I just heard this morning that Cindy Sheehan will be protesting/speaking/whining during the Blue Angels show at Brunswick NAS. She will be the guest liar for a protest scheduled for Saturday, September 10. Maine Veterans for Peace is sponsoring the protest. Link to original article is: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1473339/posts?page=1
I would like to get an idea as to who would be able to come out in support of our troops. Please freepmail me, or email me at islandsail@aol.com. In the meantime, I'll find out if she's actually going to show up, what permits we might need, etc.
Like many of my fellow conservatives here in Maine, I have seen my state overtaken and dragged into the gutter because of the "values" that this women claims to believe in. This is our chance to push back...! I'm guessing that, based upon the other Maine Vets for Peace protests I've seen, this will be a couple of dozen disorganized, irrational, liberal mouth-breathers. Let's show them what this state, and this country, think of their garbage!

Is she going to show at BNAS? If so, I'd like to be there to counter protest. Where are we all getting together?
I am from a city adjacent to Brunswick (Bath, ME - home of the Bath Iron Works) and a '68 grad of Bowdoin. Unfortunately I am living in exile in MA, but I have a cottage in West Bath. I am a Vietnam Vet(First of the Ninth Air Cav).

[First, I apologize for not being able to do an updated thread for this event. I'm under attack by a computer virus at the moment and it's making it nearly impossible to get anything done! )o:]
UPDATED INFO!
Everyone is being asked to
assemble on the outside edge of Brunswick Hannaford at 8am Saturday (tomorrow!). From there people will drive together to the rally spot by the base gate.
The following is excerpted from a freepmail by snowrip...
1.) Arguing with the protestors is pointless. Should they provoke you, merely smile at them and thank them for their service, compliment their earrings, or whatever. I don't expect any violence, but be prepared for anything; the "peace" movement has a reputation foe irrationality and tantrums, to say the least. There may be people among them whose ONLY motive is to stir up trouble. If a peacenik moves to push or strike you, try to get out of their way and notify police officials. Also, ask any witnesses to stay with you to verify the facts if you are actually assaulted. The ProtestWarrior group will be documenting all activity, and we have several people who will have cameras as well. The peaceniks dont like their pictures taken and often are repelled easily by a photo lens.
2.) This will be a long day
sunscreen, bottles of water, hats, and comfortable shoes are necessities. Given the heightened security and the nature of the event, Brunswick NAS will not allow any coolers, packs, etc. inside the gates, but we should be fine outside.
Lastly... it's going to be a beautiful day! I expect a great deal of support from the many civilian and military families, law enforcement, and veterans that will be attending the show. Please email me with any comments, questions, ideas or the like. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
For additional information please Freepmail Snowrip who I have to say has done a fantastic job talking to all the required people and getting ready for this rally! I wish I could join you - have fun and give 'em h*ll!!!
