Join VCDL's "Prosecute Bloomberg" rally in DC!
The Virginia Citizen's Defense League (VCDL) ^ | 1/5/07 | The Virginia Citizen's Defense League (VCDL)

Posted on 01/06/2007 9:52:02 AM PST by 2nd amendment mama

Let me prefix this with the following new information - another Virginia gun dealer is going out of business thanks to Bloomberg: Franklin Rod & Tackle in Rocky Mount. Bloomberg's spokesman said quite piously a few months ago that Bloomberg didn't want to put gun dealers out of business.

We know better.

THE PROTEST IS ON!!

Maniacal New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his Mayors' Coalition Against Illegal Guns will be meeting for a one day "National Summit" at the DC Capitol Hilton (corner of 16th and K at 1001 16th Street NW) on Tuesday, January 23rd - see http://tinyurl.com/yxyvjg

Bloomy's summit runs from 9:30 AM until 2:30 PM followed by an evening reception at 5 PM at the Capitol Hilton.

VCDL's headquarters will be at the nearby Crowne Plaza Hotel at 14th and K, where at 2:00 PM we will rally members and hand out picket signs, and march on to the Capitol Hilton 2 blocks away to begin protesting.

Bloomberg is a threat to Virginia and all gun owners - we need VCDL members to show up in numbers on the 23rd in DC! Spouses, friends and kids welcome! Make a day of it and see some sights in the morning!

Here is the schedule of events:

1:30 PM: **Possible** Press Conference at the Crowne Plaza Hotel (14th & K) - we are investigating this right now

2:00 PM: Board Members Jim Snyder & Dennis O'Connor rally troops in front of the Crown Plaza and hand out picket signs.

2:15 PM: I will lead the march over to the Capitol Hilton, just as Bloomy and his anti-gun cronies are finishing their summit

2:30 - 5:30 PM: "Prosecute Bloomberg" rally outside the Capitol Hilton - we hope to have an especially large turnout at 5 PM when Bloomberg and his buddies are sipping white wine at their anti-gun reception inside the Capitol Hilton!

5:30 - ? PM: Post rally fellowship at a nearby restaurant or hotel (optional, pay as you go)

We anticipate lot's of press coverage and will be taking our own pictures and documentary films - we will have handouts for you to give the press, or interested passersby, to explain what we are doing. Try to point me out to the press if they come your way.

Logistics: Everyone needs to mapquest & plan their routes into downtown DC ahead of time to get there on time. If driving, arrive by 1 PM to find a place to park. If traveling by Metro, the McPherson Metro Station is closest to the Crown Plaza at 1400 I St. NW, Washington, DC (Blue * orange lines). **Bring water, warm clothing, and Guns Save Lives Buttons if you have them** - making your own sign is a plus but not required! If the Capitol Hilton staff blocks our access to the hotel for humanitarian bathroom use, we will **report them to the UN** ;-) . . . but , push-come-to-shove, we should all be able to use lobby bathrooms at the nearby Crowne Plaza. For overnight stays there are lots of hotels in DC, but hotels outside the beltway are probably cheaper.

RSVP: Send me an email if you can pledge to come - I would like to get a head-count. Officer Radzilowski of the DC police told me that VCDL does NOT need an assembly permit so long as the assembly does NOT block pedestrian or vehicular traffic on the sidewalks, cross walks, street, or entrance to the hotel.

Can you come after 2 PM? Of course, you are welcome at any time! But VCDL needs you at 2 PM through 5:30 PM if possible.

And if you live in Alexandria, Norfolk, or Petersburg, you REALLY need to come and try to button hole YOUR MAYOR who is part of Bloomberg's Mayors' Coalition Against Guns - and ask him why he is collaborating with someone who has conspired to break federal and Virginia laws.

We also need to have some (relatively clean) chants made up for each of these three mayors (like "Shame, shame on Mayor Fraim").

Special thanks to EM Mike Stollenwerk for heading up this effort!

OK, VCDL, ON TO DC!

If any of you DC Area Freepers can make it to this rally to support VCDL and tell the gun grabbers we won't put up with their illegal activities it would be wonderful.

And, folks, think about 2008. Guiliani is of one mind with Bloomberg on guns -- he wants to ban 'em. All. Everywhere.

So far, the Republicans have nothing but bad choices put forward for 2008.

Appropriate that this meeting takes place in DC, where very strict gun laws are in place. And of course, banning the citizenry from gun ownership has led to a total eradication of gun violence in that municipality. D'Oh! It hasn't????

That's the wrong attitude to take! The time has come for us to stand up and be heard! We must become as radical as the founders of this great nation were in their day. We can't let the left get by with anything that will serve to disarm us.

I am going to try to go to DC for this. How many here will join me?

I can't stress how important it is that we stand up and be counted in this moment of peril in our history!

He does? It'd be interesting to read a quotation of him making that statement.

"Unfortunately, Rudy Giuliani is a proponent of gun control who supported the Brady Bill and the Assault Weapon Ban.

Do Republicans really want to abandon their strong 2nd Amendment stance by selecting a pro-gun control nominee?"

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=16762

Also, Rudy is in favor of ILLEGAL immigration and partial-birth infanticide.

"When Congress enacted immigration reform laws that forbade local governments from barring employees from cooperating with the INS, Mayor Rudy Giuliani filed suit against the feds in 1997.

He was rebuffed by two lower courts, which ruled that the sanctuary order amounted to special treatment for illegal aliens and were nothing more than an unlawful effort to flaunt federal enforcement efforts against illegal aliens. In January 2000, the Supreme Court rejected his appeal, but Giuliani vowed to ignore the law."
excerpt http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=1886

On PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION:

http://www.ontheissues.org/Rudy_Giuliani.htm

Pro-choice; no ban on partial-birth abortions. (Dec 1999)

Rep. Duncan Hunter is a good man. I hope FReepers will make him a household name.

Here's a quote by Hunter: "I believe in a strong national defense, a strong and enforceable border, a two-way street on trade."


AND

from: http://www.issues2002.org/CA/Duncan_Hunter.htm

Here's just a couple of his conservative position on the issues from above link:

Rated 0% by NARAL, indicating a pro-life voting record. (Dec 2003)


Rated 100% by FAIR, indicating a voting record restricting immigration. (Dec 2003)

From today's New York Post:

City's war on colon cancer

>>The Bloomberg administration is making an all-out push [LOL] to prevent colon cancer, with a plan to double the number of screenings over the next five years, The Post has learned.

[snip]

>>"There is much more that we can and must do to significantly expand the use of colonoscopy," said Lynn Silver, the city Health Department's assistant commissioner for chronic-disease prevention. ---Carl Campanile<<

Going where no mayor has gone before. He won on smoking, he won on trans-fats, he won on having high blood sugar reported to the city government. We will all be healthy but infantilized. What next? We have almost three more years of this.

He is a menace to liberty.

I am proud to say that not only have I never voted for Bumbleberg, but I have never even gotten a signature for him! I absolutely refused.

I really don't understand Rudy - when he was younger he wanted to be a priest and he USED TO BE PRO LIFE. Shame on him for abandoning his principals.
