We are pleased to announce the "Defend America" Rally will be held on May 23, 2009 on the West Front Grassy Area at the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.
This is a "grass roots" rally that will bring any and all Americans who are concerned about the growth of the power of the federal government and the loss of individual freedom in America together for an afternoon that will help to raise the awareness of citizens around the country to this issue and to raise the awareness of politicians that we will not tolerate the transition of America to socialism.
Rally Particulars:
The rally will begin at 1:00pm on the sidewalk across from the National Archives building on 9th Street. Buses can unload rally attendees there prior to 1:00pm. Rally participants will march from the Archives building down 9th Street to the National Mall, turn east, and then march to the Capitol West Front Grassy Area for the rally. Speeches will begin at approximately 1:30pm. Rally participants who are driving themselves to the rally can meet at the Archives rally point or meet at the West Front Grassy Area.
PING the chapter please.
I hope as many people as possible attend this.
The mainstream media will make an effort to ignore it. If they are compelled to recognize it, they will compare it with Obama’s Coronation and attempt to downplay the number of Americans there.
Failing to produce the greatest number of attendees as possible will be more harmful to America than never having planned this event.
Factor in the Rolling Thunder Rally and you have an additional 10,000 - 12,000 people in DC that weekend.
Should we come armed?
Sorry, I’m not setting foot in that cesspool.
This is AWESOME news!!! My husband and I will be there!
And, this is exactly what’s needed and I pray people who truly love and believe in America will make it their business to attend.
It would be great if Rush, Hannity, Glenn Beck....and others would JOIN FORCES and attend and support this rally.
God bless all who are working to get this done!
I am down like 4 flats on a junked 72 Deuce and a quarter for this event.
With “gangsta walls”...
Woohooo, I will be there and taking my newly Conservative sister. She was just bugging me about when our next America event will be!
It’ll never make the MSM
Long arms only please !!
Whoo Hoo, Kevin!! It will be great to hear you, once again. I heard you speak at a past Support the Troops Rally in D.C. and you were an inspiration. Thanks for your service.
I can’t find any information about this rally on the Heritage site. Are you sure it is a Heritage Foundation event?
Also, can you tell us who is behind the “Defend Our Constitution” website and effort? I can’t find any info there, even under the “about” page. All I can find is a message signed by a “Mike”.
and a mean gangsta lean at the rally.
BTT!
DC Chapter hasn’t discussed but I’m pinging anyway ‘cause you’re a good guy.
Looking for something to do Memorial Day Weekend? Pencil this in on your calendar.
Thanks for hte ping. This is great news!!!!!!!
