'Rally For Sally' Packs State Capitol

Today's "Rally For Sally," held to show support for Rep. Sally Kern, drew a huge crowd to the State Capitol. Crowd estimates ranged from 1,000 to 1,600, considerably more than an anti-Kern rally staged by homosexual rights advocates drew recently.
Kern has been under fire by homosexual activists for remarks she made condemning the homosexual lifestyle. Those remarks, taped by a representative of The Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund and aired on YouTube, created a nationwide firestorm of criticism of Kern, who subsequently received death threats and numerous crude emails containing obscentities.
The Associated Press pegged the crowd at "more than 1,000," while a member of the Capitol police force estimated it at "Fifteen, sixteen hundred maybe." KFOR-TV estimated the crowd at "2,000 or more."
