The communist, pro-terrorist group International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) seems to realize they are facing a hot LZ on March 17.
ANSWER has made significant changes in their plans since their initial announcement that they would hold their antiwar rally at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Last week they changed the location of their rally from Constitution Gardens (East side of the Vietnam Memorial) to a park one block west of Memorial on Henry Bacon Drive.
Yesterday, ANSWER announced they are only going to use the Henry Bacon Drive park as a meeting point for their march to the Pentagon, rather than holding a rally there.
This does not change our plans at all.
While the Gathering of Eagles has put these communist terrorist lovers on the run, the danger to the memorials from ANSWERs fellow travelers is growing. With each passing day, we are receiving reports of threats to desecrate the Vietnam Memorial and other Memorials. We pass this information to the Park Service for investigation.
ANSWER is asking their supporters to start arriving near the Vietnam Memorial at 8 a.m. on the 17th. They plan to start their march to the Pentagon at 12:30 p.m.. That means their people will be milling about for hours with nothing to do and may try to cause trouble.
It is imperative that the Eagles start gathering as early as possible Saturday (0700/7AM) morning and plan to stay all day.
Being that ANSWER has forsaken use of Constitution Gardens, the Gathering of Eagles has applied with the Park Service for a permit to use Constitution Gardens, an excellent location, as our rallying point and base of operations from which to spread out to protect the memorials. The Park Service should be able to tell us tomorrow (Friday) where we stand.
The anti-American left will be scattered around Washington on the 17th. The Fidel Castro groupies and Jane Fonda lovers at Code Pink will be meeting near the World War II Memorial Saturday morning before they join ANSWERs march.
Another leftist group has plans to rally at the Lincoln Memorial near the Korean War Memorial.
When ANSWERs march to the Pentagon is over, many of their people will be heading back across Memorial Bridge to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. We cannot let our guard down all day.
In addition to applying for Constitution Gardens, we have also applied for demonstration areas along ANSWERs march route. Please note that we have advised the Park Service and the Pentagon that we will not be counter-protesting at the Pentagon. We would just be in the way when the leftists start trying to tear down the protective fences and the CS gas starts being used by law enforcement at the Pentagon parking area where the anti-war rally will be held.
Our plans have been slow to announce because ANSWER abuses the Park Services permit process by preventing other groups, like ours, from being able to obtain permits in a timely manner. Rest assured that all will be settled soon and we will soar like Eagles on March 17.
Please review our Mission Statement on www.gatheringofeagles.org to refresh the principles that under-gird Gathering of Eagles event we hold the high ground but will be resolute in protecting our Memorials from desecration, damage,and dishonor.
Eagles Up!
Are you going to be able to make it to the WR Freep Friday night?
Me neither!
This will be the ultimate Freep!
Ms.B
I'm afraid not...
Our bus is leaving Maine early Friday evening..
Ms.B
And, Lord willing, there will be tens of thousands of Eagles all over it!
After all the driving, well probably have to catch an hour or two of sleep so we'll be bright eyed and bushy tailed for the FReep. I have always wanted to be there at WR supporting our troops and now I'll get my chance.
look, i am already OLD, don't confuse me more with the hair cut thing young 'un!! LOL
*sigh*
How I wish I could!
I have always wanted to...
Ms.B
processing
please
hold
hmmm! maybe if we write it REALLY small?!
let me know what you come up with!! i want to know who i am looking at when i am looking. (remind me to take my glasses! JK)
Caravan sets out from San Francisco for Washington DC, but made a stop in Lafayette CA:
I'll think of you when we're there. A couple more FReepers will be in my thoughts too since they can't make.
Lol sorry. I've been growing my hair out so I can donate it. If it's long enough, I want to donate it before I leave.
Lololol Maybe I should have kept my old FReeper name, naw, I like this one better.
I'm nearsighted so if your close, I'll see ya. If you're not, I just hope the ladies don't think I'm *funny* and looking at their chest. :-)
let me know what you come up with!! i want to know who i am looking at when i am looking. (remind me to take my glasses! JK)
I'll do that. And you let me know if you come up with something.
oh! sure! the caravan TOTALLY misses South Dakota! ::pouting:: you won't even see me wave!
how much is it now...10" at the least, right? my girls have done that!!
Thank you...
I'll be with you in spirit..
Ms.B
I've definitely got 10 inches...I'm just not sure how much I'm going to have left after I get that cut off. My hair's really curly so it'll look shorter than it really is.
actually, i don't where we would get them, but a colored arm band would be a great identifier!
everyone finding the same color baseball cap would be difficult...and some of the ladies won't want their hair messed up! (heck, give me a cap!)
:: sh! still thinking::
that is so cool! i admire you for it!!
