There'll be more people on that bus than in mother sheehan's entire group(of 30) that "descended" on Washington.
How hard is it to figure out which view is most popular with American citizens?

Earthdweller--Our local TV station (WLFI channel 18, the CBS affiliate in Lafayette)--had a story about 30 moonbats from Purdue that will be headed to DC this weekend as well.

Please, please, please drown them out (or just drown them!) for me! I will be there in spirit as will many others of us.

I contacted the Indiana American Legion folks with the bus tour stop and rally info. Plus updated all the TV, radio and newspaper folks with the details of the Monument Circle location and time on Friday.

I wish I could be there.
We're preparing to ride out Rita, and pray that our home doesn't try to change to a different zip code while we're in it.
God bless our wonderful military and our president.

I'm here in Colorado. I have contacted a number of other groups in the Indianapolis area since my last posting though. It would be great to get a few hundred folks at one of these bus tour stops. Maybe you can call into talk radio and mention the rally at Monument Circle tomorrow afternoon.

Yesterday there was some twit with a huge HONOR OUR TROOPS placard pacing back and forth in front of the State House. Underneath that part that got everyone's attention was the usual litany: BUSH CONDI CHENEY LIED etc.

I won't be able to attend the support gathering on Monument Circle tomorrow but you may want to check to see if this jerk moves from his State House stakeout to protest where you are instead.

I wanted to make a reversable sign of my own that had an arrow on each side and the comment <----THAT GUY IS AN IDIOT----> (or something of that nature) I'd excercise my right to free speech, pace right along with him and change sides on the sign appropriately. Too bad I had to work. :o)

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.
