Patriots Rally For America - Live Report

Dave Dilegge - Live From DC | 20 April 2002 | Mustang

[Mustang]

Received two cell calls from Dave. The stage is set. The flags are waving. The weather is great. They're ready to Roll! Around 0945 the crowd was 50+ including Kristinn, sauropod, Leadpenny, Angelwood, Exit 148, GoreWarVet, Dutchy, Congressman Billy Bob, Black Agnes, TaxMan, TGSL DeComa, WhoKnowsWhatEvil, FireBrand, Country Dummy, Stan Waite, Pro2aMom, 0351Dog. (please pardon any mispelled "names" or omissions. The cell connections were poor).

Around 1015 the crowd was continuing to grow, with some spill over from the Peacenik/anarchist nitwits. Dave reports that it was the port-o-potties that attracted them. But our fearless Freepers labelled the doors "Patriots" and Patriot Women". It seems to be turning them away.

More to follow. Mustang sends from Florida.

Donation to People's Rights Fund
People's Video Network Project

The People's Video Network (PVN) comprises a group of media activists dedicated to producing videos about issues the establishment media won't touch. Its goals are to broaden public access to the mass media, build an alternative media source, expand video literacy among the people and build a national network of cable-access shows portraying people's movements here and worldwide. PVN now has 50 public-access shows across the U.S. PVN has produced and seeks to get out widely hundreds of videos showing struggles for peace, economic, political, and social justice in the U.S. and abroad. PVN is finishing a new video entitled " Plan Colombia: We Say NO!" A key project is the production of "Viva Chris Hani," a feature-length documentary about the life and work of the extraordinary South African anti-apartheid leader. PVN staff are going to South Africa in April to finish shooting footage for this--the most ambitious PVN video so far. In August, PVN staff are going to South Africa again to videotape the United Nations World Conference Against Racism in Durban. The People's Rights Fund is helping to sponsor the August trip to South Africa which will help PVN to video this groundbreaking event and is accepting donations for the travel expenses. The PVN delegation includes staff members, supporters, and anti-racist activists from the U.S. The People's Rights Fund (PRF) supports the production of many educational videos by PVN. PRF set up a Key Martin Memorial Fund to honor PVN's founder by raising funds to make the "Viva Chris Hani" video that was his vision. PRF has established an Ellen Andors Memorial Fund to support the completion of a video about NATO. This project was begun by PVN producer and editor Ellen Andors who made "Metal of Dishonor," world-renown video about the military use of depleted uranium.

"You know, I'd be all for this two, provided that the US told Israel, OK, you're on your own now. And the handcuffs are off! Do what you will... "

Sounds good except if we were completely uninvolved, Israel should not be looking to us for an OK.

I heard the man reporter for Fox news in DC at the protest sites say "handful" of Anti-Anti war protestors.

Et tu, Fox?

[Hail Caesar]

The Tyranny Response Team (TRT) checks in. ;-)

Mission Accomplished! and CONGRATULATIONS D.C. Chapter FReepers!!

Though this was not a TRT sanctioned operation, several of our members showed up today in support of our American troops and the Constitution! (note the Osama Bin Laden skull on top of the TRT's U.S. flag ;-).

[CyberAnt]

How many bets will you take that the majority of them ARE NOT CITIZENS of America - Hmmmm??

[Hail Caesar]

Former U.S. Congressman "B-1 Bob" Dornan addresses the FReepers!

[CyberAnt]

"where the money comes from"

My best guess would be the same place the "homicide bombers" money comes from.

[Hail Caesar]

Maryland TRT member "Clay More" with D.C. Chapter FReepers Warlord "kristinn"

[CyberAnt]

That's okay - Jesus already bought us the last laugh!!

[Hail Caesar]

"...I would have been concerned for our safety if there hadn't been dozens of DC cops there to watch over us..."

Actually you were quite safe. There were several decorated combat veterans among us patriots there today. Many of us faced off the leftists when we were outnumbered over 100 to 1 during the S.29 "anti-war" demonstrations Sept. 29th last year. A handful of screaming college kids would have been no match at all. ;-)

Lawsuits would have followed...

[cake_crumb]

"Lawsuits would have followed..."

Yep.

"Lawsuit" = "loaded gun of the left"

[Hail Caesar]

true, true...so it's just as well the Park Police handled the disruptors...after all, the police around here are used to being sued anyway. ;-)

[Hail Caesar]

Maryland TRT/FReepers, LiberalBuster and GunsareOK.

[old blue beemer]

"Lawsuit" = "loaded gun of the left" = gutlessness

such a course, encouraged as it would be by an ethically bankrupt legal 'profession',
would once again leave the leftist(s) who's filed suit looking to his or her betters
for both enforcement of any verdict AND protection from the wrath of the raped.

merely another demonstration of their essential cowardice...

That has always been one of the fears when we held rallies such as this. There were minor altercations at all three previous national events, the March For Justice, Judgement Day Rally and the House Managers Rally. A Navy Vet, who was the event coordinator, actually hired private security for the MFJ (5000 attended) and at the other two we used FReepers to keep things from getting out of control (Thanks to Doughtyone and The Shrew, in particular). That worked because the permits were pulled by Bob Barr's office, which is where the underlying liability ultimately exists. Unfortunately, if there are incidents, the event organizers would also be named.
