Lookie here, from the WP no less:

Not everyone on the Mall today is opposing military involvement in Iraq. A group of counter-protesters assembled about 9 a.m. to demonstrate support for both U.S. troops abroad and Bush's policies toward Iraq.

Kristinn Taylor, a co-leader of Free Republic, a conservative news and activism Web site that helped organize the event, said that 200 to 400 people were expected to turn out for the counter-protest, which is also supported by the D.C. chapter of MOVEOUT (Marines and Other Veterans Engaging Outrageous Un-American Traitors).

Taylor said that the group supports the president's policies toward Iraq because to do nothing "is the enslavement of the Iraqi people and the Iraqi government having weapons of mass destruction."

Kathryn C. Wood, of Burke, Va., a co-leader of Free Republic, said, "We're out here to support the troops. They defend our freedom and our rights."

Thanks posting this reminder about how Free Republic is not just a news junky hangout.

A lot of great conservative activities come about thanks to Free Republic.

I can remember those dark and depressing days when the Goron tried to steal that election.

When I saw what our DC Freepers were doing in active protests, I woke up and shook off my depression and got very involved. My news came for Free Republic, and about 3 times a day that news went out to my private email list.

My friends, relatives and former business associates had no idea about was happening because of the news blackout on FR's great Freepers in DC. The news of those brave Freepers got a lot of the people on my list involved.
