A small but enthusiastic crowd of patriots gathered on the City Center Green in Danbury this morning. I didn\u2019t get an accurate count but I\u2019d put the number at 150 or so.<\/p>\n

Lea, Rosemarie and Halle (apologies if I’m spelling your names wrong) sang of one of the best renditions of the nation anthem I\u2019ve ever heard, the band Murphys Law rocked the crowd and roughly a dozen speakers, including representatives from the Danbury High School Young Republicans and the WCSU College Republicans took the stage to speak.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a few photos from the rally:<\/p>\n
