Betrayal Of The Troops

Our troops expect to face enemy fire, BUT they do not expect nor deserve to be stabbed in the back and betrayed at home.

Please join us on March 10th in a show of support for our valiant and honorable soldiers in order to counter the treachery of Syracuse University and the Syracuse Peace Council.

Let’s show our troops that we support them.
Shame on Dr. Nancy Cantor and Bea Gonzalez of Syracuse University for endorsing and promoting this speaker and his betrayal of our troops.
Stand up and defend those serving in harm's way! Bring a sign or flag!
freepmail me for details...


Details From Syracuse University and the Syracuse Peace Council:

I was just thinking about the rally on the 19th, wondering if there was anything more about it. I was about to look for more info, when I noticed this ping! Good to see ANSWER punked out. :)

I might be able to make it to Fayetteville, I'm not sure.

[nina0113]

ping - we scared ANSWER off! Gotta love it.

[BillF]

You probably already are aware of this, but just in case, I'm pinging you to the thread.

San Jose "SUPPORT THE TROOPS" Rally ~ 19 March 2005

[Doctor Raoul]

Good job, remind me to buy you a beer.

[wallcrawlr]

Fayetteville. Heard you on Laura. good job on getting through.

[texasbluebell]

I just heard you on Laura I. too.

Laura said: Hey, we got a Freeper!

Before you mentioned FR, I was thinking, this is a really informed guy.

Then I realized why!

[bmwcyle]

Find a place and be there.

[firebrand]

How about "Osama and your mama"?

Here's your FREE 2005 Support the Troops Event material. The posters are in PDF format and are presized for 18 X 24 prints. All you have to do is download the files to your own floppy disk, then take the disk to Kinko's and have them print them up. Don't go to Kinko's and download them from there. You will have to buy a disk from them and pay for time on their computers. Don't buy color prints, they cost about $30 for 18 X 24. Pay for black and white which only costs $1.50 each! Kinko's prints 18 X 24s on large, floppy paper, not poster board! DOH! You may want to cut off any excess paper. You might also want to get something strong to attach the prints to. If its windy, they will be blown around and possibly rip. !!! Use at your own risk !!! Here's the link to the download site: http://www.conservativeimage.com/posters.htm

Alaska Freepers, scramble for intercept!

Gonna' Nuke the Bastards? (B-58 Hustler was a nuclear armed bomber. It was supersonic, the only supersonic bomber the US ever deployed (well other than the FB-11, made in the same plant in Ft. Worth) but was never armed with conventional weapons of any kind, except the 20mm defensive cannon in the tail. That entire "pod" under the aircraft, which was part fuel tank, part bomb, would be dropped onto the enemy.)

[El Gato]

Oops FB-11 Should be "FB-111".

[Cyber Liberty]

Hmmm....

They have a place on the website where you can "add your own event." Could be great sport....

[Mr. Silverback]

Ah, but the B-1 is supersonic as well...And yes, the Hustler was a heck of an airplane.
