Ok folks here are the shots I took on my Washington DC sojourn on 4-20-2001. I had to compress them to make downloads easier. Anyone who wants the uncompressed shots freepmail me.

1. Got picked up in New York City and now we're stuck in traffic on the Lincoln Tunnel. Little Bill contemplates life while we wait for the traffic to move.

2. Now we're moving and barreling down the Lincoln Tunnel.

3. Having arrived at sauropod's lavish pad, electric Strawberry makes himself comfortable on the spot where he will crash for the night. I got the green beanbag on his right.

4. RaceBannon who weighs as much as the rest of us combined, tries out the 2nd mattress (he popped a spring on the other one). His snoring during the night apparently caused an earthquake that registered 5.1 on the richter scale.

5. 9 AM and time to head to the subway and the rally by the Washington Monument.

6. The car was relatively empty when we got in it. The unwashed commies got on at later stations.

7. On the way to the rally using the taxpayer subsidized Metro system.

8. After arrival we trek towards the rally electric Starwberry taking lead with his protest equipment.

9. RaceBannon in the distance stands at attention during the Star Spangled Banner.

10 & 11 Some people start showing up by 10:30 AM

11.

12. The rally a half hour later.

13. RaceBannon getting interviewed by one of the many reporters from the various branches of the Pravda news Consortium.

14. More rally shots

15. Park Police Cavalry to the rescue.

16. Pro Pali demonstrators headed our way, a lot of them were provocateurs who had it in their headsa to start trouble. Check out the robocop outfits of the park police, I bet that scared the sh*t outta them.

17. More cops guarding our rear

18. Shot towards the direction of the Pali demonstration. Get a load of Bin Laden's fashion consultant on the right. There were points during the rally we were outnumbered by newsmen. I bet that half the 5,000 pali demonstrators that showed up were actually reporters and FBI agents.

19. One of our fellow Freepers standing guard by the lavatories which we paid for. We had to guard them against the opposition after they heard that the facilities included marble sinks, gold faucets and mink lined toilet seats.

20 & 21 Bob Dornan addresses the patriot audience.

21.

22& 23 Staff Sergeant Christopher Braman, US Army addresses the rally

23.

24 & 25 Larry Klayman addresses the rally and announces he will sue God for causing rain.

25.

26. Two non Freepers join the cause and our rally when they stumble on our group.

27. 3 PM and it's time to get packing after the rally is over.

28 thru 33 Some of us retired to the Washington Hotel for a few munchies and some lively post rally conversation.

29.

30.

31.

32. I finally get a shot to get in a picture. I'm the second one in on the left, the handsome dude with the baseball cap.

33.

34. Alex-St. James of the African America Republican Leadership Council and austinTparty sat right accross from me.

re: post 32

Uh, no. There is a need for public demonstrations. His Slickness would not have been impeached w/o Free Republic's March for Justice, and Judgement Day rallies.

Part of the purpose of these demonstrations is outreach and education.

Keyboard patriotism is not enough.

The pictures are great and I am sorry I had to miss it...

but I plead the need to seek gainful employment and a serious lack of fundage!!

On the upside I start work tomorrow so it was in a good cause!!

[VaMarVet]

Great pics and thanks for being there!

Right you are, Pod....and the Freepers in FL led the way in getting the usually timid Pubbies out in the streets against Sore/Loserman.....

Wish we had been able to attend the Patriots Rally....Julie & Darling Hubby

Thanks for the pictures from someone who couldn't be there.

Your rally had all the aspects of an American spring outing--almost a picnic. What a contrast to the mob of "great unwashed" muslim fifth columnists and shills--as well as their dupes--on the other side!!!

#64: "Part of the purpose of these demonstrations is outreach and education.

No offense intended, but imho, we do some things better than others.

Again, lets stay w/ what we do well.

The commies do street demonstrations; We do talk radio and the 'net.

Thank you for the tremendous job you did.

Fortunately the pro-palestinian demonstrators didn't start anything with our Freepers. you would have completely wiped them out. ("I am surrounded 50 to 1... keep 'em comin!")*Grins*

Thanks for the pictures, and a job well done!

A crisp salute to you, Sir!

[sauropod]

We will have to agree to disagree agreeably, my friend.

I wanna do both.

Deus Vult! 'Pod

Great photos! Looks like you all had a good Freep!

[conserve-it]

Thanks much for the photos. Great job !

Fantastic pics and commentary, Cacique! Thanks so much for posting them.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Thank you, Cacique for posting these pics. I think that you guys may have made a really big difference last weekend. The unwashed probably practiced provoking the police, and there you were provoking them and being a rational voice in the wilderness. Can you imagine having park police duty and protecting these protestors while defending yourself, our national monuments and your principles? You gave the police support, by your very presence.

Your rally was a success. You were named and incuded as the opposition presence....given almost as much press as the unwashed, PAW bussed-in masses. There was no provoked police brutality, no destruction of our Capitol city, and the protestors were cowed by your small presence. Awesome Freep!

[WaterDragon]

You guys all did such a fantastic job with the rally! Wish I could have been there. And thanks so much for all the photos! They are just great!

[Hail Caesar]

Thanks for the bump and posting your great pictures!
