Okay people, we have another massive moonbat sighting coming up. People in the NC,GA, or SC areas are within driving distance of this "rally" It is on a Sunday afternoon. I plan to be in NC that weekend, but plan to leave in time to get to Aiken. Email me if you plan to go. I'd like to know if this will be a solo freep.

I'll try to make it
Why did this disappear from the Activism section of the sidebar?
FReeps here in Aiken are few and far between. We need all the help we can get.
I will try to make it, how can I recognize my fellow freepers?
You can start by eliminating the moonbats. They will be the ones with the lobotomy scars.

Further, Bursey is a Vietnam-War era vandal and ne'er-do-well:
