Here's a hopeful BUMP that I can somehow get off of work and make the trip!
I am so excited that this is being planned! Go conservatives! Take back America!
Get the day off?
BTTT
Money sent. Wish we could be there.
I will be able to join the march. My calendar is marked.
Would be nice to make it. I figure it would be about $200 and 800 miles for me. If I can't, I'll be there in spirit and some cash.
Marking thread for when I get home.
Will try to do all I can to be there. If not, definitely will support monetraily!
I'm in and Budge, I can't wait to see you there.
I will be with you Lord willing, Jim. (camera in hand).
We need to get the protest warriors on thw with us. Who knows, maybe even Belly Girl will make it! We have a local group of Protest Warriors who might make the trip
Financial support bump.

I have sent the information to Laura Ingram.
There is no way I can participate in this most important march. However, Free Republic will receive a donation for sure. I am very proud to be a member of Free Republic and your plan is awesome. I will be there with you all in spirit.
We are SO in for this one. See ya there!
"You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being"
I cannot be present in person, but I shall be with you in spirit. If there is a support fund, please let us know how to contribute.
I saw Justice Scalia on CSpan a few days ago, speaking on the topic of interpreting the constitution. He made what I would consider an inarguable case in favor of Originalism. He also pointed out that the very terms of the present crisis - brought on by the (perhaps) well-intentioned fools who buy the "living document" fallacy - clearly indicate that the selection of judges has become instead a selection of the authors of a revised constitution.
This is, in iteslf, completely illegal. As you, I, and everyone else on FR knows, there are only two legal means for revising or re-writing the constitution: the amendment process; convening a constitutional convention.
Our federal representative legislature needs to be sharply reminded of this fact.
Go get 'em!

(Apologies to those that have already been pinged).Announcing Free Republic's MARCH for JUSTICE II,
April 7, 2005, Washington, D.C.!!Excerpt:
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.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.
