700 at San Francisco Rally for Religious Freedom!

At the Federal Building in San Francisco today about 700 people attended the second Rally for Religious Freedom. The speakers were fantastic!

Here's some pix (courtesy Eva Muntean). More on the rally will follow.

Getting ready.

Fr. Joseph Illo, from St. Joseph's Church in Modesto, was one of the speakers.
 
 Fr. Illo was great!

Co-organizers (with Joni Durling) Walter and Lori Hoye, and Ana Benderas of Live Action, who spoke beautifully. I don't know the name of the gentleman on the right, who is with Ms. Benderas.


Vicki Evans, Respect Life Coordinator of the Archdiocese of San Francisco
was on fire!


After the rally, some of the speakers posed for photographs.
