After Action Report: Lansing Freep 3/20/04

[Zol03]

Our Freep started at the Capitol, so we could prepare for the lefties march there. There were only a handful of us, but we made the most of it, and were quite loud. Two patriots, though not Freepers, led the Parade to the Capitol.

One the sidewalk in front of the Capitol lefties pretended to be the dead. We were warned multiple times not to step on them! The usual suspects were there: ANSWER, Direct Action (aka the Dead), and some other people who wish we were still in the 60s.

Once the peaceniks gathered they started beating their "war drums" in earnest. Although, I guess they would call them peace drums. They were also constantly coming up to us trying us to go to their seminars, and telling us that people would listen to us.

During the speeches we chimed in chanting "Liberation!", "War gave you this freedom!", and we also sang (to the tune of Give Peace a Chance) "All we are saying, is give terrorists a chance!"

Pics will follow!

Ok, hopefully I'll post the pics correctly!

The lefties gathering.

And the Patriots!

Good job, I couldn't get picture to post either
When you right click on pic in IE a dialog box pops up including properites and I don't have the ability to copy and then paste location of picture from that.
With Netscape it was just right click on pic and copy and paste
I don't get it, I need to ask one of FR HTML gurus.
Maybe its the version of IE I have

Is my face really that fat?

Apackof2 listening as Zo103's mom gives a young reporter from MSU a lesson in right thinking!

If you use an IE browser, and see a graphic you want to bring to the FR forum, just right-click on the graphic, and look at the "Properties" menu. Then highlight the "Address" listed in the Properties window, right-click on the selected Address, and choose "Copy" from the popup menu. Now the address of the chosen graphic is in your Windows clipboard, ready to be pasted.

You might also include the "ALT" attribute of the IMG tag when posting images so that if they don't show, at least some text will appear instead of the red X.

Thank you for showing up and taking a stand for our troops and our president!

Great report and photos, too!

(I, too, have tried to post pictures from an album and it wouldn't work. Ended up getting a site on Tripod and storing pictures there.)

"War gave you this freedom!", and we also sang (to the tune of Give Peace a Chance) "All we are saying, is give terrorists a chance!"

Quite good. Nice job!
