good thing, you might want to check out the background, underlying agenda and the rallies in other cities.

Watch this video

As previously stated, some here are left, some are right and some are neither. If the left had a rally, we would attend and promote. If we then received comments and videos produced by the right, we'd post them too, same as we've done here.

Do we believe everything either side says? No. Do we believe there are uneducated people on both sides? Yes. We did agree with the speakers at the rally that stated this is not about Republicans or Democrats, it's about Americans.

We have tried to stayed away from National politics, we figure Fort Worth and surrounding cities/counties have enough problems on their own. We want to help give people a voice and we'd like to try to bring them all together.

We do believe in the right for all to be able to peaceably assemble and stand up for what you believe in, whatever that may be.

As always, we appreciate you and your dedication to giving our citizens a voice.
