The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us at two events we will be holding on Saturday, June 5, in D.C. to counter the "antiwar" rally and march being held by International ANSWER that day.
We will be joined by Iraqi exile leaders and some of the men who had their hands amputated at Abu Ghraib on orders of Saddam Hussein.
At 10 a.m., we will hold a media availability on the north side of Lafayette Park at 16th Street and H Street, NW.
From 2 p.m. to about 5 p.m., we will gather outside the home of Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld in the 2200 block of Kalorama Rd., NW, and hold a peaceful demonstration of support for him, President Bush, our troops and their mission fighting the war on terrorism in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
The ANSWER march will arrive at Rumsfeld's between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.
We have a permit from the D.C. police for our demonstration.
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

Link to Washington Post article with a brief mention of our freep at the end of the article.

Great move, inviting the exiled/mutilated Iraqis! Should make for an interesting and informative after action report. Should also generate some real interest by the media. Good luck, as always.

These men want the world to know what Saddam Hussein and his Ba'ath Party henchmen did to them and the Iraqi people. It is very upsetting to them that foreign fighters are trying to deny them their freedom. Especially because these same foreigners stood by and did nothing as Saddam murdered and tortured them for decades.
These men, like most Iraqis, recognize that it was America, led by President Bush, who liberated them from tyranny's hell.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. The men have gotten to meet just about every high level government official, from President Bush on down, who worked to liberate them. This time, they'll get to meet those who worked to prevent that.

Thanks for the compliment. There are many FR chapters and affiliates that are also doing great work. We're based in the nation's capital, so we've got the most chances for high value freeping targets. We do have good aim, though:-)
