Sat. at 12 Noon FR and Other Groups Will Join Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry for Protest in NYC
Feb. 26, 2004 | firebrand

Posted on 02/26/2004 11:30:11 AM PST by firebrand

This should be a great protest rally, folks. We are joining with other groups, and people are coming from as far away as West Virginia and DC.

Join Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry, Vietnamese-Americans Against John Kerry, and several other groups from around town.

Date: Saturday, February 28

Time: 12 noon

Place: Across from John Kerry's NYC headquarters, 373 Park Avenue South, between 26th and 27th Streets, NYC

Here's the first thread on this protest.

The weather is supposed to be absolutely fantastic.

Use this thread for hitching rides, discussing sign ideas, and any other input on the protest.

I will be scouting the area for a good place for us to go afterward. Suggestions welcome.

I'm sorry firebrand, but work, family and Cayuga County residence preclude my participation. My thanks for representing my voice too is all I can offer.

all the Conservative Parties events are either in NY City or Albany.
It bums me out that I would have to drive 8 hours.
Have fun!!

Dunno. Till we all get tired of chanting, ranting, yelling, and singing, I guess. How long does the 6 train take to get to 28th Street, anyway? Can you make it by 12:30? : )

Go out the farthest-east door of Penn Station (Seventh Avenue side) and keep walking east for 4 blocks (Seventh-Sixth-Fifth-Madison-Park). When you get to Park, hang a right and go south--a few of the short blocks and you're there.

I have something to do Saturday morning, but I will try to get it done Friday afternoon instead. Even if I can't, it shouldn't make me too late.

As a proud VN vet (1st ID, 1965-66) and not a baby-killer, I'd love to be there and wave my "KERRY-FONDA '04" poster. Alas it's a drill weekend in the CTArNG. You guys who do go will have me there in spirit. Give 'em unmitigated hell!

My Dad served from 65-66 in Nam. Landed at Cam Rhan Bay. I think that's how you spell it. He was in Fifth Special Forces. I remember him telling me it was extremely hot when they landed.
