The D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us this Monday morning as we freep the Republican party over their leadership's support of the amnesty bill and their failure to support securing our borders first.

We will also be announcing the results of the FR poll on support for the GOP if the amnesty bill passes into law.

When: 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. Monday, June 4, 2007

Where: Republican National Committee headquarters, 310 First St., SE, Washington, D.C.

Bring: American flags and signs calling for border security first and no amnesty for illegal aliens. D.C. Chapter made signs will be available for use.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect. We reserve the right to refuse participation by anyone who refuses to abide by these rules.

Here's my favorite photo of the day:

Did anyone from the RNC come out and talk to you? Did they hide in their office?

This is pretty much the response we got from the folks in the RNC building:

I hope they recognize that they are treading on very thin ice right now, and if they don't get reconnected with the will of the voters, the 2006 elections will look mild in comparison to what will happen to them in '08.

We were a small group, but that's OK because it was a press conference. Here's a nice shot of (Mrs.) Trooprally, doing sign-holding duty:

Here's another good sign that Doctor Raoul had:

Trueblackman also spoke at the presser.

Maybe small in number...

..but hugely effective around the nation and world.

YOU KNOW tons of folks read FR...and are seeing these pictures!!!!

Good job, you wonderful patriots you!!!!!

We've all tried to support you today with our phone calls, emails and fax!...and especially prayers!!!

[tgslTakoma]

Here's a shot as the presser was ending. Kristinn is talking to Human Events reporter and Doctor Raoul is talking to CBS News guy. Look for a write-up in Human Events in the coming days:

Another good photo by (Mrs.) Trooprally

[Guenevere]

Excellent!

Mrs.Trooprally takes a good picture...she could be the oficial photog.

[tgslTakoma]

It really is a sad day for the Bush Admin and the RNC that folks like Kristinn and Doc Raoul, who have been tireless of their support of the troops and the Iraq War, are compelled by Bush’s stance on shamnesty to freep the RNC.

Indeed, it is.

DC Chapter member, Albion Wilde, got stuck in horrible traffic on her way in to the Freep, but she finally made it, with her great signs:

I know you guys were burning up the phone lines, because when I got home I tried to make some calls (Lott, McConnell, RNC) and kept getting busy signals all over.

Great work by everyone today! We have to keep the heat on these critters all this week; they have got to hear from everyone that we will not accept their turning their backs on the rule of law, border security, national security....

Keep calling!!!

[tgslTakoma]

Mrs.Trooprally takes a good picture...she could be the oficial photog.

Yes, she does. She's also the official photographer for her American Legion Post.

[WVNan]

That is my favorite too. That Kevin is one handsome dude. I bet he could put the fear of God into an adversary. I heard him on Laura Ingraham show and he was very passionate and dead on right.

[Trteamer]

FRom the looks of that photo on #318, I don’t think the RNC or the press heard you. There is a racoon sleeping on the microphone. LOL!

[tgslTakoma]

Nah, I think that was Jim Traficant’s hairpiece.

[AGreatPer]

Hate to say this but I think this has to be done again.

Thank you all for representing us.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Even the SPORK WEASELS are upset!



Just couldn't resist a bit of comic relief...

[AGreatPer]

#326, Wow, Doctor Raoul in a suit. Holly Buckets.

Way to go Doc. You dress up well.

*SPORK WEASELS*

LOL!

*spork*

;o)

[Grammy]

kristinn, you and the DC chapter rock!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to go and protest for us. We called, but being there and visible means so much more.

Blessings on you all.

[NordP]

Actions speak louder than words...thank you SO much for your collective efforts on behalf of so many of us.

GREAT JOB!

Mr. President...on so many other issues, I love yah, but on illegals/corporate amnesty & victim votes for the dems = Immigration, I completely disagree. PLEASE LISTEN TO US!!!!

[Old 300]

Yes, amazing job. I didn’t hear Laura’s interview (?) with them, but I did read her recent column and thought she made some great points.
