The Westminster FReep started about a month ago with PatrioticMarineMom, with a lot of help from her friend, RockerMom2MyHero, because she finally got tired of seeing two groups in Westminster, protesting on the main drag. Of course it helped her determination that her son will son be deployed to Iraq.

PatrioticMarineMom & RockerMom2MyHero are newbies and had never organized a FReep or been involved in FReeping. On the GoE board they asked for help and we all showed up.

PatrioticMarineMom (PMM) has endured condescending editorials from one moonbat leader, and even has had some minor difficulties with the police, though those seem to be working themselves out.

The object is to counter Women in Black and the Carroll County [Communist] Progressives, to show support of our Troops AND their Mission, and to show Westminster residents there is another voice out there. Something we did not do for our Vietnam Vets.

The anti-troop moonbats basically stand ever second and fourth Saturday in the small, historic, old town square.

Until PMM started getting permits, the moonbats never got them, though it wasn't necessary at the time. Now both sides get permits and there is a police presence.

And to plug the Olney FReep, we are on the way to Westminster. Directions to Olney and half way to Westminster are in Post 1 of every Olney thread. On several Saturdays, we FReep from 10AM (set up time) till about 11:45, then run up to Westminster. We are opposite the Quakers in Olney.
