ANNOUNCING: THE PATRIOTS RALLY FOR AMERICA II, OCTOBER 26 IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

D.C. Chapter ^ | Monday, October 14, 2002 | 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.

Please spread the word about this rally to your friends, families, co-workers and e-mail lists.

The anti-American left is mobilizing and their sympathizers in the media are all too happy to play up their efforts. While we realize we won't match their numbers--we have jobs, families and other responsibilities--we are making this effort to show our men and women in uniform that their work and sacrifices are appreciated and supported.

D.C. Chapter ping!

[Fred Mertz]

I'll know by later this week whether I can make it. I'm hoping so.

[Angelwood]

Thanks for the compliments - they should go to my husband and son for all their efforts to get it up and running.

[Taxman]

Leftist scumbags trashed the handicapped porta-potty before we knew what they were up to. Rendered it totally unusable.

From that point on, the DC Chapter Porta Potty Police guarded the porta-potties. If you were a long-hair, maggot infested, hippy-dippy, dope smoking Communist agitator or Palestinian supporter, you had to go pee across the street, or in one of tgslTakoma's special "honey buckets."

This time, we will be prepared!
