All Freepers and lurkers in good standing are invited to join the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic at our rally this Saturday afternoon in front of the White House to celebrate the Iraqi elections held this year.
The rally is being organized by D.C. Chapter member Iraqikurd and others in the chapter. He has invited speakers from the Iraqi and Muslim community including Sheikh Ahmed Subhi, Kamal Nawash (Free Muslims Coalition), and Suhaib Albaraniji.
The rally has been endorsed by the Iraq the Model blog (#1 voted mid-east blog).
Please join us as we celebrate freedom in Iraq, denounce terrorism and thank President Bush and America--especially those serving in the armed forces.
When: 12:30 p.m. Saturday, December 17, 2005
Where: Lafayette Park, in front of the White House, Washington, D.C.
Bring: American flags, service flags and Iraqi flags; signs bearing messages thanking President Bush and our troops, and with messages supporting free Iraq and denouncing terrorism.
Dress: Warm. It'll still be cold (but dry).
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for demonstrating will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no racism, no profanity, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
D.C. Chapter mega-ping!
What an absolutely GREAT day that will be and how wonderful you can participate in it. Thanks for all your efforts over these last several years.
I can really relate to that old song, "A Boy Named Sue."
LOL
Great effort guys.
I wish I could be with you today at the White House and later at Walter Reed.
Thanks for representing us.
Thanks, Peach. We'll be waving purple fingers!
Any chance this can be recorded and hosted so we can see it? I'm willing to bet there will be some inspiring messages from the speakers iraqikurd is assembling.
Sounds like a great FRiendly FReep! Would love to join you, but you'll have to settle for Mrs. Taxman and I being there in spirit for Iraq and President Bush.
FReegards to all my DC Chapter FRiends!
I'm wearing my purple turtleneck today and will ink my finger before I go out shopping and hope to get a lot of questions.
Wish I could join you all in D.C.; what a historic time.
Hi cf - I looked for the photo of your children with their purpled finger hands over here. Have you seen these?

Johnny Cash Super Bump!
I will be camping outside in Pennsylvania this weekend. Otherwise I would be there. My finger is purple. God Bless.
Freedom in Iraq PING!!
Thanks, kristinn, this is wonderful! Surely wish I could be there.
LOL
Saturday (24 hours): Abundant sunshine. Highs in the low 40s and lows in the upper 20s.
Not bad. That's almost a heat wave compared to some of the weather you have been getting.
This sounds like a good one. It would be great to hear some Iraqi's speak out.
Bump!
