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!

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?

I heard it mentioned on Rush's show (stand-in) today!

My radio was muted due to a phone call and missed it, but a friend from a few states away called to tell me she heard it! LOL!

Hope they ALL start talking about it!

How come "gatheringofeagles" is not in the "Popular Keywords" list in the upper right hand corner of the forum?

I have no idea. How do "Popular Keywords" get chosen?

They're claiming it's the date of the 40th anniversary of the anti-war march on Pentagon.

2007 is the 40th anniversary, but not the month/day.
I posted the link to the "Levitate the Pentagon" march in post #1.

On October 21, 1967, 70,000 demonstrators came to Washington, D.C. to "Confront the War Makers." This was the first of the biannual Anti-War demonstrations to fuse protest with the whimsicality of the counter culture and to take civil disobedience to new levels of confrontation. It would become the prototype for the demonstrations at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago -- except that the latter was marred by extensive police violence.

You know, I was in Vietnam when the first demonstrations started. I felt like someone had stuck a bayonet between my shoulder blades. I think it's about time for some payback.

Along the same lines, the rabble have essentially held the streets for the past 40 years. (no disrespect to those few warriors who have so valiantly opposed them) I really believe that this could be a turning point in history. It just may be that when we show up in numbers, take away their free reign of the streets, take away their anonymity and their monopoly on the press, we can make these dirtbags slink back to their rocks and crawl under them once and for all.

We have allowed them the freedom of the streets for too long. It's time to take them back!

Right there is a huge motivating factor for me!

The left is planning a full scale rally at the Pentagon after the rally at the Vietnam Wall, according to ANSWER.

ANSWER secured a permit to protest outside of the Pentagon and plan to aim a sound system at the Pentagon to attack the active duty Military in the Pentagon and over seas in Iraq and Afghaninstan.

Would generally follow the I-85 corridor to Richmond and hang a right.

Thank you so much for these graphics, usmcobra!
And now they are telling stories.....fantastic!

I received an email a few days ago from a Canadian lady, an Air Force veteran who is coming down to DC with an Army veteran specifically "to defend the names of the Canadians on that wall."

Those emails then escalated to postings on veteran or military oriented web sites, and that got things really moving. I heard about it on the www.TogetherWeServed.com website, before it actually got the name Gathering of Eagles, and after writing about it here, got notices from all over the country that like-minded people were getting involved and making plans to be in DC on March 17.

A huge welcome to our Canadian friends!!!

Hi Thunder! Do you have a link for that? Thanks for watching them. Something I simply cannot stomach doing.
