The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic and MOVE-OUT! (Marines and Other Veterans Engaging Outrageous Un-American Traitors!) call all FReepers and lurkers in good standing, veterans and other patriotic Americans to join us in our nation's capital on Saturday, January 18, 2003 to show support for the men and women serving in our Armed Forces, and our Commander-in-Chief, as they continue to fight the war on terrorism and gear up to defend us against out-law regimes like Iraq and North Korea.
The enemy will be taking the field that day in D.C. with an "anti-war" protest organized by the communist front group IAC-A.N.S.W.E.R. with a rally at the Capitol (3rd Street on the Mall) and a march past the Marine Barracks at 8th and I Streets, SE, that finishes at the Washington Navy Yard, 8th and M Streets, SE. Mapquest Link.
Our purpose in gathering is to offer a peaceful, patriotic counter-point to the anti-American leftists who will be spewing their hatred and venom against what they call "America's war machine"--and what we call "the defenders of freedom."
We will muster from 9 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. at Constitution Gardens which is right next to The Wall at 21st Street and Constitution Avenue, NW on the Mall.Mapquest Link.
At 10:30, we will fall out and proceed on foot and via Metro or cars to the Marine Barracks at 8th and I Streets, SE. There, we will line the sidewalk along 8th Street and exercise our rights as citizens to observe the public parade by the leftists and to peacefully offer our opinion of it. You should plan on being there until at least 2 or 3 p.m.
We are asking folks to bring American and Gadsden flags, large and small, and their service colors. Also bring signs with messages supporting our troops and America.
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for demonstrating will be in effect: No violence, no racism, no profanity, no threats, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
We expect the leftists to be peaceful, however there are always a few yahoos who like to stir up trouble. Let the law enforcement officers take care of them. They are experts at crowd control and are there to ensure that everyone's rights are respected.
More details will be announced in the days ahead. We are awaiting approval for our permit at Constitution Gardens, which should come in a few days.
Here is a link to the thread on FR's USO Canteen with the e-mail message from MOVE-OUT!
It would be something if there were support rallies all across the country like in the Sore/Loserman days.
VICTORY IS OURS! Sore/Loserman Rally FReports! Thousands Take to the Streets!
Not to be confused with what the hell it is that that say in "Basic Training" on "The History Channel". That's an Army thing.
It's the Worker's World Party and the Revolutionary Communist Party that is organizing the "anti-war" march. The International Socialist Organization supplies much of the "NO War For Oil" signs. It is in fact a pro-Iraq, pro-North Korea and pro-Castro march. That's the objective of Brian Becker and Clark Kissinger.
PS: We'll have some t-shirts and hats for those who really want to P.O. the little Ed Asner followers.
Now that bares repeating!
;-)
You always do, Fred; and I'll say "thank you" for the rest of the chapter.
But we still want you here, if it's at all do-able for you.
Subject: Military Thank You Card
Subject: Military Thanks!If you are so inclined, visit the Department of Defense web page below
and sign a brief message thanking the men and women of the U.S. military
services for defending our freedom. The compiled list of names will be
sent out to our soldiers at the end of the month. So far, there are
only about 1,400,000 names. What a shame.
There should be hundreds of millions of thank yous.
Pass the word that we can honor and support the defenders of freedom.National Military Appreciation Month

Why? Do you know an elderly Congressman?
We'll see you there! Your assignment will be to protect FreetheHostages... or is it the other way around?
They do tend to be on the small side, crowd-wise; but what we lack in number, we make up for in heart and soul. I'd love to see you down here again, RB, but understand that we all have jobs and families that sometimes need our attention, too.
We'll keep hammering the message that the organizers and bankrollers of the so-called "peace movement" are communist groups, socialist groups, and the terrorist lobby. The brain-dead soccer moms will eventually recognize that they are supporting those who wish us dead and our way of life to be history. Eventually the major media will catch on and start doing a little of their own digging. I know, I'm an optimist sometimes.
I hope (for his sake) he leaves his kilt at home. January is way too cold for that outfit.
Maybe you can relocate the meeting to DC?
If they stray too far from the parade route they could make a few "donations" to help the local economy.
