September Republican National Convention, New York
3/23/2004 | hockeyfreak

Posted on 03/23/2004 9:40:11 AM PST by hockeyfreak

The Republican National Convention is planned for New York city, Thursday September 2. I know Protest Warrior is planning on staging a counter-protest of the lefties that are planning a huge protest of the event. Are the Freepers planning on joining us? This should be a HUGE counter-protest if you plan this far in advance. We could probably get thousands of Protest Warriors and Freepers from all over the country to make it up there. Post your ideas and comments. Keep this thread bumped until September.

It would be great to have a big crowd to cheer Bush and the Troops. I would like to see them twitch but I work. Need funds for hotel rooms?

Hey all,
Do you know of a good resource where people post apt. rentals/swaps for the RNC week? I have a manhattan apt. and am most likely going to be out of town for that time period.

RightMarch.com will be hosting a hospitality suite at the convention, together with the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. No "booth" though.

RightMarch.com will be there, like they were in DC. Here's the Action Alert sent out to members (requests for contributions removed):

Protest the Radical Liberal Protesters in NYC!

ALERT: Remember our hugely successful counter-protest to the "March of the Radical Liberals" in Washington, D.C.? They outnumbered us 500-to-1 -- but WE got at least 25% of all the media coverage...

... Just because we were willing to SHOW UP.

And BOY, were the loony leftists MAD! They had expected a cakewalk, with all the media covering their hate-fest and their anti-Bush, anti-troops, anti-American tirades. Everyone from the ACLU to the Hillary Rodham Clinton Support Network, from NARAL to People for the American Way, from NOW to the Feminist Majority... they fully expected all eyes to be on THEM, and they were NOT happy when one-fourth of the media turned to US.

That day, hundreds of hard-working, patriotic Americans stood up for traditional values. They were willing to take a weekend off, and let those out-of-touch whackos know that we will no longer sit idly by while they occupy our streets carrying signs comparing President Bush to Hitler or some other such nonsense.

Well, folks, it's time to do it again! We're teaming up with the good folks at the Society for Truth and Justice again, for another "Operation Witness" event -- this time, we're "protesting the protesters" at the Republican National Convention in New York City!

Have you heard about these extremists, converging on the Big Apple at the end of August? The protesters -- from labor unions and anti-war groups, to women's and gay rights groups and more -- are all expected to stake their spots outside Madison Square Garden. Here's a few of the estimated 250,000 far-leftists that are coming to participate in the "NYC March of the Radical Liberals":

America Coming Together, Anarchists in NY, Socialist Party of Michigan, New York Civil Liberties Union, ACT UP/New York, Democrats.US, International Socialist Organization, Northeastern Federation of Anarcho-Communists, Not In Our Name Project, Queers for Peace and Justice, Young Peoples Socialist League, Democrats.com, Socialist Party USA, Young Democratic Socialists, A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition, Coalition for Impeachment Now, Muslim WakeUp, Young Communist League USA... these, and hundreds more, will be marching in the streets of "America's City", protesting every decent value that you and I hold dear.
In response, RightMarch.com is now a leading sponsor of yet another one of the biggest counter-protests in history, which will take place on August 28, 29 and 30th, 2004 in New York City. WILL YOU JOIN US? Make plans NOW to be in New York City for this 3-day weekend, Saturday, August 28 through Monday, August 30.

And even if you can't join us... PLEASE consider helping us put this event on!

TAKE ACTION: If you've never taken part in a conservative protest before -- and even if you have -- we've made it EASY! We'll have some solid activism training and seminars at our hotel HQ (much like we had in D.C.), then we'll hold peaceful demonstrations before the Convention, and on the opening day. If you want to come, you can get a cheap flight, and be home Monday night, and only miss one day of work... it's a three-day weekend!

Our purpose at the Republican National Convention will be threefold:

  1. To show support for the conservative positions President Bush espouses and to urge him to only appoint truly conservative judges to the judiciary.
  2. To protest against the protesters. Many bizarre, left wing groups, have declared their intention to protest President Bush -- and traditional American values -- during the Republican National Convention. We will be there to counter-protest them! We know that the media would love to portray a "groundswell" of anti-Bush (and anti-American) sentiment in New York -- this will be our chance to contradict whatever lies they spew, and be seen and heard by the media.
  3. We will urge the Republican Party to stay true to the principles of Ronald Reagan and not become the party of "RINOs" -- Republicans in Name Only. The Republican Party is in great jeopardy of being overrun by left wing "moderates" who are little more than Democrats in Republicans' clothing. We must oppose this betrayal of principles and morality.
WILL YOU JOIN US? Let's make this one even bigger that the one in D.C.!

(See below to register online.)

Like our great counter-protest in Washington, D.C., this event will be a powerful witness for Truth: "Operation Witness"! BUT, to accomplish this monumental task, WE NEED YOUR HELP with this event. We are devoting extensive time, resources and energy to ensuring that the "NYC March of the Radical Leftists" is a public relations disaster for them, and a complete success for our conservative cause. We must Witness for the Truth.

NOTE: The time has come for the "silent majority" to SPEAK UP loud and clear. It's time to move away from our computer screens, and hit the streets! Start planning now to come to New York City, and MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Go to http://www.societyfortruthandjustice.com/registration.htm to sign up online, letting us know that you'll be attending our counter-protest.

We have a discounted rate for "Operation Witness" at our protest HQ: the Belvedere Hotel, 319 West 48th Street, New York, NY 10036. Call 1-888-468-3558 to make your hotel reservation. The reduced rate is $165 for a single or double, $180 for a triple, and $195 for four people. There's only a few dozen rooms left and the reserved block expires soon, so hurry!

Whatever you can do -- register to come to NYC, or help us cover the costs for the counter-protest -- be sure to forward this Alert to everyone on your email list... the more patriotic Americans we can get the word to, the more we'll have with us in August.

Thank you!
