For those of you in the DC area, we need some additional FReepers to join us for FReeping Code Pink every Friday night, until further notice, starting at 7:30 pm and until about 10 pm. How about coming out this Friday?

Can you sacrifice an evening to honor the much greater sacrifice that the troops are making for our freedom?

DC Chapter co-leader kristinn has confirmed that we shall continue FReeping the Code Pinkos every Friday night until they stop their obscene blood dance outside the hospital of our war-wounded. If you agree with me that it is outrageous for Code Pinkos to demonstrate at a hospital with war-wounded troops inside, please come out and join us in a peaceful counter-protest.

Please don't let the troops think that regular Americans are too busy with TV, ballgames, movies and other recreation to peacefully counter America-hating leftists.

Being there with us in spirit is great, but we need people to hold the MOAB (Mother of all banners), other signs, and flags. Maybe you can't come every week, but please make it your patriotic duty to join us at least once in the near future.

As always, the DC Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect.

Briefly, they are: No violence. No profanity. No racism. No provocations. Obey the law. Treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

Start at 7:30 pm and go to about 10 pm.

Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 7200 Georgia Ave., at Elder St., NW

Code Pinkos have been setting up on the southwest corner of the Georgia Ave/Elder St intersection. We've been setting up on the northeast corner across the street from Walter Reed's entrance gate.

Here is a thread that you might be interested in. I'll try to FReepmail you something else in the next day or so.

Mornin' bump.

BufordP and I talked with another guy who had pulled over in his car upon seeing our demonstration. He wanted to thank us and give us $$ for more signs. We accepted his thank yous, and offered our hearty thanks to him... he got back from Iraq in February after spending a year there, in Samarra. We talked for a bit about his work over there, his condition on arrival back in the states (no injuries, PTL), his opinion about their job over there and how the Iraqi civilians received them. His comments were very positive.

BufordP and I filled him in about Code Pink across the street from us, and we chatted with him for several minutes before exchanging our "thank yous," and heartily shaking his hand; and then he was off into the night.

We had more than a couple cars full of military folks give us whoops of encouragement, thumbs-ups, and horn honks with five-finger hand waves.

We did however, receive our requisite single-digit hand salute from an auto bound comrade of Code Pink about midway through the Freep. They just can't help showing their IQ to everybody.

I'm not sure there trying to show you there IQ. I think there trying to indicate their number of functioning brain cells.

The signs, flags and FReepers look great! It is evident the troops are getting the message by the positive responses you are getting.

Thank you DC FReepers!

Thanks, I'll try to drop by again this coming Friday if I'm still here. What you're doing is important, and it does make a difference.

Good report. Did you get a pic of the sign that said something like "troops shouldn't die for a lie"?

No, not even on my other photos.

In the photo of the leftists above, one person is on the ground behind the others. He or she is apparently making a sign, possibly the one you are thinking of.
