Counter ANSWER march on the Pentagon on March 17th

Posted on 01/27/2007 10:15:21 AM PST by Thunder90

The Canswer from ANSWER are planning to march on the Pentagon on March 17th. They are enlisting the help of UFPJ, World Can't Wait, and other groups. Mother Moonbat Cindy Sheehan and Jane Fonda are expected to attend.

From the ANSWER website:

---------------------------------------------------------------

March on the Pentagon Saturday, March 17, 2007

~ 40th anniversary of the historic 1967 march on the Pentagon ~ ~ 4th anniversary of the start of the Iraq war

On March 17, 2007, the 4th anniversary of the start of the criminal invasion of Iraq, tens of thousands of people from around the country will descend on the Pentagon in a mass demonstration to demand: U.S. Out of Iraq Now! 2007 is the 40th anniversary of the historic 1967 anti-war march to the Pentagon during the Vietnam War. The message of the 1967 march was "From Protest to Resistance," and marked a turning point in the development of a countrywide mass movement.

In the coming days and weeks, thousands of organizations and individuals will begin mobilizing for the upcoming March on the Pentagon. Organizing committees and transportation centers are being established to bring people to the March on the Pentagon.

The March 17 demonstration will assemble at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Constitution Gardens) at 12 noon in Washington, D.C.and march to the Pentagon.

Do not bring signs to The Wall because no "events" other than Official Business is allowed there. Activities at The Wall are presense/deterence only.

However, afterward when they march, in the permitted area we have definitely bring a sign. Two suggestions:

AirBorn, your passion is truely inspiring to me and hopefully to others in this forum.

Yeah, it's tough for me to get away usually, especially being out here in the fields of Nebraska and having kids and cattle to tend to. But please undderstand I will be doing all I can back here to help bring some truth to all those "uninformed" people.

Your service to this country is beyond any thank you I can give, but keep in mind, there are millions of us who feel this way.

My son was in Iraq for 2 tours, and each time I was in total awe of the sacrifices that these men and women have made for us. The daily prayers to them were about the only thing keeping me sane, as they still are now. In my heart, I really believe this helped keep him alive, even through 3 IED blasts.

Anyway, AirBorn, keep up the "good fight", and I'll do what ever I can in the future. God bless you.

God Bless YOU Mountain Dad!

You people out there are the True Americans!

God Bless YOUR sacrifice--your FAMILIES /Sons' Sacrifice!! Americans like yourself have alREADY "Served" your country's call to arms in MORE ways than any other average American!! Already THREE IED Blasts! Wow! and THOSE are the stories that should be told on the News!! Stories like Your Families Courage and Bravery!!

"...I will be doing all I can back here to help bring some truth to all those "uninformed" people..."

I am SURE that you ALREADY know! just how IMPORTANT just "spreading the WORD " is!!! I mean!!: Hell's Bells!!_ IF YOU can just manage to even tell and CORRECT One persons' Misconceptions & LIES that are;SPREAD/PROPAGATED/Fully SUPPORTED by the MEDIA today--YOU HAVE WON a VICTORY for America--cause now THEY will tell a few people! and THOSE people will tell a few MORE TOO! and THAT is a BATTLE well worth entering!

Keep Up THAT Great Work!!

Spead the WORD to your friends:

"..All Evil needs to win is for GOOD People to stand by and Do Nothing..."

P.S. Mountain Dad--I only work "as hard" as NOW, in my life remaining, to try to end this race with possibly a few extra hash marks to my credit before I go--maybe it will make a difference with the Great Equilizer- maybe it won't- but at least now, and for the next few months- my "soul" can be at rest alittle bit more now.

Got this in an eamil this morning from op@opditch.com

'Gathering of Eagles' to protect Vietnam Veterans Wall

[EXCERPT from U.S. Veteran Dispatch:]

Leftist activists who march to the Pentagon next month will discover that their path won't be as clear as it has been in the past.

The group, led by Cindy Sheehan, Jane Fonda, Ed Asner and their ilk, plan to gather March 17 at the Vietnam Memorial Wall to begin a march to protest America's involvement in the Iraq war. The date marks the fourth anniversary of the war's beginning.

This time, however, protestors will see objectors if they spit on Iraqi veterans again, or throw paint on a war memorial. This time, they will encounter a buzz saw of Vietnam veterans and supporters who will gather to protect the Wall, and show their support for U.S. troops. The counter-protestors are calling themselves the Gathering of Eagles.

I would love to be at the Washington FReep, but money's an issue for now. Things may change however. Hubby has a roof job coming up in about 2-3 weeks. God willing, we may make it to the Washington FReep.

I figure it's about an 18 hour non stop drive from our home to there.

I heard this announced on Rush's show today! I hope this is such a gigantic crowd that even the MSM will be forced to acknowledge it.

I really would like to be counted as one, but at this point it looks very unlikely. :^( I will be in prayer for everyone, in any case.

We're seeing what we can do to get there to counter those idiots and since I've never been to Washington before so I don't know what area to look for a motel/hotel in. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Arlington, Crystal City , Pentagon area, and Alexandria in Northern Virginia is best. There are a lot of hotels within walking distance of Metro stations. Check with the hotel as to how close they are to a Metro station.

trooprally, if you try gatheringofeagles.org, i think they have a group discount at some local hotels already. pretty sure they're the ones who've done that.

TO ANYONE NOT SURE THEY WANT TO ATTEND:

my mother was one of those "typical" citizens in the '60s who continued their lives while a rampant minority changed the war from a success to a failure.

i emailed everyone i knew re: this & that i was tired of them telling me what to believe (when i actually know BETTER). i then informed them i was attending this rally to protect the wall, and asked others to join me.

my mom was the first to respond...i thought "she's going to ask me if it's safe, etc. etc." no. she told me if she & my brother could get back into va by then, she'd love to attend with me.

let me put it this way: THIS IS HER REDEMPTION FOR THE '60S. WILL YOU HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE IN 40 YEARS TO REDEEM YOURSELF/MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER?

in all honesty, i don't think so...we're up against a different enemy, and we may not have another chance!!!

DO WHAT YOU CAN TODAY IN ORDER NOT TO REGRET TOMORROW!

cheers, and all be safe!!!

RAMPAIGE - Welcome to FR!!

It would be good to meet you and the family if they can make it. Lets coordinate as March 17 gets closer.

We live just north of D.C. and already have 4 FReepers staying at our house, but I'm sure processing please hold can use your suggestions.

processing please hold - See rampaige's Post No. 56.
