A THANK YOU TO FREE REPUBLIC - "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" Tour

Move America Forward ^ | 08/28/2005 | Melanie Morgan - Howard Kaloogian

[Impeach98]

Last night Melanie Morgan, Howard Kaloogian and a couple others (including myself) all had dinner in Dallas, Texas following the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" Tour and rally in Crawford, Texas organized by Move America Forward and Free Republic.

Howard and Melanie wanted to figure out the best ways to thank Free Republic. They're thinking about sending out a letter, calling individual FReepers and a couple other steps since Free Republic once again played such a crucial role in fighting for the side of freedom, liberty, and support for our country's national security, values and heritage.

I suggested Howard and Mel do a post here at FR. Daunted by trying to figure out how to log in and make a post (with or without html) they instead asked if I could post something for them. So I told them to draft something up and email it to me and I'd get it up.

I'm sitting here at a Starbucks en route back to Sacramento aboard the motorhome we drove Deborah Johns in (along the caravan route). And in checking my email I found the following....

Message to Free Republic Members,

Once again you have proven yourselves to be the most reliable foot soldiers in the conservative movement.

No matter where or when, no matter how daunting the challenge, we know we can count on Free Republic members to be at the ready to do what it takes to fight for the cause of freedom and liberty.

Your commitment to activism begins at the top of your network and extends to all members. We were so delighted to have Free Republic's founder, Jim Robinson and his wife, make the trek from Fresno down to Crawford with us.

Your members spread the word of the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" Tour to friends, family members and co-workers. You called the news media on our behalf to insist that they cover our activities. You came out to greet us and cheer us on - even when we were running hours late, and despite the fact that often we gave you little advance notice of our arrival into town.

And so many Free Republic Members came out to join the caravan and the giant pro-troop rally in Crawford, Texas on Saturday.

There is a special thanks to the crew that was in Crawford in advance of the event -- doing the hard work of getting our site ready, helping with the program, providing food and beverage, and all the other great amenities that are too numerous to mention here.

It is no exaggeration to say that we could never have achieved the success we had on this trip without your direct participation, assistance and leadership. Our troops serving in the U.S. military and their families have once again been well served by your commitment to the principles that unite your membership.

Please accept this email as just one of many ways we wish to express our deepest appreciation for your help and admiration for your solid adherence to your beliefs. May you continue to speak out, take action and help move America forward without hesitation into the future.

Sincerely yours,

Melanie Morgan & Howard Kaloogian
Co-Chairs, Move America Forward

Indy Pendance liked your picture so much that there is an entire thread just for it. Caption Sheehan

"I know diddly squat about video cameras but would love to see a humorous take done on the absolute phoniness of the anti-war crowd's machinations in collusion with the MSM at this event that tried to give us one impression when (don't look behind the curtain) all the time...voila! "Cindy, Cindy, can we just take that over again...just move your hand here...can you cry a little?" MORONS! They got caught."

Sounds like we could so some damage at these events with a camcorder with a telephoto lens (or whatever). Used discretely.

Lovely message.

Thank you Move America Forward!! Like thousands of us here who weren't able to make it, since we live much to far and couldn't get the time, I appreciate all Move America Forward does for the conservative movement, which is why I am a donor/member.

Thanks to all of you who did attend, as well! You all came through in a huge way! Very Impressive! And thank you JimRob, for making the trip, for FR and for ALL you do!!

[gidget7]

Thank you basil, for doing such a great job of keeping us informed throughout the event!!

Thanks for confronting the Media. Know that the Bush Administration is taking the fight to the enemy in the War on Terror by forging a New set of dynamics here in Israel (Working for US Govt here). Cindiy and her Ilk are blight on an otherwise decent society of good people.

..Move America Forward..

..the real heroes, of course, Are the Armed Forces Members fighting for US (and our hopes/values :) thought-out the world...Our "Homebound Organizations" can only hope to "Help out"...Many thanks to All those involved. :)

[skinkinthegrass]

Nothing spontaneous about it, is there?

HEHEHE...of course, it was staged. You can trust the LMSM/Lberals to "pump-up" her numbers, while grossly uncounting the Pro-GWB rally. :)

Makes me sick.

That doesn't surprise me! Last Monday I joined the Caravan in Vacaville and followed it to Sacramento where it stopped at a local TV Channel. There were about 20+ anti-American protesters on the opposite side of the streets and the cameras swooped in to the center of the small group and couldn't get enough footage. There were many more of those supporting the troops and their mission, but even in our crowd, the cameras were focused on the anti-Americans that came over onto our side spewing forth their garbage.
One camera woman was filming a worn-out old hippie carrying some ridiculous sign and I said loudly, within her earshot, "Boy, the cameras really love the anti-war protesters." She turned around and gave me the dirtiest look. I said to her, "Well, it's true," and walked away.

I think what you said is a great slogan: "We will not allow another generation of heroes to be forsaken."

Hope you don't mind if I use it in my tagline (giving you the credit, of course).

[bethtopaz]

I am so grateful to be a part of a great national movement of Patriots standing strong against the Enemies of America Within the Borders, while our Brave Troops fight the Enemy Abroad.

Can you imagine what it would have been like if our Founding Fathers had had Free Republic?

[bethtopaz]

It reminds me of John Kerry (who was in Vietnam, by the way) and how he would re-enact scenes and have his comrades film him. After the last filming, he said, "Well, that's a wrap -- see you guys in 30 years (at the Democratic National Convention - when he would be nominated to run for Prez). It was always about him. Just as this is all about Cindy.

Someone rightly commented today, "I think she's having an identity crisis."

These Ladies are class personified.

Thank You

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in a pretty and well preserved body; but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "Wow ---- What a ride!!!"

[PGalt]

Thank you all for all you do!!!

Worth repeating.

[enviros_kill]

FUNNY!!!

[injin]

isn't it about time for all the good people out George Bush's
road to spread their fields with fresh manure?
Surely there is a nice big feedlot around that would like to donate.
