I've compiled all the recent newspaper and TV stories I could find on the America First: Summit on National Security. I've included some pre-Summit stories and letters to the editor. I didn't see anything on the 10 p.m. news but found that several of the networks ran the exact same AP story on their websites. The most interesting coverage is in HOY and it looks like they plan to run more stories next week. The translations from Spanish to English are pretty rough, though.

I'll just send you the URLs. I can send the translated Hoy article separately, if you like.

I stopped to thank 2 of the policemen on my way out. The officers were pretty upset about a woman from our side who flipped off the demonstrators and yelled at them. They told me there were only 4 officers at the scene when this happened and they felt like things could easily have escalated out of control because they were so greatly outnumbered. This officer had been there all day and was still very upset with us. His comments were covered by the press. We need to resist the temptation to stoop to the level of our opponents because it only hurts our cause.

The URLs follow.
