South Floridians travel to D.C. for peace march

Protesters who aren't traveling to Washington this weekend plan a rally Saturday afternoon at City Hall Circle in Hollywood, at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and 26th Avenue. The protest is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. and last about two hours, said Paul Lefrak, one of the organizers of the Broward Anti-War Coalition. It will be the fourth time protesters have rallied in Hollywood.

"I expect there will be some people who think the whole thing is over," Lefrak said of recent U.S. gains in the war in Iraq. "It's still going on."

Lefrak, who has helped organize protests every Thursday afternoon outside the federal courthouse in downtown Fort Lauderdale for the past several weeks, said peace activists will continue to rally as long as the United States remains in the Middle East.

"The underlying problems that have given rise to this war have not gone away," he said.

I don't know if anyone else has seen this. We should try to make an appearance and put these socialists down.

I know we have a few Support Our Troops Rally going on, but you can be assured this protest in Hollywood is where the media is going to focus their attention.

Please bump this thread to other Florida residents for immediate attention.

Any suggestions are encouraged and appreciated.

Maccraze and I would like to drive down to Hollywood and confront the anti-war loons. Then we can drive back for our rally at 4pm.

Give me a call or e-mail on my real e-mail.

[Jacvin]

Bump. Come on Florida Freepers.

There is still work to do!

[areafiftyone]

There is going to be a biggie in Washington D.C. tomorrow!

[Tamzee]

Yech... they ever going to give up?

[TAP ONLINE]

I hear most are from Broward County.

Not to worry. They have to use a simple map to find DC, no more complicated than a ballot.

They will not only get lost, but will probably need help in finding food and shelter on the way.

I'm going to send out an e-mail to my activist list about the Hollywood Freep.

Considering the nature and emotion involved in this Freep I would like to include the Freeper "code of conduct" for Freeps. I think The D.C. Freepers developed it.

Can anyone post it or guide me to it?

"Lefrak, who has helped organize protests every Thursday afternoon"

Has no job and needs a real life.

[Fearless Flyers]

Please bump and help get the message out.

Thank you

[Jacvin]

This is the e-mail I sent out to my activist list.

A group of us will be driving down to Hollywood to counter protest the anti-American left.
Even with the horrors discovered in Iraq the left still seeks to undermine Our Country, Our Troops and our President.

Some of us cannot and will not let them go unchallenged.

We will drive down and "Rally for America" tomorrow (Saturday). Start time 1PM.
After that we will drive back to Boca Raton in time for our own Rally at Sanborn Square at 4pm.

Due to the emotions inherent in such a Rally I ask my fellow activists to abide by the following rules:

Do not directly address the anti war protesters.

Do not call them names.

Do not make obscene gestures

Keep your signs and banners supportive of the Troops , Our Country and Our President.

Ignore attempts by the other side to provoke us.

Obey and respect any Police Officers assigned to the Rally.

Comport yourself with dignity at all times.

If you cannot follow these rules then the rest of us ask that you do not attend this particular rally.

We are going to bear witness to their folly and to show that we support our Troops.

Take a page from our young soldiers fighting in Iraq, lead by example, and show the leftists, the media, and the public how American Patriots act in public.

Our cause is just. Our intentions noble.

Tomorrow let's stand together for our Country with honor and dignity.

God Bless our Country! God Bless our Troops! God Bless our President George W. Bush!

Thanks Jack,

I tried to find those rules with out success.

I'm glad you were able to find them.

[Jacvin]

I didn't find them either. I just made up my own.

"...Saturday afternoon at City Hall Circle in Hollywood, at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and 26th Avenue. The protest is scheduled to start at 1 p.m."

Anyone know about parking availability?

[Fearless Flyers]

Sorry Carol I'm not familiar with the area and so far no one from Hollywood has chimed in about the event.

This isn't surprising if you think about it the area is full of a bunch of French Canadians and other wimps.

[shetlan]

"...the area is full of a bunch of French Canadians and other wimps."

Do you think it will be safe for horses and kite flying patriotic women?

[anncoulteriscool]

As Dennis Miller said, our troops overseas are fighting to preserve the right for these people to continue to make a total ass of themselves!
