My Trip To D.C. To Counter The Communists
PABAAH: Patriotic Americans Boycotting Anti-American Hollywood ^ | Jon Alvarez

Posted on 10/26/2003 11:21 AM EST by jonalvy44

Now why on earth would I drive so far, leaving the comforts of my home, simply to be verbally assaulted by a group of left-wing wackos? The answer is simple; I made this trip to show my support for our president, our troops, and our country.


I also made this trip to show the nation and the world that these leftist protesters do not speak for me. I could not in good conscience sit by and allow for them to march unopposed, spewing their venomous hatred not only for President Bush, but also for our country. They do not represent mainstream America

My DC Chapter Rally/Protest Warrior "Infiltration" After-Rally Report
myself | 10/24/2003 | Pyro7480

I was with the Protest Warriors when they left the FR rally, right at the end of Bob Dornan's speech. They actually started out later than they had planned. We marched all the way to the other side of the Washington Monument, to the area near the ANSWER stage, close to Constitution Avenue. The main body of the PW group arrived together, while some who walked more slowly arrived soon afterwards. In the "wave" I was part of, there was a spur-of-the-moment singing of "God Bless America," just to counter the shouting we were getting. From that point on, we were getting shouted down, and some of us debated the ANSWER supporters.

~~~

We spent the day protected by a line of police motorcycles, while we "engaged in dialogue" with the misguided. We were definitely noticed, but, I don't think our message got out to enough people who would care. I think I got at least one person to listen. An older woman who read my sign about the deaths caused by communism. I asked if she agreed with my sign. She said yes. I then mentioned who the sponsers of ANSWER are and she looked very concerned.
Well, sorry for the long post, thought I would fill you guys in.
Happy to be a new member.

One of these days, I've just got to get out of these TN. hills and attend a DC rally. My thanks to all who made it to this one in support of our troops.

Thanks for the ping and for the links to other rally threads, RC.

Welcome to FR, cargosquid!

Thanks for pinging this thread to your list of Freepers. All the great pics of Saturday deserve to be widely seen; supporting our Troops is what Real Citizens can do to help keep our country safe.
