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?
Hey Justa..I vote for a new thread as well. Can you get to that ASAP!.....in between eating Bonbons of course! LOL.
You're doing a fabulous job keeping this all together!
There is a request on the forum of gatheringofeagles.org requesting a ride for a gold star mother out of Phoenix/Tucson AZ. Could you (and all readers)add that to your "watch list" since all y'all aren't doing anything else. :-)
The request was posted by "Sentry" under "Logistics" on the GOE forum. If you freepmail me, remind me of this info! (Or you can respond straight there if you're registered with GOE.) I don't know if she's been referred to either of the national caravans; I think at least one of them is going near there.
We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.....
I'm sure AE and VFW are happy that HE did not join them.
and when we do, we WILL DEMAND relevancy
So you joined the SINate!?!? C'mon VN vets...demand relevancy!
I keep waiting for a ping to the new thread. Who is doing it?
Thanks Hoodlum! See you at the Wall!!!
Don't make me come to D.C. and chase you with some pompoms!
Did you refer her to the caravans? I am not competing with GOE site. The only requests I'm posting have come to me via posts on the FR threads, FRmail or my private e-mails from friends/vets.
I will keep my eyes open and let you know if I see/hear anything. Thanks!
BRING IT ON!
Would love to watch that! ;*)
I do believe others are about to do it.
Another powerful sign...well done!
The BS from those offended by the original was more than enough for me.
JAN, humbly begging your pardon! The part about " 'you' can post the info on the GOE website" was intended for OTHER readers who might have info, not the 'you' who is running crazy coordinating this thread.:-)
NP! ;*)
Please make a new thread and I'll make you a new pic, just for you.
That's a keeper. I know many, many, many people--and especially lots of veterans--who would like to invite Jane, Cindy and Ramsey to that banquet. I don't wish ill on anybody, but those people--and the rest of the motley bunch--are truly insane.
