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.
Pleeeease tell me someone has a video clip of that loony Code Pink "spokesman" who constantly heckled us and "joined" our rally yesterday. Priceless stuff! ;-D
