I just received a phone call from Kristinn!!

The DC Chapter of Protest Warriors obtained a permit for Code Pink’s side of the street today after the Pinko’s forgot to renew their permit. The blood dancers tried to stick it out for about 20-25 minutes before they tucked tail and retreated a block away to the closed entrance. Freepers and Protest Warriors now have all four corners outside the main entrance to WRAMC!

Yeah--that was a heck of a day! It was too bad that this incident happened--otherwise, it would have been perfect.

This thing was really close to my heart, because I spent a lot of time helping to put it together--and I'm sorry to admit that I was thinking the PW's were intruders, too, for a while!

I'd like to see that written in pink chalk on on a pink slip on the sidewalk next week.

We all missed you, gal; and we were worried about you. I'm glad to hear that you are OK. And honey, we're not going anywhere anytime soon. You drive so far in one day, for just a few hours - you deserved a little R and R. We'll see you next week.

It's almost become an expected thing to see FReepers outside the main gate of Walter Reed. I think soldiers, family members, friends, and employees look forward to seeing us there every week.

Even though Code Pink retreated down the street, we noticed that no "horn honks" went with them...and no we don't wonder why!

Music to MY ears!!

Just wow...

[freema]

Why do I imagine her face all red and blustery?

[bellas_sister]

This is GREAT news....


I thought I saw a thread title that said the DC chapter was asked to leave the area... I regret I didn't open the thread now.

It was the best night ever. Good weather, good pizza, good FRiends and sad PINKOS. Wouldn't have missed tonight for anything.

"I think soldiers, family members, friends, and employees look forward to seeing us there every week."

I think that must be THE biggest understatement I have EVER seen in my life.

You don't know what you mean to me.

And my son is healthy.

What Code Pink really saw.....

[CedarDave]

Yes, you did spend a lot of effort. And your publicizing it here on FR was what got me to drive all that distance to demonstrate on what had to be one of the hottest days of the year. And that evening, I went down Praire Chapel Road to demonstrate on the RIGHT side of the road, until a thunder/dust storm drove us to the cars. Good work by all involved!

[Apple Blossom]

Well said.

Almost every week we meet some great soldiers who come out and thank us for our support, a very humbling experience. Code Pink is so confused about what to do next. Each move is more embarassasing than the last.

Concretebob is my new hero. I don't hug just anyone. LOL

[freema]

Hot damn!
