The Spirit Of America Rally was attended by hundreds of Tulsa area enthusiasts, today. Several area, state, national political leaders were on hand, along with many folks who self identify as non-political and just recently interested in civic issues. Oklahoma City had a similar, if smaller rally. It has become common that Tulsa's grassroots responds more passionately to these rallies. The event started shortly after 12pm and included several area legislators. Then some congressional candidates introduced themselves. Two noted attendees were Gary Richardson (seriously considering a run for governor), and Matt Pinnell (transition chairman for the RNC & exploring a bid for Oklahoma Lt. Governor). Several veterans were taking part in the rally. The themes of national security, public safety, individual liberty, and traditional values were oft expressed. The Facebook page for the event has several in-depth news reports and photos. |
