After getting folks all across the country on Free Republic and blogland excited and raring to go to D.C. for some reason or another having to do with John Kerry, Navy Chief has announced a NO GO.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have been asked by the highest authorities (No -- I will not expound) to not hold this Rally.
Although our actions and intent has been nothing but honorable, this effort will not serve our purposes.
My sincerest apologies for this but I must ask that we stand down...
I certainly hope the "highest authorities" know what they are doing and I don't like this anymore than anyone else but I must ask you to stand down.
We can however, return to our previous effort in getting the truth to media outlets, Congress, and other influencial organizations.
This was a great idea and I'm very disappointed -- I hope you will forgive me for this. I'm assured that all will be clear in time (yeah right).

It would have possibly turned off swing voters who'd see it as last minute dirty tricks (not knowing this thing has been brewing for months).
May I take this opportunity to thank you for your selfless service to our President all these years.
You need to get the Admin Moderator to correct the date.
Thanks for posting this.
Seems like they are running out of time for this "October Surprise".
Because you're too nice; the rest of us aren't; we've been played.
Thank you. Please update if this situation should change.
They need to make up their minds. I support SBVT but have been disappointed with the here again gone tomorrow postings in the last 72 hours. Can hurt credibility and blunt the effectiveness of what we're trying to accomplish.
Let's see their "proof."
How about a November surprise?
If he had anything that resembled proof I can assure everybody it would have been out by now... there would be no need for a "Rally" (this is what gave me pause to begin with... what was the point?)
It would only give the Dims Sunday to spin and Monday to try to refute it (Gov't offices closed on the weekends don't cha know!)
I'm not sure the Swift Vets had anything to do with this.
NC, you're an honorable and courageous man ... carry on.
I guess from the tone of the responses to the latest bin Laden tape, we have other things on the front burner...keeping Bush and his family safe, plus everybody else in the country.
String of colorful metaphors!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. That would be a very long month.
At the rate it seems to be going, it's looking like mid-November.
Doubt they have it in written form. The testimony of an unnamed secretary of the Navy won't cut it.
I feel like I've been watching snake oil being sold...
