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 and until about 9:30 pm. How about coming out this Friday for the one year anniversary? 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?

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 protest a war 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.

Keeping the Pinkos away from the desirable locations at the gate of Walter Reed requires us to have enough people to occupy each of four corners.

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.

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

We've been setting up on all four corners at Walter Reed's entrance gate per our permits, whereas the Pinkos are barely visible about a block away (and out of any good location).

On street parking is usually easy to find. 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, preferably with your cell phone number as far in advance as possible. If you wait until Friday afternoon, I may be away from the computer.

This is a great re-cap and report. And thanks for the links to the Hilton; pleasant but pointed e-mails are on their way. You guys ROCK!

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.

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.

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

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

FReepmail me to get on or off the list.

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 some leftists to stop these outrageous morale-damaging ("Maimed for a lie" was one of their signs) demonstrations at the hospital. At the very least, we can peacefully and lawfully minimize the effect of their psych-ops against the troops.

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, work or medical considerations that keep you from FReeping, can you spare a few hours on a Friday night? Will you?

There are several additional upcoming activities to consider, beyond the usual Saturday afternoon FReeps at Olney, MD.

Fred Phelps and his cultists, best known for demonstrating against troops at their funerals, will be at Bethesda Naval Hospital on Saturday, April 29 from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm. FReepers will likely counter-protest, but details should follow later.

Later that day FReepers will gather to FReep the press and pundits gathering for the White House Correspondents Association dinner. Details should be posted in next few days, but the FReep will likely start in the late afternoon to early evening.

I quoted from you contact list for Hilton in the report above.

Have you gotten any feedback from them or do you know of others who have heard back from Hilton? What are the Hilton people saying?

Following the link that hipaatwo provided, and going deeper into the links there, I came across this. The same info is probably posted several times all over the Internet, but it bears repeating. Posted by Lisa at April 14, 2006 05:49 AM
And don’t forget that it’s not just “Hilton” hotels. The Hilton “family of hotels” includes: Conrad Hotels, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Hampton Hotels, Homewood Suites and Scandic Hotels.

I haven't checked to see if that's a complete and accurate list, so I hope someone will correct me if it's wrong.

Thank you for doing this each week, for seeing a job that needs to be done and just doing it.

Good morning bump!

Stealing a powerful quote from another thread (letter from a Marine recon member in Iraq):

It’s too bad many people don’t realize that and the same Marines have to return time and again to the same places to kill these people instead of an entire generation standing up to fight evil. I can’t complain though, because even if there aren’t lines at the recruiting stations, at least we’re getting all the stuff we need out here and we know we have the support of the majority of the population back home. That makes all the difference in the world!

AMAZING E-MAIL FROM MARINE IN IRAQ

Thanks for the ping, BillF. I've been told that we may also have some MilBloggers joining us at some point during the evening tonight, though many are planning to have dinner at Fran O'Brien's. Also, there are still a few places open, if you haven't registered to attend the first annual (hopefully) MilBlog Conference tomorrow, April 22nd, in downtown DC.
