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?
and I could not possibly be happier about it! ;*)
Make up a story from thin air...
Report it as actual researched fact...
Sit back and sip a cold one while the ENEMEDIA and your communist cohorts parrot it across the nation.
I'm sure a substantial number of PGR from southern VA will now be in attendance. Another veterans bike group said they would be researching and posting the event on their website. I will post it when they e-mail it to me.
Wonderful R. Scott!!! Not too warm please. I'd rather wear a jacket then suffer like we did in Williamsburg! ;*)

Springfield, VA--"Don't touch the Vietnam Memorial Wall," said Tom Poulter, National Commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH), speaking to potential anti-war demonstrators who plan on gathering there on March 17th.
"Fifty eight thousand men and boys fought and died so you could demonstrate in peace. To dishonor them by defacing the Wall is unthinkable," Poulter continued.
"We respect the right to demonstrate. We do not respect the right to defile or deface sacred places like the Vietnam Wall. Our members, many of whom were wounded in Vietnam, are outraged that protesters would even consider gathering near the Wall. That is hallowed ground to us who shed our blood on the soils of Vietnam."
The MOPH commander was livid when he learned of the planned gathering near the Wall to begin an anti-war demonstration on March 17th.
"It would be best for those people to gather some other place. In fact, there will be many Vietnam veterans guarding the Wall and I can assure you it will not be a peaceful situation should anti-war demonstrators try to damage or deface the memorial."
"There are those who will demonstrate who are not worthy enough to stand near the Wall, much less touch it."
The majority of the 40,000 members of the MOPH were wounded in Vietnam.
Outstanding! Are you planning to attend? I do not have you on the list. Let me know if you and your children would like to be added to the count.
But of course I'll be there Friday night...where else would I be? ;*)
Saturday too!!!
Handed him one of your flyers and a GOE flyer. He and the Mrs. will be in DC on the 17th. ;*)
Make no mistake about it, there was leadership involved!!!
They were ordered to stand down by their boss!
It is put up or shut up time.
Amen!!!
How many in your party? Would like to add you to the count!
;*)
Right on! I heard the MOPH had a press release today.
Thank you for posting it here!
I think I'll bug the DC Chapter list members again, and ping them to let you know if they are coming...
I'll be there.
Wellllll, I wasn't gonna mention it. I know that Saturday is your day to work. Will you be there???
There are only 5 or 6 from the DC regs on the list. ;*(
Yes, I can read, but only on even days! LOL!
You see he is a Canadian Citizen that joined the United States Marine Corps in 1966 and served in Viet Nam from 1967 to 1968 and was awarded Combat Air crew wings.
Kinda Ironic isn't it? He came here to serve while others were going to Canada to flee.
The reason I am not making an image tonight is that I am waiting on clearance to make a special one and I made a larger version of my first one for a special purpose earlier.
It's on my calendar. Thanks!
Hey Justa, we make two more. God bless our troops!
