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?
Luckly I always carry a spare graphic with me where ever I go.
I'd suggest NOT putting up a fuss at Arlington.
If the hippie-freaks are going to make-butt, they should do it in front of the headstones of heroes (the theory that the shameful photo-op DOES MAKE the news, and America sees it for what it is - pissing on their graves).
I apologize, I haven't read the entire thread, but is there going to be a gathering of the FR contingent?
Yes, their are "Eagle Eyes", everywhere. Some in the darnest places! ;-)
Start at Thunder's Post #540 for the latest. ANSWER'S protest will march clost to Arlington Cemetary on the way to the Pentagon.
Hi All,
Count on a freeper (me) and a marine to show up on the 17th.
I'm a little lost on where freepers are gathering etc.
Are we gathering at the wall with the GOE?
Is there a post somewhere that lays it all out?
If nothing else xmission, I'll meet you at the wall on the 17th!

Sounds good. I don't know enough about the (counter) protest permit thing to know if we can bring signs etc., and raise them if we're not in a certain area.
BUMP for reading later.

The National Park Service has advised us that no signs, banners, flags, and, as we suspected, anything which could remotely be construed as a weapon will be allowed at the Wall. We are just going to have to travel light when we approach the Wall.
We are negotiating the use of several areas which will be perfect locations for everyone who does wish to display signs, banners, and flags to assemble. Look for more on these specific locations in the future. There will be plenty of places to unfurl all those flags that we are bringing, just not at the Wall itself.
Some may be disappointed at not being able to take their flags to the Wall, but this ruling will make it much easier for everyone to see if someone approaches the Wall with anything which could mark or damage it. This should work to our advantage and be a great help in accomplishing our mission.
Please also understand that a certain amount of flexibility is necessary for all of us. We may need to keep some exact locations of events under wraps in order to keep the opposition from sabotaging our plans. We should have plenty of people on the ground to help direct you where the different activities are happening.
All appropriate permits have been applied for and are being processed. The NPS is very deliberately considering every detail of our (and their) requests and has the best interest of the Memorials at heart as it considers how to best proceed. We will have plenty of space to assemble and operate.
BTW, here's the latest... 
I am quite sure that there will be a time to use the signs while the lefties are marching.
Planning to attend: ========== 113
Attempting to attend: ======== 14

ANSWER's bus pickup and drop off points. Notice the cemetery is in close proxmity, and that ANSWER will march protesters near it to get to the rally at the Pentagon. Again, another memorial to soldiers is at risk. 540 posted on 02/22/2007 9:56:29 PM PST by Thunder90
The National Park Service has advised us that no signs, banners, flags…..will be allowed at the Wall.

For those arriving Friday, please consider joining the FReepers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center at 7:00 PM . The DC Chapter has held a support the troops rally and countered Code Pink at the gates of Walter Reed every Friday since March 30, 2005.
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!

I think it's time to start a new resource thread to bring all this info front and center again.
and as an extra added bonus, your's truly will demonstrate how his folding Flag Pole works.
Yes I know no Flags will be allowed at the wall
and certainly Not Old Glory
or any of the Military Branches
or even the POW/MIA Flag.
They might be considered weapons when carried by Veterans,
and I don't intend to take it to the wall,
it will be a rallying device for those Marines meeting me there as part of my group to find me at our prearranged Meeting spot.
And yes, it really can be deployed that fast.
(even though I did speed it up a little for the purposes of size of the GIF)
I swear I got to get a new screen, mine's all blurry.
Remember Folks, they will past the fields where our Heroes Rest in Peace.
We cannot stop them but we can ask the protesters to march silently past our honored dead.
do so with a sign or a banner if you can.
For Their sake.
