"Defend America" Rally
Defend Our Constitution ^ | 29 January 2009 | Defend Our Constitution

Posted on 01/29/2009 9:01:37 AM PST by concretebob

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.

Looks like a busy spring in D.C. We're looking forward to it.

Already had a request from an out-of-towner for one of the Olney Compound rooms.

This is the message I received via Facebook this morning

I wanted to let all of you know that the date of the Rally has been moved. In working with the Heritage Foundation, defendourconstitution.org, and several other important groups, we had discovered that we were on the same page and just had different dates. If you know of the Heritage Foundation, then you know that they are the leading group on Conservative Issues. They have the West Front of the Capitol already reserved. This is the same place PBO took over our country. Now, we are going to take it back. Come help us defend America. God Bless!!!

The delicious irony—a city built expressly as the seat of government wouldn’t be a cesspool without the politicians! We ought to rename it to Washington WC.

According to the National Park Service website, the West Front of the Capitol will be tied up that weekend for the annual Memorial Day concert:

NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT
8 p.m., Sunday, May 24, 2009
West lawn, U.S. Capitol, Washington, D.C.

The National Symphony Orchestra performs the first of three outdoor holiday concerts. The concert is free and is broadcast LIVE on PBS. Memorial Day is a day to remember the sacrifices made by so many … and a day for healing. On the eve of Memorial Day, come out and enjoy the NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT, a deeply moving and reverential tribute to the men and women who have given so much to preserve America’s freedoms.

Please. The set up takes several days. The West Front is not available.

Sorry, I’m not setting foot in that cesspool.

You would enjoy it more than you may realize. Those of us who have been to the many huge assemblies such as the Gathering of Eagles events, during which we defended the public monuments against spray-painting by the anti-war crowd's scheduled demonstrations, were absolutely exhilarated. It is very, very heartening to stand in a huge crowd of others who believe in the same things you do, and are willing to get out there. We always end up having a great day together; and we scare the weenies just by showing up.

Besides the hale and hearty, there are many children and little old ladies who come, not to mention elderly veterans who wear their insignia on jackets and hats -- the Park Police do a good job keeping order between the groups. They usually can turn their backs on us, and only have to police the Anti-Americans!
