The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us at two events we will be holding on Saturday, June 5, in D.C. to counter the "antiwar" rally and march being held by International ANSWER that day.
We will be joined by Iraqi exile leaders and some of the men who had their hands amputated at Abu Ghraib on orders of Saddam Hussein.
At 10 a.m., we will hold a media availability on the north side of Lafayette Park at 16th Street and H Street, NW.
From 2 p.m. to about 5 p.m., we will gather outside the home of Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld in the 2200 block of Kalorama Rd., NW, and hold a peaceful demonstration of support for him, President Bush, our troops and their mission fighting the war on terrorism in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
The ANSWER march will arrive at Rumsfeld's between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.
We have a permit from the D.C. police for our demonstration.
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

Link to Washington Post article with a brief mention of our freep at the end of the article.
I have to drive to PA that day but BTTT.
Keep up the good work!
Isn't Michael Berg supposed to join the ANSWER rally?
San Francisco, and Los Angeles people need to be very careful. They were threatened to be stabbed by needles infected by the HIV virus.
They are such a peaceful people aren't they.

That's positively disgusting. The FBI should demand that the web site give up the IP address of the poster who posted that comment.

I agree.
I've been to 5 counter-protests and 3 of the 5 times someone from our side got hit or beaten up.
Good thing the left consider themselves "peaceful" people otherwise I might have died instead of just being knocked around.
DC Chapter ping.
I am nearly 100% sure I can make it!
Awesome. You guys rule.
What a disgusting, vermin-like, lowlife, mentally ill concept to want to do to someone.
In my book its assault and attempted murder. Self-defense by whatever means available is justified.
Wish I could be there, but, unfortunately, I'm not able to make the road trip this weekend.
Y'all have fun, stay safe and givemhell for me!
They would hve to pick the same day that My family's going to a cookout party for my nephew before he goes back to S Korea.
I won't be able to come to this event but hold up some signs for me! :O)
And be careful 'cause a post I read gave me the willies to think the left is getting more and more violent!
Has someone reported that post to the proper authorities?
1) It's not funny.
2) That's a death threat on a public website. Pretty sure that's illegal.
You guys rock!
Bump for the good guys! Don't forget to ask about what we plan for after the freep.
Will be there for the afternoon festivities at Rummy's, but I am otherwise engaged at the time of the morning event.
I'm about 90% sure I'll be there.
Work may still be a factor, or rather my (in)ability to complete my work may be a factor.
Yes, Michael Berg is suppose to be marching with A.N.S.W.E.R.
