This morning Katie and I got a phone call from a friend in our church and He told us that He was going to the Sarah Palin Rally today with Pastor Chip. We told them that we would get a hold of some tickets and meet them there. Katie and I rushed out the door, ran to the republican headquarters of Port Charlotte, and got some tickets. (Around 11:00am)
We all arrived at the Germain Arena by 12:30pm and walked a few miles from where we parked, and then continued walking as we tried to find the end of the line to get in... By the time we got to the end of the line, we realized that this rally was going to be jam packed. About two and a half hours later we finally made it in the building.
It was set up by God because they stopped letting people in just a few minutes after we walked in the doors... I cannot imagine waiting for over 2 hours just to be told... sorry there is no more room inside.
Well we went inside for a great rally... We were able to see Connie Mac, Tom Moroney, Charlie Crist (and his fiance), and the beautiful Sarah Palin. Wow! It was a great rally!
At one point there were about six hippie looking protesters and Sarah said: "My son is over in Iraq right now fighting for your right to protest"... THE PLACE WENT CRAZY!!! It was so neat to be a part of such an inspiring event!
It is funny, many people that I talked to said: They wouldnt have come this far or waited this long to see McCain, but for Palin, it was well worth it! :)

Pastor Lee, I really have no idea who I like in this election. I wish there was a canidate who said something like "this country has forgotten about God and that is why we are going downhill. If we all pray to God and keep Him on our minds, maybe this country would be in better shape."
That's cool that you got to see her!
