ANNOUNCEMENT: D.C. CHAPTER TO HOLD PRO-BUSH DEMONSTRATIONS ALONG INAUGURAL PARADE 1/20/05
D.C. Chapter ^ | Sunday, November 21, 2004 | Kristinn

Posted on 11/21/2004 9:15:53 AM PST by kristinn

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all conservatives who share our jubilation with the re-election of President Bush and Vice President Cheney to join us in Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20, 2005, for a very special demonstration.

In order to help prevent a repeat of the leftist-led assaults and disruptions during the 2001 Inaugural parade, the D.C. Chapter applied for a demonstration permit with the U.S. Park Police last January for three key locations along the Inaugural Parade route on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Those locations are: The Navy Memorial, between 7th and 9th Streets, NW, where in 2001 leftists climbed the masts and tore down flags and pennants, replacing them with "anarchist" flags; Freedom Plaza, between 13th and 14th Streets, NW; and Pershing Park, between 14th and 15th Streets, NW.

Our goal is to give pro-Bush-Cheney people the opportunity to enjoy the parade and share fellowship with like-minded conservatives while holding demonstrations in support of the President and his conservative policies including pro-life, pro-2A, pro-military and pro-war-on-terrorists.

The D.C. Chapter is reaching out to other conservative groups, inviting them to join us in common cause that day. We recognize that not everyone agrees with every one of the President's policies, however we are asking those who stand with us to set aside those criticisms just for one day. There will be plenty of criticism from the left that day. Our job is to represent the 61 million Americans who voted in record numbers to give the President a mandate for his agenda.

Our plan is to have a 'salute to veterans' gathering at the Navy Memorial. Issue-oriented demonstrators will gather at Freedom Plaza. Pershing Park will be used as the D.C. Chapter's base of operations.

There will be plenty of law enforcement officers all along the parade route. Security checkpoints will be established that all who wish to stand along the parade will have to pass through. The leftists will do their best to ruin the President's day, but by conservatives coming out in large numbers at our permitted demonstration areas we can deny them ground from which to operate from. Several leftist groups have their own permit applications in so they should not be able to encroach on ours.

The D.C. Chapter's pro-Bush demonstration zones are set to be islands of peace from the angry leftists. We will not condone any provocations or violence.

Please bring American and service flags, along with signs supporting President Bush and our conservative agenda. The parade will run from about 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. However, people will be gathering along the parade route from early morning on through the afternoon.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for demonstrating 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.

All persons and groups participating in our permitted demonstration areas must agree to abide by our rules for civilized demonstrations.

Will the M.O.A.B. be available? Appropriately re-designed, of course!

It'll be terrific to see you and "Mr. Basil" again. I know what I'll be wearing on the parade route (very warm clothing - but still holding out hope for warm, dry weather), but I've got to get moving on what to wear for the Ball, if I'm going to make a gown. I found a few patterns for true ball gowns; now I need to price fabric. It may cost as much to make one as to buy one.

I'm buying my daughter and her best friend Ball tickets - early high school graduation gifts. (They already have ball gowns)

See you in 59 days!

We'll have DC to ourselves because all the whining Kerry supporters will either be in France or a therapy session on January 20th.

Dragged my crew to the last inauguration. I'll I had heard beforehand is that it will be loaded with protesters, so I was a bit nervous.

So we get out of the metro and the first thing I see is a bunch of punked out guys, spiked purple hair, spiked dog collars and leather jackets. My first thought was "oooooooh my goodness", then they turned around. The back of their jackets all had BUSH on them! We ended up having a great time.

Plan to go this year. Hope to see some freepers there

As for hotels, the State Plaza (my fave, all suites and inexpensive) is booked up. It has several sister hotels, one is the Washington Plaza, rooms are available but at $250 a night w/a 3 night minimum, plus big taxes, it's gonna cost you. Check out motels in VA ASAP - like the motels (Comfort Inn) near the Van Down Metro stop. I'm sure there will be space in Old Town Alexandria, with a walk to the Metro, like the Holiday Inn. You better book ASAP, though.

There are several Comfort Inns NOT near a metro station, but the price difference is worth it.

Then there's the Harrington Hotel, one block from Pennsylvania, like about 10th Street, but it's realllly crappy. The neighborhood is safe, though.

Do not book a DC hotel unless someone tells you the neighborhood is safe.

Left really don't care that we're comin',
Hoh-hoh-hoah.
We know that it's only they're weak of spine. Oh, oh, oh.
Ooh~ooh~ooh~ooh.

If you come down to the FReep today, Lurkers, you'd better...
You'd better open your eyes!!! Whoah~ooh~oh yeah.
Folks down here really do care, really do care, Right cares, really do...
Which, which way Truth 'n' Justice li__es.

So I've decided what I'm gonna do now.
So I'm packin' my bags to join the DeeCee FReepers...
Where the Patriots go now.
Up to Capitol Hill where good spirits fl__y.
