Pro-Troop Organization Set to Fight Back Against Blame America Crowd
[New York] -- In just three weeks, thousands of Republican delegates from around America will descend upon New York City for the 2004 Republican National Convention.
While convention delegates will announce their support for the re-election of President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, another constituency will also be making its way to New York with a very different agenda.
Anti-war organizations have been planning for several months to organize the largest anti-war rally in U.S. history. And thousands of these Blame America First organizers have already arrived in New York, conducting meetings on how to disrupt the Republican National Convention and sabotage the message of support for our troops and the war on terrorism.
By the time the convention starts, organizers hope to have upwards of 1 Million anti-war protestors on hand to disrupt the convention including promises of acts of civil disobedience and violence.
The pro-troop/pro-war-on-terrorism organization, Move America Forward [website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org], has been monitoring these groups and their intentions to capture the media spotlight.
Over 15,000 members of the news media from throughout the U.S. and the world are expected to be on hand to cover the Republican National Convention, giving anti-war protestors an international audience for their message. And one can be sure the news media will be all too willing to cover the protests.
These organizations represent the most disturbing elements of the Bash America crowd and they clearly are determined to use these protests to attract international media coverage for the anti-war movement, declared Move America Forward Chairman, Howard Kaloogian.
Kaloogian, a three-term Republican representative in the California legislature who also chaired the Recall Gray Davis Committee says its time to fight back with a message of support for our troops and the war on terrorism.
The stakes are high for our nation and the choices we will make when it comes to fighting the terrorist threat. We cannot allow the fringe of this country to break down public support for our military and the morale of our troops the way they did during the Vietnam War.
How Move America Forward Plans to Fight Back
Move America Forward has produced a series of television ads, with more in production, that they will begin airing in late August, during the Republican National Convention and throughout the month of September.
The ads urge Americans to stand united in support of our troops and the war on terrorism. You can view the ads at the Move America Forward website by clicking this link: http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org/?Page=AdCampaign
We have to realize that this is a battle for the hearts and minds of the American public. And since we know the news media will be sympathetic to the message of the anti-war crowd, we will have to broadcast our message direct and unfiltered to the public through the use of television and radio commercials, said Kaloogian.
Kaloogian says Move America Forward is on a fundraising push for the next several weeks to reach their goal of over $5 million for their national television and radio ad blitz. The group is asking for help from Americans who want to see another voice to balance the lopsided coverage from the mainstream media.
Weve done smaller advertising buys to date, having raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, but now the stakes are being raised and we must be ready to respond to the Blame America First crowd at every turn.

I agree. They need to plan how they will deal with these idiots right now.
Set up survailance cameras and send the tapes to World Net Daily, FOX, and FBI.
Sorry but if Reps want to go to NY during the convention they should go there as tourists and not protesters.
Let America see the protesters/scum of the earth that supports the Dem party.
Let those protesters/scum destroy private property and attack the police.
Do you really want to be in a fight with those scum with a press there that will surely turn the table on US reps?
I think long and hard about becoming one of Dem protesters.
This stupid crap will do nothing but hurt the Dummycraps.

Not likely, we've topped ninety only once this summer. The greater liklihood is a Bermuda High condition...80-85, sunny, dry. The only condition that would alter this typical late summer weather would be another tropical depression moving up the coast, and there are none developing.
A million?
Only a million?
How 'bout two million?
Maybe ten million!!!
Let me know when they all show up. LMAO
If they get over 5k I would be surprised...
Of course knowing Soros and company, they could probably get a few unemployed actors to come out for the "right price!"
These idiots are going to get people killed.
And .. if the terrorists take advantage of this - the MSM will blame Bush .. no doubt .. while the MSM is whining that the FBI is investigating these people and trying to find out what their plans are ahead of time.
However, I wonder if the Bush-haters have taken into account that if they cause an attack .. it will only rally the Bush SUPPORTERS to re-elected Bush in an even bigger landslide margin.
If they coolunt as well as the million man march then perhaps they will have a few thousand...I just hope that NYPD keeps these maroons bottled up in their Bostonian cages....Anarchists are soooo stupid
Sean has been talking about this a lot lately. He had a few of the leaders of these protests on, tried to make them say they wouldn't endorse violence. The hypocrites wouldn't do it.
Sean says that all hell is going to break loose in NYC come the convention, and Bloomberg better wake up and smell the coffee.
Just hang a 100 foot high COMMUNISTS FOR KERRY banner from the side of a building. Let the entire world see it.
I thought it was an invitation to the mindles hoards.
"There will be so many protests," says Flores-Williams, snapping his fingers. "Here, 5,000. Here, 500. Popping off in all these different places. The cops will be stretched thin. Tempers will rise. All hell will break loose. That's what everybody wants -- they just won't admit it."
A couple of butt buddies thought this crap up over a couple glasses of chardonnay. No doubt out-of-work "actors", or perhaps modern dancers. Get a life.
No mention has been made yet of the possible repercussions this will cause in the event of an attack by terrorists. So many police officers are already going to be there providing control against stated intentions of our enemies attacking us in the near future. Golly, an extra 100,000+ people milling on the streets around the Convention will be a REALLY big help, won't it? This could cause terrible problems. Of course, since it's a Republican Convention, why would Tom Hayden or any of those other has-beens be concerned? They want to disrupt - they will disrupt. Everybody else be damned.
It would be the first time many of them have had a bath in years.
good, we can burn down Santa Cruz when its empty
They didn't dare hold it in Texas. We're the ones that are locked and loaded, with CCPs. They really don't want to 'mess' with Texans. We have a low tolerance for commies, leftists, terrorists and war protestors.
