A LOT of flags throughout the Rally today. Faithful Americans STANDING UP for their 1st amendment rights.

Families throughout with open ears and hearts. Celebrating LIFE, their RELIGION and their LIBERTIES as guaranteed to them in the 1st amendment!

PLEASE do not sit down during this moment in our great nation's history. This is not solely a Catholic or abortion/sterilization issue. All attacks on the 1st amendment, including (especially) but not limited to the current HHS amendment, are an AMERICAN issue...
