Long lines outside the ChickFil A in Hobart and others around the country after Conservative host Mike Huckabee declared August 1st Chick Fil A day...asking people to have lunch and dinner there. Some were there to support owner's stand against gay marriage. .. others to support his right to free speech. The company also got some support from Congress. ABC's Andy Field says seventeen Republican members of Congress signed a letter supporting Chick-fil-A -- Indiana Congressman Dan Burton says they're protesting mayors of Chicago and other cities saying they don't want the fast food company in their city. Thousands of people joined long lines to buy sandwiches to support the company.
