    Anti-Palin Rally in Wasilla, Alaska Sunday. See Pics., Read Article at DailyKos.com

    Good for Howard Bess! Keep fighting!

    Also, there was a rally today against Palin, with almost 2000 people, in Wasilla, Alaska, after a Palin speech nearby, 'the biggest protest rally in Alaskan history'. Two women organized it and got harassed by a local fundamentalist radio station who announced their names and phone numbers; they have been getting threatening and harassing phone calls ever since. (Someone called the media anonymously and told them the rally had been cancelled.)

    See DailyKos.com for pictures and article describing this rally. It seems full of bright, sane, good-looking women (and some men and children), most of whom have fun signs. (Vote for your favorite at the website.) See the comments; they are interesting and helpful. One says radio station KUDO, 'the progressive radio station in Alaska', lets you get to know the other side of Alaskans vis a vis Palin; she gets it streaming on line. (I can't get it).

    This rally is Very Heartening.
