Go volunteer at the VA that day instead.
Gee, how about a rally to oppose the possibility of Aliens taking over the planet. Morons.
Try to find a local protest warrior chapter. They are always willing to counter protest.
Gee ya think they could protest something relevant
Like, oh! I don't know - How about the
Bombings in London Today!!
They can't be too well organized. Their website still has an article titled "Let the inspections work."
I live up north of town. My impression of this bunch, based on the little coverage I've seen accorded to them by the local media, is that there's not many of them, and that they're not well received.
I think a counter-protest could actually boost their notoriety. Better to let them remain the unnoticed losers they are.
Low volume ping list
FReepmail me to go on, or come off, this list.
jmq is requesting some FReeping help in Kansas City. Anyone interested?
You should have a counter-demonstration. If not, the local media will focus on these "peace" people. Besides, if you're not mad at Al Qaeda now, you never will be.
I applaud your post and your efforts. (For background, see my #20 and the included link to the Code Pink FReep.)
I suggest that you should prominently place the date, time, and specific location of the planned FReep in your post. Make it easy for people to get the needed info without having to follow a link.
An ideal location is close to the leftists, but separated from them by at least 15 feet and preferably by something, such as a street, a fence or hedge. By establishing a separation, you reduce the chances of things getting physical. Also, if there is some minor pushing or such, it will be clear to police that the leftists came over to your position, instead of you wading into their ranks.
You may also want to use FReepmail to exchange cellphone numbers with those FReepers who are attending. It can really help in coordinating last minute changes, such as police request that you move from the planned location to another one across and down the street.
Hope that you have a great and peaceful FReep!
The enemy attacks again and the 5th columnist, radical, hippie brown shirts are out 'protesting' not the terrorist but the victims.
Go for it! Even if you end up by yourself, go for it!
Take the biggest American flag you can carry and one sign with few words and large letters that lets passersby know which side you are on. (I love protest warrior signs!)
Seeing displays of support for our Troops always gives me a boost and I'm sure the recruiters would love it, especially since they cannot respond to the protesters!
I enlisted at the MEPS station near Union Station in 1987, Navy. As for the protesters, Wimpus Patheticas........losers

Those Peace Activists.... Look out.... they can be violent!~
too hot
My daughter is a senior at UT and loves living in Austin Tx. It is the hippy infested liberal center of Texas. The more liberal they are, the more conservative she becomes. She says "Hippies Smell" and some times they are waiters. She finds them disgusting and smelly and stupid. She says their bumper stickers are dumb and they don't even make sense. It has opened her eyes. Plus, she has convinced other females she has met there to vote conservative. She is converting friends into being Republican. I am proud. She wanted a Conservative T-shirt that reads "I had my cat neutered, now he is a Liberal" but she said she was afraid the "peace" protestors might beat her up and she said that would just be too ironic for her!
Your heart is in the right place, but you give these peaceniks more importance than they deserve. You have better things to do with your valuable time.
