The left is massing for their huge anti-war protest in Washington, DC, on September the 24th. This isn't about Cindy Sheehan. Led by the communist supported International A.N.S.W.E.R. group, the left believes this one massive protest will deliver a Vietnam style knockout blow to our president and the war effort.
This is their big "Vietnam war" protest of the current generation. Do not allow this group of America-hating hippies and misfits win the day for the terrorists. Do not allow them to destroy public support for the war as they did in the 60's. Do not allow them to demoralize our troops with their lies and anti-America communist propaganda!!
Over three thousand of us traveled to Crawford Texas last month and knocked the stuffings out of the Cindy Sheehan anti-war protest. Now I'm hoping we can do the same this time around. We need ten to twenty thousand freedom loving patriots to stand up for our troops and for America and tell these misguided leftists to go home!! We did not allow Cindy Sheehan to speak for us in Crawford and I'll be damned if we're gonna allow the communists to speak for us in Washington, DC!!
Do not allow this to become another Vietnam style defeat for America!! If you love your freedom, if you think as we do that defeating terrorism is a MUST DO and CAN DO task to preserve and defend our American way of life, and if you believe that we must stand up for America and our troops then please support our counterprotest efforts in Washington, DC!!
If you possibly can, please be there!! If you can't be there, then please support us with your posts, your letters to the editors and to your representatives and with your financial contributions.

Listed below are examples of some of the anti-America slogans found on A.N.S.W.E.R.'s call to action page for their protest:
The demands of the demonstrationWhile we organize around the demand for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal [surrender] of the U.S. from Iraq, it is essential that the movement show the connection between the war in Iraq and all the other fronts of the U.S. government's war for Empire, including the struggle of working and poor people in the United States. The demands for the demonstration include:
From Iraq to New Orleans, Fund People's Needs - Not the War Machine
Stop the War in Iraq
End Colonial Occupation from Iraq to Palestine to Haiti
Support the Palestinian People’s Right of Return
Stop the Threats Against Venezuela, Cuba, Iran & North Korea
U.S. out of the Philippines U.S. out of Puerto Rico
Bring all the troops home now
Stop the Racist, anti-Immigrant and anti-Labor Offensive at Home, Defend Civil Rights
Military Recruiters out of our schools & communities |
If the above doesn't tick you off, I don't know what will.
Do not allow the left to speak for you!!
Sheila, Chris, Syncro and I will be there. Hope to see you there too!!
May God bless and protect our troops.
May God continue to bless America!!
Bump!
