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 swear I got to get a new screen, mine's all blurry.
Remember Folks, they will pass 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.
Our ducks are lined up. If the FReep at WR has any extra signs, me and mine will be proud to hold them.
I'm no good at manipulating internet stuff, so maybe you can get the information over here for FReepers to see and spread the word.

Ma, fire up the Marine Ping and Play Call to Arms!
I will be there. Got a friend coming in from Wilmington, DE, who will go with me. We'll take the Metro in early morning. Super-sized my uniform so I can fit into it.
Way to go, Bro!
POP, you want to come and set a spell? This is beautiful, peaceful, humble, righteous, righteous, humble and, did I say, beautiful.
I made a regular flagpole out of PVC, myself! AND, had five Marines (and one Not a Marine ; ) raise it.
Justanobody, while flags are not going to be used at the wall, this would come in very handy for those going on to Arlington.
Hi CG. I am sorry you will be unable to join us. Rest assured there will be someone blocking Panel 15 for your family. It will be an honor to do so!
At this time, there has not been a gathering place for FReepers set up. When/if there is one, I'm sure we will find out.
That top one is great!
We are all lost as to where we are to meet, other than at the Wall at this time. Give us a couple days.
They will be permitted along the march route and the area will be "permitted" to gather in. When we find out where that is, we will advise.
Kewl! Ping me please!!! ;*)
Love the folding flag pole.
Yes, we have LOTS of signs for WR. It will be great to have you all!
Love that you'll be in uniform! ;*)
And along the march route!!! Great idea!
Also when carried by Americans who LOVE our Veterans and our Country! I'd be more than happy to stick a flagpole up a protester's .............
They'd never forget it!
