The purpose of this thread will be to pool our resources and ideas to counter the attempted take-over of our nation’s capital and foreign policy.
It is not the place to voice your disgust with those that feel it is necessary to present a street presence to counter the dregs of society seeking to undermine and destroy our country and our leadership. If that is your purpose, please move along.
On January 27, 2007, Thunder90 posted a thread to advise us of the next convergence on our nations capital by the anti-American hate-mongers. This gives us SEVEN WEEKS to organize and strategerize.
While reading Thuder90’s thread and the AAR from the DC Chapter’s counter demonstration last Saturday, January 27th, you will find inquiries in regard to transportation, hotels, metro lines and the like. There were also a number of Freepmails discussing these issues.
For those interested in making our presence known in Washington, DC on March 17, 2007 please feel free to offer what you can.
· If you are driving and have room for others, let us know the general vicinity you will begin the trip. I have an offer now of someone willing to pay for half the gas to share a ride.
· We already have offers of rooms/beds for those that need a place to stay. We can always use more!
· Perhaps you can rally enough interest in your area that renting a van or chartering a bus would be worthwhile. Let us know and we will see if that can be arranged.
· Those that live in the greater DC area or will have a vehicle at your disposal may be able to help shuttle folks from hotels or metro stations.
· We may need wheel chairs and those to push them.
· Those that have blogs, talk shows, columns or access to others that do – please share!
Any specifics should be discussed via FReepmail!

There are no formal plans at this time. Why plan a big rally/counterdemonstration if no one plans to attend?
Rest assured the DC Chapter faithful, with assistance from local citizens and troops, will be in DC on March 17th between 11:00 AM and however long it takes to ensure our presence is known.
The question is – WILL YOU BE THERE?
Cool!
You make some good points. One can only fill a given area with so many people. Crowd estimates for one thing always to seem disproportionate to what in reality show up.
Today I had a fellow marine Veteran suggest to me that the best thing to do is let them deface the wall.
His reasoning is that it will prove just how anti American these people really are, just like Piss Christ proved how anti Christian they are.
He could be right, but I for one don't want to find out if he is.
Do you?
well, we could always let 'em get to the wall, then close the x ambush on 'em.
Planning to attend: ========== 62

Come join the fun as we honor our wounded warriors! You may have the opportunity to meet a few of these outstanding men and women, as they frequently come out to say hello!
Oooooops! Forgot to ping y'all to #307.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who does that,
on the other hand, it made me feel p r e t t y special. ; )
Ping to usmcobra's Post #306 and Justanobody's update at Post #307
I must admit, when I saw who I posted to, I did a little LOL! ;*)
"We are not a warlike people. Nor is our history filled with tales of aggressive adventures and imperialism, which might come as a shock to some of the placard painters in our modern demonstrations. The lesson of Vietnam, I think, should be that never again will young Americans be asked to fight and possibly die for a cause unless that cause is so meaningful that we, as a nation, pledge our full resources to achieve victory as quickly as possible." --Ronald Reagan (1974)
When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber. -- Winston Churchill
"To remain silent when they should protest makes cowards of men." -- Thomas Jefferson
This is what the LORD says to you: `Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. -- II Chronicles 20:15
"...who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” ... Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. ... all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give you into our hands.” -- from I Samuel 17

Justa - you are doing a great job keeping all the info together. Don't know if I'm included in the count, but I WILL be there!!!
Thanks for the thread. Hope to be there.
Now that is one inspiring painting. All happened in my neck of the woods, many many years ago. Valley Forge, Brandywine, Battle of Trenton, crossing of the Delaware. Such determination to throw of the yoke of misrepresented government. Gotta get ready to shovel the ice and snow, clean up car and head off to work. Gotta close the store at 11PM, assuming we will stay open till 10PM tonight. Have a great day.
Good Job PING!
So many will surely make the news.
AWESOME!!
