The anti-American left has announced their plans to descend on our nation's capital in September to help their terrorist allies overseas on the political front in Congress.
September is going to be the mother of all battles. The left is going all out to bring about the defeat of America in the war on terror. Their immediate goal is to pressure Congress into giving up on the Iraq front so that their terrorist allies have a safe haven in which to wage war on America and our allies in the Middle East.
They believe public opinion is on their side. And why shouldn't they? Nearly everytime they rear their ugly heads, too many patriotic Americans allow them to spread their propaganda unanswered.
The anti-American left is counting on you to stay home in September and pretend that if you ignore them they will go away and they won't get any attention from the media or Congress. That strategy has worked quite well for them over the past few years as they have captured Congress and gotten nothing but fawning coverage in the press while most of us acted like we're too good to stand up for our troops against them.
Those of you who have sat on the sidelines have one last chance to redeem yourselves. If you allow this Congress to succumb to the anti-American left and betray our troops in the field, will you be able to live yourself or look those troops in the eyes should they make it home alive?
Those of you who have stood with us before know that this one is for all the marbles and will do what you have to do to be there.
This September is a time for sacrifice on the homefront. Not of blood, but of time, money and effort. Our troops have the blood part covered. Patriotic Americans need to make the time, spend a little traveling money and make the effort to come to D.C. and fight the politcal battles for our troops.
The anti-American left is planning a week long assault beginning Sept. 15. The D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com and the Gathering of Eagles will be there to meet them. We are also planning for actions the week before. On Sunday, Sept. 9, we'll be participating in the Freedom Walk. On Monday, Sept. 10, we'll be holding a press conference/rally at 11 a.m. in Upper Senate Park across from the Capitol to kick off a day of lobbying Congress to support victory.
Friday, Sept. 14, at 7 p.m. we'll have our regular support the troops rally at the main gate to Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Saturday, Sept. 15 is going to be the big day when the left launches their assault. We'll be holding a rally in the morning as we did at the first Gathering of Eagles on March 17. We will line the march route of the leftists from the White House to the Capitol. The precise details will be announced in the coming weeks.
I know that not everyone can make it. But in a country of 300 million, there is no reason why 30,000, or 50,000 or even 100,000 people can't make the effort to stand up for our troops and victory in D.C. that day.
We will be working with other groups on counter and proactive actions for the following week in D.C. We will need people who can spend the whole week or several days or even one extra day to help us.
If you really can't make it, attend a stop of the Move America Forward cross-country caravan in September and give them a flag to take to Washington.
Here is what the anti-American left has publicly announced that they will be doing in September in Washington:
Saturday, September 15 Mass March on Washington & Die-In Led by Iraq Veterans
* People will begin assembling at the White House in the late morning. There will not be an opening rally. A march will form with the front contingent of Iraq war veterans, family members of soldiers and marines and other veterans. When the march arrives at Congress, the Iraq Veterans Against the War and family members will be the leadership of a mass die-in symbolizing the deaths of an estimated 4,000 U.S. servicemembers. A powerful representation of the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis will be the other central component of this dramatic confrontation with Congress at the time that they will be debating spending another $100 billion to sustain the criminal occupation of Iraq.
* The Die-In is a civil disobedience action that will involve at least 4,000 people who are able to risk arrest.
* There will be a permitted rally taking place simultaneously with the Die-In. All those who cannot afford to risk arrest will be able to participate in the permitted rally that will take place on the West Lawn of the Capitol Building.
Sunday, September 16 National Training Session for the other Days of Action This will be a national meeting that will take place in Washington DC for all those who can remain in DC following the September 15 Mass March and Die-In. This will be a practical preparation for the actions on Monday, September 17 through Friday, September 21. This will be for everyone who can participate in one or more of the follow-up Days of Action.
Monday, September 17 Peoples March Inside Congress Assemble at 9:00 am in the cafeteria of the Rayburn House Office Building (House of Representatives). The lead organizing group for this action is CODEPINK.
Monday, September 17 National Truth in Recruiting Day In Washington DC, people will dispatch in teams to recruitment centers to tell the truth and counter the lies of the recruiters. Teams will dispatch from 7 am to 1 pm at Union Station in Washington DC. For those who have had to return to their cities, actions will take place all day long at local recruitment centers. The lead organizing group for this action will be Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW). [Read a letter from Adam Kokesh of Iraq Veterans Against the War about the National Truth in Recruiting Day.]
Tuesday, September 18 Congressional Challenge Day A broad spectrum of people from around the country will fill the halls and offices of Congress to tell members of Congress to stop funding the war right now. The lead organizing group for this action is Grassroots America. Tina Richards, mother of Iraq war veteran Cloy Richards and CEO of Grassroots America, writes that September 18 "is the day we throw the gauntlet down. We will challenge our government to fulfill the mandate of the people. We do not want a new direction into Iraq as Senate Leader Reid and Speaker Pelosi is fond of saying. We will tell them: ’End the War NOW!’ So join me on September 18, 2007, as we challenge our leaders to do the will of the American people." [Read a letter from Tina Richards, CEO of Grassroots America, about the Congressional Challenge Day.]
Wednesday, September 19 Direct Action More details coming soon.
Thursday, September 20 Veterans lobbying day More details coming soon. The lead organizing groups for this action will be Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW).
Friday, September 21 National Moratorium Day Actions will take place around the country. Information: IraqMoratorium.org.
Of course these will not be the only groups agitating for America's defeat then. I'm sure the George Soros funded VoteVets and MoveOn and all the others will be there too.
MoveOn's Washington director, Tom Matzzie, recently said of their strategy: "Our goal is the total political collapse of support for Bush's war."
Your inaction will let them defeat America. The fate of our nation is in your hands.
Can we bring rotten eggs and mushy vegetables?
Buy your flight and hotel package now!,they will be sold out soon.
There’s plenty of rotten eggs in DC already...
I’ll be there both the Walter Reed freep and the GOE.
I’ve been looking into flights and getting ready to put in for my vacation.
I am bringing my 14 year old daughter as well so that we have more support on our side.
I am looking forward to meeting you all.
Meanwhile I am with you in spirit every Friday.
Keep up the good work.
See you on the 15th Kristinn!
This is why they believe they can change Washington. The Commie Hanoi Jane saw it happen. And now Jihad Jane wants to see it happen in Iraq.
Only this time, in a Nuclear age, the stakes are higher then they were in Vietnam.
down with liberal traitors before they bring us all down
And if I said it once, I'll say it again:
If liberal traitors don't like me calling them a traitor, then they shouldn't give me a dang reason to do so
BTTT and aiming to be there at least on 9/15. Not sure about 9/10 though. Come on folks, we have to fight!
Already booked my room and will be there!
The Libbies won't be making the same mistake as last time-they will import their Nuts from ANYWHERE so as NOT to be embarassed as they were with their low turn out as last time!
BE THERE!
GOE BTTT!!!
GOE and Veteran PING!
If you want to have your name removed please FReepmail me. We are trying to put a list together to no one falls through the cracks and gets missed.
BTTT
Thanks for the PING
BTTT
most welcome! If you run across a thread and don’t see me there, give me a shout so we can get the list hit. Blessings!
Waiting to hear from the CT coordinator of Gathering of Eagles to find out how I’ll get down there.
