“Back the Blue” rally tonight in Walhalla

The Facebook page of the Oconee Republican Party announces plans for a “Back the Blue” event tonight in Walhalla.  It’s planned as a mobile rally starting at 6:30, with a 5:30 meet-up in the parking lot of the sheriff’s office.  The purpose:  to show support for the county deputies.  Participants are asked to wear Thin Blue Line gear and display the American flag.  A $25 dollar fuel or local restaurant gift card is promised for the maker of the most creative sign, but no offensive language should appear on signs.
