Grassroots America, A Non Profit
September 6, 2007
On September 18, 2007 Move America Forward, Minute Men, Free Republic and others are joining together in Washington D.C. to visit Senators and Representatives to promote war and bigotry. Bigots and warmongers are joining forces. Why are they joining forces? Because there is power in numbers. They know it, we know it and our representatives in government know it. That is when politicians are most afraid. These organizations are on the same side because their actions are based on hate, fear and ignorance.
Rev. Joseph Lowery once told me that when the Peace Movement recognizes that we are all on the same side, the civil rights movement, the immigrant rights movement, the labor rights movement, the Katrina rights movement, the peace movement and all the other movements that speak of justice: our numbers will be so large, the haters in this nation will cringe with fear.
We are on the side of Humanity.
After nine months of being on Capitol Hill, I am sorry to say, that 99% of the politicians have no will to end this illegal occupation. The power to end this war will not come from them, it will come from you.
The Power of the People. Until the day comes when we are ready to rise up and retake our democracy, the occupation will continue, our civil liberties will dwindle, and our country will remain a mockery of justice.
On September 18, 2007 we have a choice. Will this be the day the haters in our nation stand together? Or the day humanity stands? Will we quietly accept the continuation of our government ignoring the "will of the people" on this day? Or will we finally stand united, ready to end this war by taking direct action? I am asking you to rise up and take over the offices of our representatives throughout this land.
We cannot let the haters have the final say on this day. It is time to unite on the side of humanity. It is the time our government is ordered to end this war now. We are the government, but until we act with the will of the people our government will own us.
The gauntlet has been thrown down. Will you rise to the challenge?
September 18 is the day for humanity.
[The crazy old Moonbat is having a terrible time getting folks to join her "Revolution." Only two people have signed up to be State Coordinators. She says, "Alert: On September 18 the pro-war groups from across the nation will now be holding a lobby day for war. I have had only a few registrants. Will they be the only ones walking the halls of congress on September 18? Please register now."]
Tina Richards is the CEO of Grassroots America and the mother of USMC Cloy Richards an Iraq Veteran was selected to be reactivated& sent to Iraq for a third tour. While fighting against it, she had a chance encounter with Congressman David Obey where she gained national media attention. She has been speaking "Truth to Power" since in Washington D.C.
I ask every person who stands on the side of Humanity to join me in DC and Stand for Humanity. If you cannot make it to DC, Stand for Humanity in your home town in your local Senate and Congressional office.
We will wait for the haters and insist we have a place at the table when they speak to our representatives. If you are not in DC, occupy the offices and insist on a conference call with your representative. But let there be no doubt we stand opposed to the haters of our nation. We stand together. We stand as humans. We stand for Humanity.
"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!" - Mario Savio

If you haven't made your plans to be in DC for any (or all) of these Pro-Victory events, what are you waiting for?
The Move America Forward Caravan is criss-crossing the country and picking up caravaners along the way, to arrive in DC on Thursday, September 13th. Check their itinerary to see if you can join their caravan. There is much more fun in numbers.
Other groups also joining the big event (Pro-Victory rally in the morning on September 15th, and later, watching the Moonbat Parade traipse by our permitted sidewalk "free speech" locations):
The Military Order of the Purple Heart
Military Families Voice of Victory
Families United for our Troops and Their Mission, a grassroots coalition of Gold Star and Blue Star families including some with loved ones in harm's way, Veterans, and Americans who share a deep appreciation for our men and women in uniform and support them in their efforts to make America safer by allowing them to complete their mission.
Colonel Harry Riley's Eagles Up! organization
And lastly, the group that has got this Moonbat's panties in such a bunch, Vets for Freedom
That's right, folks. This Moonbat, Tina Richards, is calling the combat veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who belong to Vets for Freedom, bigots and haters.
Vets for Freedom is sponsoring a "Vets on The Hill" day on September 18th.
I am sure that there are other groups, large and small, who are also rallying their members for the Pro-Victory Surge on Washington.
Will you join us?
Ping!
Tina Richards is abusing her daughter. She’s quit her job, moved to DC area, no job, maxed out her credit cards, racked up a bundle of tickets and rents in a cheap single room in which the two of them live. It’s all about Tina, like Cindy Sheehan and medea Benjamin, the kids they are supposed to be raising are just in the way.
Damn, this thread didn’t stay in “Activism” for five minutes...
How old is the kid? Does DC Family Services know that the woman is neglecting her kid?
Pinging you, because otherwise you might not see this thread.
Thanks for posting TGSL.
My schedule is stacked, but I’ll let you know if I make it out that day. Regardless, I will pass the info along.
It’s a suburb location.
Cringe with fear? So the goal of Tina Richard's "Peace Movement" is to make people fearful? Terrorism is a tactic that makes people fearful so they will do what the terrorists want.
It is obvious that Tina Richards is a terrorist.
Q.E.D.
As I mentioned in my first comment, Vets for Freedom is having a Lobby Day on September 18th. I am also pretty sure that Families United will have a Lobby Day, perhaps even the same day as Vets for Freedom. And GOE and other groups are also planning a Lobby Day, but I do not know the date for theirs. Maybe the politicians will be "Surged" for a whole week by various Pro-Victory groups.
Kristinn?
In the six months since Richards relocated to Washington, she has maxed out her credit cards and collected parking tickets of unspeakable sums. She has no income, no health insurance and shares a cramped, $700-a-month bedroom in a Maryland house with her thirteen-year-old daughter.
It's a fragile existence, to be sure. But to a woman who ran away from home at eleven and never finished high school, the life of a D.C. lobbyist is clearly exhilarating.
Incredible!
"Pretend you work for the MSM"
Perish the thought.
Me? Work for the MSM?!
Ewwwww!
Actually, I am “Admin Skim-each-thread-as-it-comes-over-the-transom.”
ok, that’ll do...
How do you fit all that on your business card?
