In the spirit of our successful "Rally for America" in '03 and as FReepers and patriotic Americans, it's time to once again to hit the streets as a national force to stand up for what is right and take action against the juggernaut of lies, evasions and mistruths perpetrated by the liberal media who want to see the War on Terror fail!
September 11, 2004
has been designated by the Free Republic Network and associated FR Chapters as the date for the
National March Against Terror
To date, national sponsors for this event include;
What is the NMAT?
The National March Against Terror event is a nationwide demonstration of the American people's commitment to win the war on terrorism, support for our troops, and pay homage to the victims of terror. All participants are volunteering their time, energy, and resources to make this event possible.
Who is running this event?
The National March Against Terror event is being run by the NMAT Lead Sponsors. These sponsors are volunteering their time, energy, and resources to help structure the March as a national event. As of this writing, the FIT-AIM-ACT Campaign is offering its advisory services through its coalition task force committees, SAFE Foundation is organizing NMAT's fundraising and promotional activities through its 'National March Against Terror' program, Free Republic Network is organizing and coordinating the literal-side of the March, i.e., marches, rallies, vigils, and other public events through its national online network, and GiveSupport International is maintaining the NMAT web site and all related trade names, slogans, logos, service marks, and copyrights.
Is NMAT a non partisan event?
Yes. The National March Against Terror event involves Americans of every political background. It is not sponsored or endorsed by any one group or party. Every American can participate in his or her own way. Each year, the March may or may not be held on September 11th, but it will support the National Day of Vigilance and the war on terrorism every year until the war is won.
Why have a National Day of Vigilance?
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 changed America forever, and we the American people must never forget our responsibility of protecting our homeland. By having a national day of rededication to year round vigilance against terrorism, we hope that America will never again be caught off guard by those who seek our destruction. It is our belief that such vigilance will ultimately save lives at home and abroad.
Do you hope to make NDOV a National Holiday?
If the Congress and/or the President decide to designate September 11th or some other day as 'National Day of Vigilance', we would be happy to see that happen. However, it would be our desire that NDOV not be made into another holiday for family barbecues and picnics. Instead, it should be a national day for every American to reinforce their personal vigilance against terrorism. Until the war on terror is won, our hope is that the National Day of Vigilance be used to help America stay on a war-footing in support of our troops and to encourage the highest level of vigilance at home.
