I am in contact with the American Legion, VFW, Patriot Riders, Secure Arkasnas, and other conservative, grassroots organizations.
We are kicking around the idea of a "show of support" gathering for our troops at the sight of the shooting either WED or THU...possibly this weekend.
All organizations mentioned above are talking to each other and making sure that the "i" s are dotted, and "t"s crossed. We don't want a PROTEST of Obama's innaction, nor the national media's blackout, but to stand with our troops in a show of support. I have contacted LRPD and asked for permits (if necessary) to be on the sidewalk to be sure that we don't step on anyone's toes.
Like you, I am outraged at the "Johnny on the spot condemnation of the assassination of Tiller, but not a word from the CINC (pronounced "sink") during his announcement of the new Army Secretary.
Stay tuned and be prepared to show up to support the troops WITH TASTEFUL SIGNS!:
"Where is our CINC?"
We support our troops!
Don't bury this terrorist attack MSM!
MSM = covering for Obama!
This was terrorism!
etc
Ive been talking to several organizations, and they are interested in showing support for our troops. The local American legion, VFW, Patriot Rider, and Secure Arkansas are on board, but want to talk to their "higher ups". While we are hovering, I am in contact with LRPD and getting info on when/where we can peaceably assemble during business hours. The military said they can't actually participate, but would appreciate our showing up.
I'll keep you posted for this Litte Rock FREEP.
Give me some tips on doing this, as this is my first FREEP in Litte Rock since the Hillary book signing;)

Elswick said something on his show today about an event to raise money for the families involved... it is being done through the American Legion.
