As you know, the Stand Up for Religious Freedom rally last in Little Rock on Friday was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who attended and spread the word.

If you missed the rally or would just like to watch the speeches again, we’ve uploaded the full rally to YouTube. We’ll be uploading even more videos soon, including each speech separated into different videos and the full rally from multiple camera angles.

On June 8, 2012, approximately 800 concerned citizens gathered on the Capitol Building steps in Little Rock to take a stand for religious freedom. At the same time, similar rallies were happening in cities across the country as part of a nationwide effort.
