Announcing Free Republic's MARCH for JUSTICE II, April 7, 2005, Washington, D.C.!!
Free Republic | March 15, 2005 | Kristinn, Jim Robinson

In October 1998, Free Republic marched on Washington demanding the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Thanks to our efforts, Clinton was impeached less than two months later.

Then, as now, our country stood at a Constitutional crossroad. This year we stand at the crossroad of what kind of judiciary we will have: One that is restrained by the Constitution, or one that abridges our rights by making it up as they go along.

President Bush and the Republicans in the Senate are gearing up for a showdown with the Democrats over his judicial nominees. The Democrats have used the filibuster in an unprecedented way to block judicial nominees from getting an up or down vote. Republicans, led by Majority Leader Bill Frist are getting ready to employ the Constitutional option--most likely in mid-April.

A simple majority is needed to implement the Constitutional option. However, even with a 55 vote majority, a victory by the Republicans is in doubt. Democrats, unswayed by their ever-diminishing numbers in the Senate, have threatened to almost totally shut down the Senate if the Republicans succeed.

The Democrats are desperate because the judiciary is their last hope to force their liberal, unconstitutional agenda on the American people. If the filibuster is broken, they know that President Bush will be able to nominate and get confirmed Supreme Court justices in the mold of Scalia and Thomas. If the filibuster holds, we'll get justices like Anthony Kennedy who look to foreign law and opinion to support their unconstitutional rulings.

Therefore, in order to support President Bush's judicial nominees, and to put the Senate and the courts on notice that We the People demand the Constitution be respected and maintained, we will march on Washington on Thursday, April 7, 2005.

We will rally at Upper Senate Park, directly across the Capitol between Constitution Avenue and Union Station, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Immediately after the rally, we will march on the offices of all 100 senators in groups of state citizens to impress upon them the seriousness of our cause.

We will be working to bring other conservative groups in to co-sponsor the rally. Speakers and co-sponsors will be announced as they confirm.

We will need to raise funds for the rally. The estimated cost is $8,000. Capitol Police rules do not allow us to seek donations at the rally, so we will have to raise the funds before. Click here to help out.

Lord willing, I'll be making the trip from California to D.C. for the rally. It's short notice, but this is too important to stand back. Our rights are at stake. Defend them now, or watch a justice like Anthony Kennedy look to foreign law and opinion one day to take away your Second Amendment and other rights.

I like the name for the rally and have always liked THAT name for the rally.

March For Justice I, was for me, quite moving. I will NEVER forget the feeling of empowerment and inspiration it gave me and so many others including the House Managers. After all those years as a grassroots conservative, we as a group, finally established a momentum that has continued ever since!

We're also hoping we can get delegates from all 50 states to the march. And we should bring the state flags from all states. The flags will help us organize by state for the march on the Senate offices. We want all 100 senators to hear from our people.

Great idea about the Flags

That's kinda the way I felt about it too. It would be great if we could be as successful this time around. And I think we can be if we can get Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Hannity and Rush talking it up for us and hopefully get a few senators on board.

"Well, we were thinking of calling it the "Red, White and Blue Revolution!" but thought we might be accused of vigilantism so backed off a bit. LOL"

You're kidding, right? I agree that a name like, "March for Justices" may work better. But when did you become SO wary of being connected to Six Degrees to Vigilantism because of the word "revolution"? Guess what old friend, that word gave you the freedom to create this web site, not to mention it would get much more media converage. Think exposure.

Suggestion, if you like that phrase, how about: "March for Judicial Restoration".

Well, I can think of a few other traitorous senators. Won't name names, but one is also known for driving off bridges while driving under the influence.
