Announcing Free Republic's MARCH for JUSTICE II, April 7, 2005, Washington, D.C.!!

Free Republic | March 15, 2005 | Kristinn, Jim Robinson

I recommend staying in the King Street/Old Town Alexandria area, just south of Crystal City and right on the Blue and Yellow Metro lines. There are plenty of hotels, which will likely be a bit cheaper than closer to downtown, and Old Town has tons of restaurants and historical sights. And it's only about a 20 minutes Metro ride into downtown.

Here's info on the Metro train/bus system, which includes a trip planner and visitor info: http://www.wmata.com

From another site:

"Eighty-two Percent of Voters Say Qualified Judges Should Get Up or Down Vote in Senate

A national, scientific survey of 800 registered voters reveals that an overwhelming majority of Americans believe that qualified candidates for our nation’s highest courts deserve and up or down vote in the in the US Senate. The survey further revealed that Americans want partisan politics removed from the judicial confirmation process and that our Judges should focus on applying existing laws and not attempt to make new law in the courtroom."

Given this, your march will be an absolute success if well advertised and funded. This statistic suggests that the only people on the other side of this question are the 10% or so of Americans who are extreme left wing socialists or communist. The majority of democrats are on your side according to the statistics.

(Question re: FReeper Car Caravan Into DC with stops at radio stations, newspapers along the way to build publicity and support)

"Where do we Georgians meet up with y'all?"

Eye -- at work on the plan, watch for a Caravan thread...

good so far but how about working in a campaign for term limits on SCOTUS? Levin thinks 12 years is a good idea and so do I----

[doug from upland]

I will try, JimRob. I'm trying to advance by four weeks a business meeting in Maryland so I can make it. If I can make the necessary changes, I'll be in Prince Frederick. Is anyone driving on the 7th from that vicinity to D.C.?

Thank You Freepers !!
$50 from Massachusetts - "I will certainly try to be there, if there turns out to be a buss from MA, I will definately be!"

Man, I sure wish I could be there. These jerk Democrats really have me some unhappy filibustering Bush's judicial appointments and then trying to make it sound like it is the appointees that are animals. Tis the 'RATS that are the wild critters spinnin' this cra* like they have.

At least we KNOW the truth. Hope it can be brought to light with this Freep!!

[doug from upland]

Yep, I called Hugh.
