The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us this Monday, October 11, outside the MCI Center as we freep the pro-Kerry Vote for Change concert tour's grand finale, aka Saddam-Aid 2004.
The sold-out concert (about 18,000 seats) features 13 of the acts that started touring this week as a benefit for America Coming Together. The tour is sponsored by MoveOn Pac. The acts playing the MCI Center are: Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Dave Matthews Band, the Dixie Chicks, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, John Fogerty, John Mellencamp, Jurassic 5, Keb' Mo', Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Pearl Jam, and R.E.M.
MoveOn Pac is employing a media blitz for this show. It will be shown live on the Sundance Channel and will be carried on satellite radio as well as on the internet. They are trying to get broadcast radio interested in airing it live, also. They are encouraging their members to have house parties that night.
The D.C. Chapter will be joined by members of Vietnam Veterans for the Truth in this demonstration. We intend to have alot of fun with this, but we will have a very serious point: That John Kerry and the Democrats can not be trusted to protect America.
When: Monday, October 11 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the latest (show starts at 7 p.m.)
Where: The sidewalk in front of 650 F Street, NW, Washington, D.C., across the street from the MCI Center's main entrance.
Bring: Signs, banners and American flags.
Subjects: Kerry, Edwards, the 'Rats, the musicians, MoveOn, ACT, etc., are all fair game for freeping.
Pro-Bush and pro-Operation Iraqi Freedom signs will be most welcomed by us.
Metro: Take the Red, Green or Yellow lines to the Gallery Place/Chinatown station. Exit on the F Street side. Please note, the Red line will not be running between Union Station and Fort Totten that day.
Parking: Street parking will be tight, but meters and weekday restrictions will be lifted for the Columbus Day holiday. Several pay parking garages are nearby.
This is a permitted 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.
We're in for two!
bttt
Interisting Freep.
Yes it might be fun.
LOL! Go-get-'em Bump!
(I'll be stuck in Richmond doing tax returns...)
OK
You guys be careful out there....... those idiots are dangerous and have no respect for anyone or anything.....
Certainly would love it if Laura Ingram could show up with her book, "Shut Up And Sing". BTW, I volunteer to pick her up over in Georgetown.
Sounds like a good thing to put on a MOAB! LOL!
I'm not going to post their announcement here; you can check the link and see what it is.
Funny that the Billionaires are trying to make a big deal about Bush being supported by the super rich when the likes of George Soros, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Moore, that Windows guy, Babs Streisand, and other moneyed elite are all kissing the ring of super rich gigolo John Effin' Kerry.
It's a good thing that Kristinn has a permitted corner for our message to be broadcast from.
Why do I have the feeling that the DC cops will try to put the Billionaires on our corner?
isnt ROCK FOR LIFE also protesting this same event??? it owuld be loively to have a couple thousand protesters out there and get some media coverage!!
are you coming raoul ?
are you coming doctor raoul ?
I think we'll be okay. Our permit is for across the street. There will be plenty of LEOs. The worst I expect is some screaming and cussing by the Kerry supporters.
I believe the good doctor will be in attendance. tgslTakoma is working on a MOAB. The weather forcast is still good for tomorrow, but bring a jacket for after sunset.
Rock for Life will be there. I believe their numbers will be similar to ours ( a few dozen.)
Never underestimate the anger and the violent tendencies of the left.
The Limosine Liberals and Leftists will definitely know our message. The literate ones, anyway.
Basil, this is one MOAB that Kristinn will have to help hold up.
Doctor Raoul, ready your capital "W" again.
BTTT !!
