RESOURCE LINK for March 17th: Counter ANSWER's march from the Wall to the Pentagon
Me | January 31, 2007 | Just A Nobody

Posted on 01/31/2007 2:42:16 PM PST by Just A Nobody

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!

(D.C. Chapter Report on 1/27/07)


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?

Sampley has recruited a dozen or so guys who will pose as peace marchers.

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.

Handed out a lot of flyers PGR today. They received the e-mail, but many did not know what it was about.

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.

New press release from the Military Order of the Purple Heart

MILITARY ORDER OF THE PURPLE HEART
National Headquarters
5413-B Backlick Road, Springfield, VA 22151
703-642-5360 Fax: 703-642-1841



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



For information contact:
Nat'l Public Relations Director Ray Funderburk (662) 772-5811
Email: mophpr@bellsouth.net


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.

One of my daughters said she will be there, so that makes 64, if I can get my 16 year old son that will make 65 people.

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.

Spoke to another VN vet that was spat on. I informed him that never happened, hadn't he heard.

Handed him one of your flyers and a GOE flyer. He and the Mrs. will be in DC on the 17th. ;*)

I suspect it was a lack of leadership there that allowed the Capitol steps to be vandalized in full view.

Make no mistake about it, there was leadership involved!!!

They were ordered to stand down by their boss!

And you don't have me on the list yet.
Because I didn't answer up (like I should have) when you posted this thread.

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.

I have been given permission to post this by a very unique Marine Viet Nam veteran.

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.

The "regulars" show up, well, regularly. But hopefully they will RSVP with you so you can keep a fairly accurate tally of Freepers far and near who will be joining us.
