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.
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?
I like the new MOAB better than the old one, much better construction.
Great work as always, Bill!
You guys rock. I can't wait to get out there again and help you out in supporting our brave troops. I'm sure that the Pinkos miss me too and I don't want to disappoint.
Great job BillF!
I hope the beautiful weather will bring out some extra folks tonight. See ya'll next week.
"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? 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?"
"Please bump this thread to keep this on top of the latest posts."
PING!
Bump!
I admit a bit of envy that Carol got an Airborne hat.
I can't be there tonight. I have church stuff going on. Lord willing, I will be there next week.
When we were setting up the support poles of the blue banner against Walter Reed's fence, Princess strolled by and said, "Are you aware that that's government property?" referring to the fence. ConcreteBob had obtained permission to hang our banners on the fences, and only a leftist would fail to grasp the difference between signs that disrespect the troops and the mission (such as the ones Code Pink hung on the fence for the first 40 weeks) and our signs, which say "WE HONOR OUR BRAVE TROOPS" and "WELCOME HOME, HEROES" at the entry gates where the soldiers and their families pass through.
Lefties always confuse First Amendment speech protection with the complete license to say anything indecent, uncivil, or deliberately false and misleading -- as if freedom gives them a pass to offend and vilify what others hold sacred, without any consequence.
Oh, well, poor Princess. After his gratuitous remark, we shot back, "Are you aware that that's a skirt you're wearing?"
I think he's trying to figure out why we would even notice it, or his shaved legs.
BTTT BillF
Thanks for the visit and letting all my FAVORITE FREEPERS know how it progresses here in Virginia.
See you all in a while...
It was a pleasure to see you at the FReep.
Hope that you can FReep at WR again soon.
It was great to have you at the FReep last week.
Hope that you can make it tonight and bring as many others as possible.
We have a number of regulars who are out of town.
At any rate, I look forward to seeing you again when you can make it.
Great report as usual Bill. I'm only disappointed that you are losing two regulars, and also that somebody didn't put the rear of God into the juveniles in black.
Hope that you can FReep with us again soon.
How about tonight and bring numerous friends?
Care to do your magic with any of the photos?
Great work as usual!
Thanks to the greatest FReepers supporting the finest men and women on the planet.
bttt.
dc FReepers rock!
God bless our troops.
Cheers - Dinah
