ANNOUNCING: THE PATRIOTS RALLY FOR AMERICA II, OCTOBER 26 IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
D.C. Chapter ^ | Monday, October 14, 2002 | Kristinn

Posted on 10/14/2002 6:23:11 AM PDT by kristinn

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing, as well as their friends and families, to join us in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, October 26, 2002 for the Patriots Rally for America II.

As the United States prepares to take the next step in the war on terrorism, we will be gathering to show support for our troops, America and to serve as a patriotic counter-point to the anti-American leftists who will be holding an "anti-war" rally and march the same day in D.C.

The "anti-war" rally, organized by International ANSWER, will be held right next to the Vietnam War Memorial on the Mall at Constitution Gardens, a safe four blocks away from our rally site at the Washington Monument.

The Patriots Rally for America will feature speakers and recorded music. Supporters are encouraged to bring large American and Gadsden flags. Also, please bring signs bearing messages supporting America, our troops and the war on terrorism.

The anti-American left will be fearmongering that day; raising their tired old cliches of quagmires, body bags and blood for oil. Their real message is that America is an evil nation and should not defend itself against any threats.

They dream of re-living the glory days of the Sixties, when spitting on soldiers and burning the flag were 'cool.'

While we respect their First Amendment rights to speak out (indeed, several of our members fought to protect those rights), we vehemently disagree with their message and will not allow them to take to the streets unanswered.

Members of the D.C. Chapter are financing the Patriots Rally for America, but we could use some help. We have pared back our budget for this rally to around $4,000 compared to the $7,000 we spent on last April's Patriots Rally.

The cost for staging, sound and porta-potties will be around $3,500. We are budgeting $500 for incidental costs.

If you would like to help, please click this link.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for demonstrating will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no racism, no profanity, no threats, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

When: Saturday, October 26, 2002 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., rain or shine.

Where: The Washington Monument at the corner of 17th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW.

Hi Dave! I can't be there, but I'd be glad relay info!

Sneakers, thanks - just want to make sure you know what you may be getting into - we will be calling approx every 20 minutes with updates - off times if the situation dictates. This will start before the official 1100 kick-off time - would like to start around 0900 as we will have a lot of descriptions of the scene in DC as well as the set up - and might go a bit beyond the official end time. We call and you post on a live thread that you start with the Patriots Rally for America II - Live Thread title. If you have a cell we can call, all the better, so you can post as we call and save the time of loging on and off to take calls and post. Again, thanks, please FReepmail.

This is one of those signs hellinahandcart was talking about: it looks PC until you raise it up a little higher.

We're honored that you will once again grace our rally with your spirited oratory. It wouldn't be a Patriots Rally without you.
