For those of you in the DC area, we need some additional FReepers to join us for FReeping Code Pink every Friday night, until further notice, starting at 6:30 pm (6 pm on Oct 28) and until about 9:30 pm. How about coming out this Friday? You can join us in progress if you can't make the beginning of the event.

Can you sacrifice an evening to honor the much greater sacrifice that the troops are making for our freedom?

DC Chapter co-leader kristinn has confirmed that we shall continue FReeping the Code Pinkos every Friday night until they stop their obscene blood dance outside the hospital of our war-wounded. If you agree with me that it is outrageous for Code Pinkos to demonstrate at a hospital with war-wounded troops inside, please come out and join us in a peaceful counter-protest.

One of the amputees told me months ago that he doesn't want other wounded troops coming into Walter Reed and seeing only the Code Pinkos at the gates. He explained that the FReeper presence there was extremely important to counter the Pinkos. Please join us and be a part of our peaceful counter-protest to Code Pink.

Please don't let the troops think that regular Americans are too busy with TV, ballgames, movies and other recreation to peacefully counter America-hating leftists.

Being there with us in spirit is great, but we need people to hold the MOAB (Mother of all banners), other signs, and flags. Maybe you can't come every week, but please make it your patriotic duty to join us at least once in the near future.

As always, the DC Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect.

Briefly, they are: No violence. No profanity. No racism. No provocations. Obey the law. Treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

Early start Oct 28 to prepare for Cindy Sheehan. Try to arrive as close to 6 pm as possible, will go to about 9:30 pm.

Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 7200 Georgia Ave., at Elder St., NW

Code Pinkos have been setting up on the southwest corner of the Georgia Ave/Elder St intersection. We've been setting up on the northeast corner across the street from Walter Reed's entrance gate. Now, their permit purportedly covers both corners on the west side of the street.

On street parking is usually easy to find, but might be a little harder is Sheehan brings her entourage. Location is about 6 or 7 blocks from Takoma metro station and is walkable, but it is best if you get a ride. If you want a ride, FReepmail me with your cell phone number or, if you have no cell phone, your ride request, preferable by 2 pm Eastern time, but at least by 4 pm Eastern.

DC Chapter ping! Please bump this thread to keep this on top of the latest posts.

FReepmail me or post a reply to get on the list. FReepmail me to get off the list.

Cindy Sheehan is supposed to be coming to Walter Reed at 7 pm, Oct 28. Join us in peacefully countering her.

Injured Walter Reed patients, including amputees, have repeatedly told us how important it is for us to be there to counter Code Pink.

If we can sufficiently outnumber the leftists often enough, embarrassment may cause the leftists to stop these outrageous morale-damaging ("Maimed for a lie" was one of their signs) demonstrations at the hospital.

Our troops are bold enough to face bullets, mortars, IEDs, and suicide bombers. Are you bold enough to get out from behind the keyboard, FReep in person, and stand up for the wounded troops at Walter Reed?

If you're in the DC area and don't have family or work considerations that keep you from FReeping, can you spare a few hours on a Friday night? Will you?

You've commented before that you might try to come to Walter Reed some Friday.

If you could get Fox to report the truth that Code Pink's own website now carries an article denouncing their tactics of war protests at a military hospital. See:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1510698/posts

This might be a good Friday to show up and watch Cindy Sheehan work the cameras.

If only the press would ask her Code Pinko handlers why the war protest at a hospital when their own web site includes an article, from the viewpoint of an anti-war wounded vet, condemning such tactics.

God speed tonight.

I love the larger banners...they show up at night, whereas the smaller signs do not. WE all love the MOAB! That one kicks butt! I know our troops love seeing that as they are bused in and out of the hospital.

Wish there were a way to light up the signs, ie., battery operated spotlights, or something. That would make a HUGE DIFFERENCE, shining the light of truth upon your mission to support our fabulous troops, their families, their mission and our President and nation.

I wish your staked out corners were so brightly lighted that every vehicle passing by could know EXACTLY what you are representing.

Thank you all for what you do...I hope cindy gets an eyeful, and an earful.

It would also be one great big bummer for the sick, truly soul sick communists.

I'm coming tonite just to see if Cindy scuttles away before our heros return from dinner. Do you have any odds that she'll be greeting the bus?

To all who live anywhere near the DC Chapter:

I've walked over 30 miles this week. My normal job is pretty much just sitting at a computer all day. But not this week. I've either been walking or standing all day, no sitting down. I've worn a pedometer to measure my distance and I've done at least 6 miles a day. Add to this the walk to the White House and the 2.5 hours there STANDING against the anti-American scum. My feet hurt badly and I've even got some blisters now.

And I'm going to be there again tonight to stand for another 3 hours!

I'm not seeking any sort of recognition for this. I'm challenging those who are anywhere near the DC area to be there tonight and every night the DC Chapter is out there standing up for America, the troops, and the mission. This is your duty as FReepers and as Americans. The leftist lies and their harrassment of our brave and heroic wounded (at Walter Reed) and defaming our dead (White House "Die In") can't go unchallenged.

If I can do it, so can you.

I'll see you there.

If we can sufficiently outnumber the leftists often enough, embarrassment may cause the leftists to stop these outrageous morale-damaging ("Maimed for a lie" was one of their commonly-used signs) demonstrations at the hospital. At the very least, we can hinder their psychological warfare operation against the wounded troops.

Spiff, you are one wild and crazy guy! Thanks for throwing a little AZ Cactus Spine into the mix!

Thank you DC Chapter and travelin' FReepers for the great job and keep up the good work.

I don't where this came from but I love this saying...

When faced with a large problem, solve any part of it you can, then look at the problem again.

That simple idea is how FReepers will win the day (and night) at Walter Reed. All it takes is to do something...anything... to be there! You made a difference the day you started and continue to do so every week you return. It sure feels great to be an American today!
