The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us in our nation's capital this weekend as we play a three game series against the liberals and leftists working to undermine America from within.
Friday, April 29, from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. we will gather at the northeast corner of Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW to counter Code Pink's so-called antiwar demonstration at the gates of Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Saturday, April 30, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. we will gather at the southeast corner of Connecticut Avenue and T Street, NW, across from the Washington Hilton for our seventh annual freep against liberal media bias outside the White House Correspondents Association dinner. Details here.
Sunday, May 1, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. we will gather on the sidewalk on the north side of Lafayette Park at 16th Street and H Street, NW to counter Code Pink's so-called antiwar rally in front of the White House.
For the counter-demonstrations against Code Pink, please bring American flags, signs bearing messages supporting our troops and their mission fighting the war on terrorists as well as signs informing the public about Code Pink's America hating Red roots.
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting 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.
The weather forecast for this weekend is for chances of rain Friday and Saturday, clear on Sunday. Temps in the 60s for most of the time we'll be out and about.
A note about Code Pink: The group is dedicating their Friday night protest at Walter Reed to "pay special tribute to Marla (Ruzicka) and all the Iraqis who have suffered from the violence of the war and occupation conducted in our name."
Their Sunday rally at Lafayette Park will mark the second anniversary of President Bush announcing the end of major combat operations in Iraq (and the birth of the terrorist insurgency cheered on and aided by Code Pink.)
Well I can do Friday Night, but I have to go out of town on Saturday for my cousin's wedding in North Carolina.
Awww... I'm so sorry we're going to miss you! Oh well, if the game gets rained out Friday night, maybe we can join you all there. If not, hope to see you again sometime soon, TBM. Best wishes to your cousin. :-)
Are those their Sex Toys ?
I guess if a weapons chache floats you boat it could be.
"Code Pink" sounds like it should be the title of the sex advice column in Hustler...
Another ping! ;-)
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my miscellaneous ping list.
Squews me, I don't get it.
If there not supporting our country, are they against it?
Just what do they want?
God Bless you sir. I wish I could attend this---please accept my apollogies. You have been a tireless warrior for years now. Thanks.
Although I don't know that they are Code Pink (it was an ANSWER event), they would certainly have fit right in with CP. Caption below photo is from my report.

This was one of 4 women organized as the Missile Chicks. Dancing as they sang "Shop in the Name of War," to the tune of "Stop in the Name of Love," the phallus-wearing women preceded the main march of leftists. Unclear if her missile's lack of enthusiasm in the right photo is from her seeing Sauropod's funny sign: NEO-CONS MAKE BETTER LOVERS.
LOL
What: "Mission Not Accomplished" Theater and Parade
Who: Victims and opportunists of Bush's criminal war, AND Peace Activists
Where: Lafayette Park and around the White House
When: May 1st, 1 to 3 p.m.
March with Bush as he leads a quirky parade of those who during this criminal war and occupation have gained - war profiteer, puppet Iraqi official, Osama Bin Laden, etc., and those who have lost - US soldier and Iraqi police, Iraqi woman, civilian casualty, member of the press, US citizen, torture victim, unemployed Iraqi, etc. during this criminal war and occupation. We'll gather at Lafayette Park, listen to Bush's delusional sound bites and then speak truth to his mis-use of power. Come as one of his collaborators or one of his casualties, and don't forget to bring a kazoo or your noise maker of choice for the parade around the White House.
Then change into your pink and join us for the next logical step - Stop the Next War Now!
What: A Party to launch CODEPINK' s latest book: Stop the Next War Now! Effective Responses to Violence and terrorism
When: Sunday, May 1st, 4 to 6 p.m.
Where: Mimi's American Bistro
2120 P Street, NW (near Dupont Circle)
Who: Helen Thomas, Phyllis Bennis, Andy Shallal and CODEPINK Co-founders Medea Benjamin, Jodie Evans and Gael Murphy and the wonderful men and women for Peace.
I have lots of photos from all three events; and BillF, Exit148, nutmeg and Staytrue each have photos from at least one of the three events.
Of all three days, I think I will have to vote for today being the most productive for us. I'll give you guys a little teaser...
Code Pink had a turnout today at Lafayette Park, across from the White House, for their "Mission Not Accomplished" protest/street theater event, of 22-25 people (and that is counting all the "actors" in the street theater ensemble). Freepers numbered 10 today, and because we are so used to doing battle outnumbered by several hundred to one, this was a cakewalk. ;-)
Gael Murphy, Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin and Allison Yorra were some unhappy menopausal broads; ending their "March around the White House" fifty feet after it began!
Kristinn is working on a three-in-one report and the rest of us are busily looking at our photos and video clips for uploading, too. I have some funny photos to share, maybe Freepers can exercise their "Caption This" skills, too.
YES! Today was the best -----AND, the most important!
Friday at Walter Reed Army Hospital, we simply took away some of their steam.
The Wash. press corps dinner is just plain fun. You get your message out, and you have fun doing it. It really is one of the Freep highlights of the year.
But, today --- real work was accomplished. On Friday, when Medea and Gael crossed the street to visit and chat with us, they were all smiles and trying to point out that we really are all alike in our concern for our veterans and the armed forces and lets all just get along and hold hands and sing Kum-ba-ya.
Well---- no pretenses today. There she was,(Medea) in her burka, spreading venom, and her co-horts play-acting in a shameful away. People who stopped by and asked what was going along, were mostly in our favor. Almost 10 to 1.
I want to add more, but it is late and the traffic was miserable coming home, so more comments tomorrow. But I will sleep well tonight, basking in the good job we did today!
Thank you for your early reports and thank you for doing this. Of course, looking for the big report.
It was nice to see Nofel again and meet his son Amar (hope I spelled their names correctly). They were an invaluable addition to our FReep yesterday. Code Pinko Queen Medea Benjamin was over there in her burka labelling herself as "an Iraqi citizen". Nofel pointed out that he is a genuine Iraqi citizen, and he is one of millions of Iraqis who is thankful that President Bush and our military freed 25 million Iraqi citizens.
Our unwavering chant, as we faced the Code Pink commies, led by Doctor Raoul and tgslTakoma (using Raoul's world's largest bullhorn): "8 million Iraqis gave you guys the finger!" (meaning the Purple Finger of Freedom) The DC Chapter FReepers had created foam "hands" that some of us wore, proudly displaying a purple finger.
I was so enthused by the many passers-by (mostly tourists taking pics of the White House, then us) who sided with us, especially the young dad holding his baby who came over to talk to us when our FReep got started. He told Kristinn and Raoul that he is in the military and just got home from serving several months in Iraq. He was thanking US for being out there yesterday. Good heavens... I made sure I said 'thank you' to him for HIS service to our country. What an honor... I feel so unworthy of these brave guys.
Although yesterday and Saturday night's WH Correspondents Assoc. dinner FReep was fun, we realize that you - tgslTakoma, Kristinn, Doctor Raoul and other DC Chapter FReepers who regularly plan and execute these rallies - usually face FAR more hostile situations in DC with these commies, and we again THANK YOU for being out there on the front lines for us. Yesterday's Code Pinko FReep was most certainly a "cakewalk" due to your unrelenting efforts over the past several years to counter their poisonous anti-American messages. They are definitely losing steam! :-)

Thanks for making the trip all the way down from Connecticut!
