The Sarah Palin (she was in town for a 1k per plate fundraiser) protest held Friday morning in downtown Dallas was great. We had an official count of over 400 protestors on our side; they were out there for over 4 hours! The other side had a few more –so over one thousand people were on the streets of downtown Dallas protesting –it was excellent.
