The D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com invites all those who support our troops and their mission fighting the war on terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere at home and abroad to join us in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, September 23, 2006, from noon to 3 p.m. on the grounds of the Washington Monument at 17th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW.
With the media, liberal politicians and leftist-led so-called antiwar protesters doing everything they can to bring about America's defeat, it is imperative that those of us who love this country do everything in our power to ensure America's victory and her survival as a free republic.
Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was in Iraq last week trying to assure the troops that they still have the support of the American people. The troops are aware of what happened during Vietnam and they are concerned the country will do the same to them. All they see in the news overseas is antiwar protests because our side doesn't turn out in sufficient numbers when when pro-mission rallies are held.
We are hoping to change this for once by giving folks five weeks notice to plan accordingly. Everyone has their excuses as to why they can't take a day off from their busy lives to send a public message of support for our troops and their mission. Well, after five years of hearing those excuses and with the fate of the nation in the balance, I think it's time to bag the excuses and take a day off and devote it coming to Washington to send a message of support not just to the troops, but to their Commander-in-Chief, the nation and the world.
Also, by turning out you will send a strong message to our enemies abroad and at home that we have not lost our will and that we will not be defeated in Iraq, Afghanistan or anywhere.
Please make the commitment to attend and help spread the word about the rally to your families, friends and co-workers.
As we have done in the past with these rallies, the members of the D.C. Chapter will be digging in to their own pockets to put the rally on, but we could use help. If you'd like to contribute, please click here. We'd like to be able to promote the rally with 10 second radio ads in the D.C. area to help get the word out beyond the Internet. We will also be reaching out to other groups like we did with last September's rally.
I want to thank all our FRiends who have joined and helped us in the past. We hope you'll be able to join us again next month.
Details as to speakers and other events associated with the rally will be announced over the coming weeks.

I'm working a birthday party at that time Kristinn. Maybe next rally. It's hard to believe the March for Justice was 8 years ago. I've only been out in public with the Freepers one other time - - at the Naval Observatory during the AlGore election theft attempt in 2000. I'm feeling like such a lurker these days.
Oh, how I do wish I could be there. That is the day I head out to Washington (state)and CA. I've already put my departure date off twice. My mom and I plan on going by the Reagan Library while we are out there.
I've been told that when Walter Reid is closed that many of the patients will be placed at Womack down here. The moonbats would have to start making a long trek down if that were to happen. I know that Bethesda would get lots of the WR patients also. If it does happen, we'll get to Freep more than once a year here in Fayetteville.
You guys have fun. If there is anyone reading this who has never participated in a Freep before, you really should go to this. It is so awesome to be a part of any of the rallies in DC.
