Florida Freepers, an additional note:

It is likely that the Sheehadis will change or eliminate their planned visits to New Orleans. If I were them, I would consider adding other stops in the South. Considering the huge population of your battleground state, adding more Florida stops would make sense. STAY ALERT and report any intel to me by freepmail.

Thank you for your help, and give 'em hell.

This just shows how morally bankrupt the anti-war lunatics are. We have thousands of deaths (more than in Iraq) and these pinheads are trying to score political points during a natural disaster.

Ratz !......I'm in Illinois for a visit with my family.

I remember when we freeped Judge Sander Saul in Tallahassee during a critical judicial decision moment.

We freepers saw ourselves all afternoon on C-Spam the next day (Sunday).

Those were the (freeper) days, my friend.

A Sheehan freep is the next order from FR Supreme Headquarters in Florida!

To: davidosborne; All

for those of us who have stops in our areas,we need to know where they are going ot be stopping-here is an idea- call your police departments and fine out if moveon.org or other left groups have gotten permits to protest and assemble those dates. It is a long shot, I know.

This thread is for any FReepers out there that can participate. You can also call me (850) 933-8511




Another item some of you will find interesting, I'm sure:

Decorated Iraq Vet Announces Anti-Sheehan 'Tour To D.C.'

To: National Desk

Contact: Capt. Hiram Lewis, 304-692-1236; William Greene, President of RightMarch.com, 877-266-6596

CRAWFORD, Texas, August 31 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Hiram Lewis IV, currently a Captain and JAG officer in the West Virginia Army National Guard and a GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate from West Virginia, has begun his month-long "Meet With Hiram" campaign targeting anti-Bush and anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan.

"Together with the conservative activist organization RightMarch.com, I will be following Cindy Sheehan from Crawford, Texas, all the way to Washington, D.C., to demand a meeting with her," said Lewis. "If she refuses to meet with me as she begins her 'bus tour,' I will follow her and continue to demand a meeting until she agrees to talk with me face-to-face." Capt. Lewis is scheduled to speak at a large pro-troops rally in the nation's capital on September 26th, countering an anti-war/anti-Bush rally there on the same day.

Pledging to "dog her steps" until she meets with him, Lewis stated, "My mission is to persuade Cindy Sheehan to meet with an Iraq War Veteran such as myself and answer my questions about why she is encouraging the terrorists, endangering our men and women in uniform, and lowering troop morale." What's more, he said, "Sheehan's demand to meet with the President again will hold no water if she simultaneously refuses to meet with me and other Iraq war veterans."

Capt. Hiram Lewis, a decorated veteran of the War in Iraq, will be in Crawford, Texas, through Sept. 2 to launch his "Meet With Hiram" campaign targeting Cindy Sheehan, an anti-war protester he says is "determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory." Capt. Lewis has three objectives: First, he wants to offer heart-felt condolences for the loss of her son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who died as a hero in Baghdad on April 4, 2004. Second, Capt. Lewis wants to make sure Mrs. Sheehan supports what her son wanted to do -- see the job through in Iraq. Finally, Capt. Lewis wants to rally support to our continued success in Operation Iraqi Freedom while helping protesters understand how their efforts lower morale and endanger our troops' lives.

One idea is for someone like 'kristinn' to contact the American Legion folks to talk about a Free Republic / American Legion counter protest at each site of the bus tour. The American Legion just wrapped up it's annual convention in Hawaii and one of their press releases condemned the anti-war protests.

For your Florida counter protest:

American Legion: DEPARTMENT OF FLORIDA
LAWRENCE J WHITE, COMMANDER
JOHN D NEWSTREET, ADJUTANT
PO BOX 547859
ORLANDO, FL 32854-7859
PHONE: 407-295-2631
FAX: 407-299-0901
EMAIL: fl_mail@fllegion.newsouth.net
WEB: http://www.floridalegion.org

Read this press release from August 23rd, 2005: (Getting the 2.7 million members of the American Legion involved with the counter protests along with local Freepers will overwhelm any 'Cindy' moonbat turnout)

http://www.legion.org/?section=pub_relations&subsection=pr_listreleases&content=pr_press_release&id=303

Legionnaires Condemn War Protests, Pledge Support for President, Troops

HONOLULU, August 23, 2005 - Delegates to the nation’s largest wartime veterans organization meeting here in national convention today vowed to use whatever means necessary to ensure the united support of the American people for our troops and the global war on terrorism.

“Warriors, above all other people, pray for peace, for they must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war,” said Thomas P. Cadmus, national commander of The American Legion referring to Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s quote. “We had hoped that the lessons learned from the Vietnam War would be clear to our fellow citizens: public protests against the war here at home while our young men and women are in harm’s way on the other side of the globe only provide aid and comfort to our enemies. We understand that the terrorists they are engaging there would slit the throats of every American, adult and child, if they could.”

The resolution passed unanimously by 4,000 delegates to the annual event states: “The American Legion fully supports the President of the United States, the United States Congress and the men, women, and leadership of our armed forces as they are engaged in the global war on terrorism.”

“For many of us, the visions of Jane Fonda glibly spouting anti-American messages with the North Vietnamese and protestors denouncing our own forces four decades ago is forever etched in our memories,” Cadmus said. “We must never let that happen again. I assure you, The American Legion will stand against anyone and any group that would demoralize our troops, or worse, endanger their lives by encouraging terrorists to continue their cowardly attacks against freedom loving peoples.”

The measure recognizes that the global war on terrorism is as deadly as any war in which the United States has been previously engaged and that the President and Congress did authorize military actions in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

“No one respects the right to protest more than one who has fought for it, but we hope that Americans will present their views in correspondence to their elected officials rather than by public media events guaranteed to be picked up and used as tools of encouragement by our enemies,“ Cadmus said. “It would be tragic if the freedoms our veterans fought so valiantly to protect would be used against their successors today as they battle terrorists bent on our destruction.

“Let’s not repeat the mistakes of our past,” he added. ”I urge all Americans to rally around our armed forces and remember our fellow Americans who were viciously murdered on Sept. 11, 2001. We must commit ourselves to stand united together to defeat terrorism once and forever.”

The 2.7 million-member American Legion is the nation’s largest veterans organization.

After much discussion about this even my wife has decided NOT to attend this rally.

I will inform the Capital Police that our planned "Counter-Rally" is officially canceled.

We have decided to "sit this one out" and hopefully our silence will speak louder than words.

If you still plan to attend in "OPOSITION" of the group(s) that are permited to Rally on the Capital Property please notify the appropriate officials.

ONCE AGAIN THIS COUNTER-SHEEHAN EVENT is CANCELED.
