All FReepers and lurkers in good standing are urged to join the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic this Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery as we stand up against the Fred Phelps led Westboro Baptist Church.
Phelps and his cult will be doing their "God Hates Fags," "God Loves Dead Soldiers" schtick on Memorial Drive near the entrance to the cemetery.
We'll gather in opposition to send a positive, patriotic message of gratitude to the families of the Fallen who will be arriving at Arlington for the wreath laying and speech by President Bush that morning.
An excerpt from the press release by Westboro Baptist Church:
Thursday, May 25,2006 NEWS RELEASE Thank God for lEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) God Himself Has Now Become America's Terrorist, Killing and Maiming American Troops in Strange Lands for Fag Sins. WBC to picket Arlington National Cemetery - at 10:15 a.m., Monday, May 29 - at Jefferson Davis Hwy. & Memorial Drive,Washington, D.C. (Virginia) - in religious protest warning: God is not mocked! Gal. 6:7. God Hates Fags! & Fag Enablers! Ergo, God hates the U.S.A. and Memorable Day idolatries.
The D.C. Chapter will arrive at 8 a.m. to get set up along Memorial Drive with the MOAB and our flags and signs. Parking at the cemetery is going to be tight, which is another reason to get there early. There is a Metro station at Arlington that is served by the Blue Line.
Please forward this announcement to those you know who would be interested in joining us Monday morning.
As always, the D.C. Chapters rules for demonstrating will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
I heard Phelps' wife on the Delaware radio station I listen to online about 20 minutes ago........these people have NO clue, none whatsoever.........
True, on one hand. On the other, they have devised a plan to live well by sueing those who try to attack them.
Don't know to find it. I will check later!
I know what you're saying.
I've warned folks about that and put a good bug in the ear of some folks in Seaford about the possibility, actually likelihood, of that happening.
Awesome! Go, girls!
Check #165! on this thread for picture of DC and FL Sister Freepers.
I you look familiar! Did you used to live in NY? Upstate? Near Webster?!!!
Good to see my family! Next trip, my turn to Freep! I will get Megan to her first Freep, too!
OK!!
Freepers like the cute young ones to come out too.
The guys get tired of looking at the Code Pinkos!
