Supporters of Operation Iraqi Freedom will conduct a nationwide caravan along with more than 2-dozen rallies calling for continued support of U.S. troops based in Iraq in the days leading up to General David Petraeus September 15th report to Congress.
From September 3, 2007 through September 15, 2007 the nation’s largest grassroots, pro-troop organization, Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org) will lead thousands of supporters in a cross-country effort called the “FIGHT FOR VICTORY TOUR.”
“We’ll launch the cross-country caravan Monday, September 3rd with rallies outside the offices of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in California,” said Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward.
“The caravan will then continue across the nation until we reach Washington, D.C. for a giant pro-troop rally on September 15th – the day that General David Petraeus, the U.S. Commanding General in Iraq, delivers his report on ‘The Surge’ to Congress,” Morgan said.
“During the cross-country caravan we will stop and conduct pro-troop rallies that will be attended by thousands upon thousands of patriotic Americans who believe that our leaders cannot be allowed to undercut our troops who are bravely serving on the frontlines of the war against Islamic jihadism,” said Robert Dixon, Executive Director of Move America Forward.
The current schedule for the caravan includes pro-troop rally stops in more than 2 DOZEN cities across America including: Carson City, NV - Sacramento, CA - San Francisco, CA – Modesto, CA - Fresno, CA - Los Angeles, CA - San Diego, CA - Yuma, AZ - Phoenix, AZ - Tucson, AZ - Las Cruces, NM - El Paso, TX - San Antonio, TX - Waco, TX - Crawford, TX - Dallas, TX - Oklahoma City, OK - Wichita, KS - Kansas City, MO - Des Moines, IA - Cedar Rapids, IA - Chicago, IL - Indianapolis, IN - Cincinnati, OH - Columbus, OH – Pittsburgh, PA - Washington D.C.

You got it Bro...THANK YOU!!!!!!!
We’re all gonna plant a tree somewhere.
PITTSBURGH!!!!
I put this on GOE and Eagles UP! ....Please Read. Also if you go the Move American Forward they have a couple of others to....
don’t know how realistic this is but….
ANSWER is a coalition right? They have their own website. Maybe we just need a simple website for Sept 15 where all the groups can exchange information. Maybe you want to make it for the leadership only maybe not. Do not have to have a “fancy” website just enough of one to exchange information and not let the ANSWER enemy know more than they have to.
AS I see it there are 4 maybe 5 groups (there might be more major players I do not know about)
Eagles up
GOE
Move America Forward (planning a big presence)
Vets for Freedom (already got a good start)
Eagles Nest
IF our enemy can have a coalition why can’t we inspite of any differences of philosophy or methods?
We need basic information:
Where do we stand and do we stand in one place or travel about?
Where will the port a potties be? (an important issue for some of us if not all)
Will we be chanting something or singing something? (will we have a leader that can lead a group)
a card/flyer should emphasize Sept 15 event and a link to place that has logistical info. I don’t think you will have trouble convincing others to come to this - just give them a place to go and a task to perform. AND Keep it simple for us ‘simple’ people. Don’t confuse us with different logistics on different websites
As you see on the MAF website we're link to each of the groups as they come on board while we simultaneously speak to everyone behind the scenes.
We've told the event organizers that whatever official name is agreed upon for the events of September 15th is what we'll gladly embrace, and that in the interim we're planning the Sept 3rd - 15th contribution we're making as we get the ball rolling with the "Fight for Victory Tour" - the national pro-troop caravan with 25+ pro-troop rallies along the way... to build the momentum leading to the 15th.
There will also be the Sept. 10th event by GOE which we support as well and will help.
On top of that you're going to see Vets for Freedom and Families United doing drills in August to build up to the big September push.
I think we're all fighting for the same goal and doing so constructively and cooperatively.
Just wanted to chime in with the knowledge I have and hope that helps provide further clarity as to what is in the works.
Any questions/comments about any of that? I'll happily answer best I can!!
