"You Don't Speak For Me, Cindy" bus tour comes to Denver
Eye Witness | September 21, 2005 | Jan in Colorado

Posted on 09/21/2005 11:39:13 PM PDT by jan in Colorado

Late last night I was pinged that Move America Forward will be in Denver on Wednesday at noon. After a lot of scrambling, arrangements were made so that I could go and the President of the Longmont Republican Roundtable agreed to come with me.

A few blocks before arriving at the Capitol,
I see a bus that obviously belongs to the enemy.
I still haven't figured out how Al Qaeda got a bus into Denver.

We were blessed with nice weather, and I was hoping for a great turnout.

I met FReeper ajolympian2004 and he unveiled an awesome poster he just had made for the rally. He will post a picture of it later.

I met several women who were with a group known as the Rocky Mountain Military moms.

with the banner we all signed for the troops!.

Deborah Johns and Goldstar dad Joe Williams were being interviewed on The Mike Rosen radio show, so everyone enjoyed getting acquainted until the bus arrived.With much anticipation and excitement someone in the crowd yelled,

"There's the bus," which resulted in a lot of screaming, flag waving and celebrating

We said The Pledge of Allegiance

and sang The Star-Spangled Banner

Sal Russo and ajolympian2004
holding a banner Move America Forward brought for supporters of the troops to sign.

Okay...Good to hear that! :-)

Seems rather odd to use the evil-Mr. Burns-frog pic for an honest excellent achievement, though... I don't see Jan as much like Mr. Burns!!!

Then again, I don't know...this one might be even worse... ;-)

In any case, WAY TO GO, JAN & CO!!!

Now is the time for all good men and women
to come to the aid of our country
and show support for our service men and women.




Let's keep this, and every Support the Troops,
thread bumped from now until Monday.

The morale and well being of our troops is at stake.

The only other threads,
of any REAL importance,
over the weekend,
are the Hurricane threads
in the Gulf coast states.

And the importance of the troops
is evident by the military AND fire, police, EMT's etc
being called upon, again, to save Americans.

The politicians and judges are safe,
this weekend,
and every weekend,
because the military protect our Freedom 24/7 365
AND fire, police, EMT's etc are on call 24/7 365




You do not have to be in DC to show support for the Troops.

Visit your local military base today and at least once a week.

Or a military or veteran hospital.

If you can't do that then send an e-mail or package
to our troops for morale support.

Proud Patriots -
Sending care packages,
e-mails, and snail mail
to US Military worldwide.

http://www.proudpatriots.org

We need coast to coast support for the troops, now, more than ever.

Thank you Former Dodger, but I'll pass "our" frog to Deborah Johns and Gold Star Dad Joe Williams.They are so inspirational.

The media enjoys reporting the vile and hate coming from the hate America crowd. It is sickening and the pleasure they derive from reporting the negative makes me sick!Talk about aiding and abetting the enemy.How do these people look at themselves in the mirror? I guess that's it....they DON'T!

To hear these military parents speak with pride about their children who are serving and the love they have for this GREAT Country, makes me so proud to be an American, and made me so glad that I was there yesterday to show them that yes, we do support our troops AND their mission!

OK, Gondring, NO MORE frog pictures!

If you take a look at the picture Former Dodger posted, you may "see" that "our" frog is clapping his...Hmmm...I guess those are legs...hands...? You get the idea. That is the "excellent" post award for our ping group. I don't even know who Mr. Burns is, but I know FD was just telling me, "Great Job"

I may be an evil conservative...but that's for a different thread. Then there's my fight against Islam, but we won't go there, either, right? I know one thing we DO agree on is the support of the troops!

Oh, did I mention the Constitution?...

>>>I'm very sorry, but I cannot and will not be a party to such an outrageous rule!!<<

OK, OK, I give up! I can't win with you guys!

I was saying no more frog pictures from Gondring, since for some reason he was equating them with evil, and as an evil conservative, I want something a lot more threatening than a frog! ;o)

I was just trying to explain to Gondring that the hand clapping frog from Former Dodger was an award, not an insult.

You're right though...way too outrageous a rule. I will now use my prerogative as a woman and change my mind.

I had a great time! I was so impressed with the military moms there at the rally. It's such a shame that the media only reports one side of the story. The coverage that the foulmouthed, disgusting Ms Sheehan has received, versus the mothers that have the other point of view is unconscionable.
I guess we should be use to it by now, I just don't understand why the MSM HATES this Country so much!

MORE PICTURES

Are you saying you want MORE pictures? Be careful what you ask for. LOL

Yes, Tonk, thank you so much for saying that and for all you do!
Some say we are just bringing more attention to the protesters by standing up to them. That is the furthest thing from the TRUTH. It is that thinking that has given such a loud voice to the very vocal MINORITY. The majority has been complacent and silent for far too long.

We mistakenly think because we are a majority, or because our Country is the most powerful, that our Freedoms can't be taken away from us. It is happening right before our very eyes...look what the ACLU has accomplished just in the past few years.

It's time to wake up and fight back.It's time to hold the MSM and the liberals accountable for their blatant lies and misrepresentation.

Sorry for the rant...

I am so happy you were able to make the rally Jan. Great job!!

Great turn out for a spur of the moment event. Will they be sending the signed banners to our troops in Iraq and elsewhere?

I'll be laughing at the pic of the dhimmibus for the rest of the day. I wonder wassap, couldn't George Soros buy/rent/steal them a nicer set of wheels? Sheesh....

And check out the colors of their bus... We all know they are yellow ("Run away! Surrender to the terrorists now!")

But the telling thing is how their green is showing through on the front...

I wonder how long before we can see their commie pinko through that!

"America hating, race baiting, anti-military, hostile, hysterical communists"

Oops...I put your words in "quotes" in the post, but I forgot to put your name as the writer (which I did do in the other thread when I quoted you). So sorry...I'm glad we're FRiends and you won't hold it against me. ;o) These words are so descriptive and on target to describe the enemy from within, why mess with perfection?

Thanks again for pinging me to this event. It was so refreshing to hear Deborah Johns and Gold Star Dad Joe Williams speak. They were a breath of fresh air and the military moms I met were very thankful (just like those at Walter Reed) that we were there to support the troops.

We were very fortunate that we didn't have any of the anti Freedom crowd there. There were a few that looked like they may NOT be supporters, but they never said a word. I'm hoping to get to go counter the Freedom haters in Denver on Saturday.

Are you ready for the big weekend in DC? Oh, how I wish I could be there!

I think the banner the military moms were holding is going to be sent to one of their sons in Iraq. The Move America Forward banner will be displayed at the rally in DC this weekend and then sent to the troops.

LOL - I was only kidding you about being a plagiarist! That was why the big ;*))))))

I had noticed the credit you gave prior, which is not necessary.

I saw the photo of you with Deborah Johns and Joe Williams as I was stationed at command central with Kristinn and tgslTakoma. We all were happy for you!!!

We still have much to do tomorrow before the FReep. Excitement and exhaustion are already creeping in on us all. Kristinn has a phone growing from his ear as he does 5 or 6 things at once. It is an amazing experience to be a part of it all! I must say G'night my FRiend. We have people arriving from Maine, Indiana and S Carolina tomorrow. Takoma is working on a new MOAB for Saturday and I am assigned to making a new last minute sign. LOL - wait til you see them! Wish you could be here with us, but hey, Colorado needs FReeped, too!
