HEAR YE, HEAR YE, HEAR YE - Last FReeper call to save Santa for the children of Kensington, Maryland
click here for map, directions to this FReep ^ | The Thirtieth of November in the Year of Our Lord 2001 | Hail Caesar

Posted on 11/30/2001 1:30:14 PM PST by Hail Caesar

HEAR YE, HEAR YE, HEAR YE

To: Lord Council Members of the Town of Kensington, in the County of Montgomery, unFree State of Maryland

By your continued banishment of humble acts of religious homage to our Creator and your recent ban of Santa from your traditional "Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony", we have no other choice but to rise up in opposition to your continuing tyranny over the minds of our children and the American Way.

We hereby find you guilty of the high crimes of Treason Against the Christmas Spirit and Secular Tyranny against the Constitution of the United States.

We shall impose sentence upon you this Sunday, the Second Day of December in the Year of Our Lord 2001.

Signed:

Free Citizen Patriots of the United States of America

"Kensington Town Council: Your uninvited guests have arrived. We have just come from church and are mad as h*ll - we mean heck - :-) and we're not going let you impose secular tyranny upon our families anymore."

The battle begins around 3:30 p.m. upon the 2nd of December in the Year of Our Lord 2001.

Join us! - All PATRIOTS welcome!

What:

FReepers disguised as Santa Claus, elves, other helpers (Christians, etc.), to raid the anti-Christmas Kensington Town Council's "Celebration of the American Spirit Through Lights and Music" (which has banned Santa from lighting the traditional Town Tree). The dreaded Tyranny Response Team Special Operations Units will be on hand to protect FReeper patriots from the arrogant-meanspirited-condescending-liberals and secular heretics who may try to subvert this battle that we fight for the children of Kensington!

When:

Sunday, December 2, 2001
3:30 p.m. - until? (Their "ceremony" is scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m.) This FReep is on whether the Town Council eventually surrenders or not!

Where:

Kensington Town Hall ("Armory") http://www.tok.org/
3710 Mitchell Street
Kensington, MD 20895

Location Map and directions (click link below):

http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Tmap&addr=3710+Mitchell+Street&city=Kensington&state=MD&slt=39.026000&sln=-77.074100&name=&zip=20895-3350&country=us&BFKey=&BFCat=&BFClient=&mag=9&desc=&cs=9&newmag=10&poititle=&poi=

Battle Plan:

Patriots will peaceably assemble near the Kensington Armory beginning around 3:30 p.m. and then occasionally disperse along all access and egress streets to the ceremony's location. Remember, no profanity, no racism, no threats, no violence, etc., will be tolerated at the scene. A demonstration/protest permit is NOT required for this; regardless, local law enforcement officers should be treated with respect. We hope that the local Praetorian Guard will lay down their arms and join our side in this revolt against government imposed "political correctness." We must remain "on message", defend the 1st Amendment, freedom of religion, freedom from this local government's tyranny, while we counterattack the Town Council's secular assault on Christmas. Remember that we are doing this FOR THE CHILDREN! - :-)

Yup, we know that most of the local police and firefighters are with us on this one. I think the Kensington VFD is going to need more trucks to accomodate all the Santas that will converge on the town this Sunday.

The fact that everyone says have a "Happy Holiday" instead of "Merry Christmas" shows that they are brain washed and indoctrinated by the P.C. police. 94% of Americans celebrate CHRISTMAS--so why can't the other 6.% who don't show some tolerance to the other 94%?? This 6% should say Merry Chrismas and show some respect and tolerance to the other 94%..Why can't these 2 families who are so offended by Santa show some tolerance to the children and families of this town. Why do people keep rolling over for these intolerant fanatics who want to ruin it for everyone else. I say Merry Christmas and bring on the Kensington Santa. Hey, and if anyone is offended--get over it.

You're quite right. However, this time WE are going to march through the Town of Kensington as Civil War General Sherman did through Atlanta. ;-)

P.S. with all due respect and apologies to our Southern Patriots here.

Yes, the Kensington Fire Department is the good guys of Kensington, I have been business owner in Kensington for the past 14 years, and worked in Kensington for a total of 21 years and the present Mayor is an idiot and the Fire Department is the best thing in the town, they organize all kinds of really nice events for kids and they are very patriotic. It's too bad the town leaders are such morons

We will be shouting "Merry Christmas", "Happy Chanukah", even "Ramadan Mubarak" - if we see any Muslims. ;-)

You will not hear any secular "politically correct" b.s. from our front-line FReepers this Sunday!

Most FReepers are very patriotic, too, and strongly support our local Fire Departments. However, we should be on the lookout for professional provocateurs who may show up this Sunday in order to start trouble with our protestors and attempt make us all "look bad."

I can see the scene now...

Town Leader 1: "Oh, look! Santa left us a lump of coal on the town hall steps."

Town Leader 2: "Well, don't just stand there. Pick it up. We can use it heat our office."

Town Leader 1 picks it up

Town Leader 1: "Well, it's soft. Much too soft to be coal." "EEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!!"

;0)

FNC gave a pretty straight report of the proposed freep at Kensington: Jim Engle said that "some renegades" were going to crash the party as Santa Claus and then implied that, under this dire threat, the council had folded its cards - and he was beaming from ear to ear when he said it.

We cheered heartily here at home and D28Man said, "All we had to do was point Doctor Raoul, fully loaded, at 'em and they folded!"

That's the power of Free Republic, folks. Note the address: FreeRepublic, LLC PO Box 9771, Fresno, CA 93784

AND SEND YOUR CHECK TO KEEP PATRIOTISM WORKING!

Some Santa needs to show up at the Fire Department. They advised they would be more than glad to provide a ride.

I saw that on Fox News tonight. Jim Angle - sitting in for Brit Hume - said that the fire department said that if Santa showed up at the fire station, they would deliver him to the tree lighting, just as they always have.

Please, someone dressed as Santa show up at the fire station.

"the fire department said that if Santa showed up at the fire station, they would deliver him to the tree lighting, just as they always have."

BUTTTT, will Santa be allowed to light the main "holiday tree" (in front of the children) as he has done for over thirty years now? Will the Levine School of Music be performing CHRISTMAS carols (not "happy holiday" songs)??

I have no problem with the firemen and policemen lighting the tree. As for the music, if there aren't enough people there who know Christmas carols and can drown out any PC singers, I'd be surprised.
