This was posted by a friend, and I am passing it on because I think it is important that people see how Alaskans feel about Palin. They know firsthand what she is capable of doing if placed in a position of political power.
A bunch of pictures of that rally: scroll to the end to read the description from the woman who cooked up the idea:
[The] Alaska Women Reject Palin rally was to be held outside on the lawn in front of the Loussac Library in midtown Anchorage . Home made signs were encouraged, and the idea was to make a statement that Sarah Palin does not speak for all Alaska women, or men. I had no idea what to expect.
The rally was organized by a small group of women, talking over coffee. It made me wonder what other things have started with small groups of women talking over coffee. Itapos;s probably an impressive list. These women hatched the plan, printed up fly ers, posted them around town, and sent notice s to l ocal media outlets. One of those media outlets was KBYR radio, home of Eddie Burke, a long-time uber-conservative Anchorage talk show host. Turns out that Eddie Burke not only announced the rally, but called the people who planned to attend the rally "a bunch of socialist baby-killing maggots," and read the home phone numbers of the organizers aloud over the air, urging listeners to call and tell them what they thought. The women, of course, received some nasty, harassing and threatening messages.
I felt a bit apprehensive. Iapos;d been disappointed before by the turnout at other rallies. Basically, in Anchorage , if you can get 25 people to show up at an event, itapos;s a success. So, I thought to myself, if we can actually get 100 people there that arenapos;t sent by Eddie Burke, weapos;ll be doing goo d. A real statement will have been made. I c onfess , I still had a mental image of 15 demonstrators surrounded by hundreds of menacing "socialist baby-killing maggot" haters.
Itapos;s a good thing I wasnapos;t tailgating when I saw the crowd in front of the library or I would have ended up in somebodyapos;s trunk. When I got there, about 20 minutes early, the line of sign wavers stretched the full length of the library grounds, along the edge of the road, 6 or 7 people deep I could hardly find a place to park. I nabbed one of the last spots in the library lot, and as I got out of the car and started walking, people seemed to join in from every direction, carrying signs.
Never, have I seen anything like it in my 17 and a half years living in Anchorage. The organizers had someone walk the rally with a counter, and the y clicked off well over 1400 people (not in cludin g the 90 counter-demonstrators). This was the biggest political rally ever, in the history of the state. I was absolutely stunned. The second most amazing thing is how many people honked and gave the thumbs up as they drove by. And even those that didnapos;t honk looked wide-eyed and awe-struck at the huge crowd that was growing by the minute. This just doesnapos;t happen here.
Then, the infamous Eddie Burke showed up. He tried to talk to the media, and was instantly surrounded by a group of 20 people who started shouting O-BA-MA so loud he couldnapos;t be heard. Then passing cars started honking in a rhythmic pattern of 3, like the Obama chant, while the crowd cheered, hooted and waved their signs high.
S o, if youapos;ve been doing the math Yes. The Alaska Women Reject Palin rally was significantly bigger than Palinapos;s rally that got all the national media coverage So take heart, sit back, and enjoy the photo gallery. Feel free to spread the pictures around to anyone who needs to know that Sarah Palin most definitely does not speak for all Alaskans. The citizens of Alaska , who know her best, have things to say.
