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.

Giving the busloads of anti-war, anti-American protesters a send-off full of witty signs and flags unfurled will certainly give them something to think about during the trip. It's a terrific idea and a way for other chapters to take part in the Infinite FReep of these groups.

Wow, this sounds like the real deal! I doubt ours is going to be quite this organized, but we'll do the best we can! BTW, I'm going to the Embarcadero on Wednesday to scout out meeting sites. I'll get back to you after that...

Good morning, my friend,

I look forward to seeing you and standing side by side with you and the D.C. Chapter, once again.

kristinn called me, and with a little arm-twisting (actually none at all) persuaded me to start the Rally off at 11 a.m., as before. I promise another, fire-breathing speech with ALL NEW MATERIAL, so I hope folks will be there on time to start Patriots Rally II.

I would love to join you guys but I'll be in Quincy, Mass for a John Adams symposium, planned in advance.

I know you guys will give the hippies what they so richly deserve. Will await the after-action reports with my usual gleeful anticipation.

This close to the election, anyone with a close race nearby might choose to fight the election fight, as I am. Thanks for the ping, though.

Good morning everyone! I have a report from deep behind enemy lines, here in the new crime and terrorism capital of our great nation:

Overnight my FReepermobile was broken into, while it was parked in front of my humble home in the Nuclear Free Zone of Takoma Park, MD. For those of you who aren't familiar with me, my vehicle is a very old White Isuzu. It looked like he!! but it was (almost) dependable.

The miserable pukes who broke into it stole the radio, a cop-sized can of pepper spray, some coins, a box of irreplaceable FReeper signs that we used at the DNC FReep including Kristinn's "Sore Loserman" sign (he must not be meant to have one for any length of time), my FReeper backpack (with markers, stapler, string, tape, ponchos, etc.) and my bag of heavy duty night-FReep flashlights! Rat bastards!

The things they left behind... 4 large American Flags on 8' poles, my emergency CB radio, a carton of cigarettes, and my "Gore Wars bullhorn" which was in a black trash bag. Interesting that they didn't take the flags and the cigarettes. Commie pukes!

In the greater scheme of things here in the free-fire zone, my little trials and tribulations are a fly-speck, but deeply disturbing nonetheless. Oh, woe the loss of FReeper history...
