A few closing notes:

1) The "long distance" award goes to Ron H. He had two of the best signs (President Bush and the Terrorist Hunting Permit), was the first Freeper to show, and had by a wide margin the longest drive.
2) The large "We Support Our Troops" sign was organized by Flyer. Several Freepers made financial contributions in that effort.
3) Humblegunner allowed for the use of his home as a staging area.
4) In walking to the Freep, I noticed six automobiles owned by the “anti-American” crowd that had safety/environmental and/or registration stickers that were expired. He noted the make and models and pointed the locations to the police in attendance. One of them stated that they would right citations. I don't like the stickers (or paying for them) as much as anyone else, but if I must pay, then they also must pay).
5) In granting interviews regarding why we were here, I was very polite and mentioned specifics of Powell's presentation, failure of the UN regarding enforcement of their resolutions, explanation why war is the only option left, and comparing the WMD disarmament of Iraq versus other countries (RSA, Kazhakstan, and Ukraine).

Good job, folks !

I meant to include you in my last post here Angel !

Let me share an excerpt from another article, btw...

Excellent ! Thanks for the post !

Tony Blair: The price of my conviction

But there are also consequences of 'stop the war'. There will be no march for the victims of Saddam, no protests about the thousands of children that die needlessly every year under his rule, no righteous anger over the torture chambers which if he is left in power, will remain in being.

I rejoice that we live in a country where peaceful protest is a natural part of our democratic process. But I ask the marchers to understand this.

I do not seek unpopularity as a badge of honour. But sometimes it is the price of leadership and the cost of conviction.

If there are 500,000 on the [Stop the War] march, that is still less than the number of people whose deaths Saddam has been responsible for. If there are one million, that is still less than the number of people who died in the wars he started.

So if the result of peace is Saddam staying in power, not disarmed, then I tell you there are consequences paid in blood for that decision too. But these victims will never be seen, never feature on our TV screens or inspire millions to take to the streets. But they will exist none the less.



President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair of England walk out to address the media in Cross Hall at the White House Nov. 7. "We've got no better friend in the world than Great Britain," said the President during his remarks. White House photo by Paul Morse.

Great report Petroni. And good work yesterday to you guys from H.A.T. and glad I could contribute where I could. Wish more local Americans could have participated with us but maybe they'll try harder in the future. We'll all have to work harder on that.

Again, thanks to all who were able to show up and support our cause and to those who were with us in spirit if not in body. And do not forget, this 'taint over by a long shot.

I'm putting this out to people engaged in Operation Infinite FReeps nationwide.

I'm at work right now and I just thought of the idea of reading letters from our troops over a megaphone. The way we're begining to work it out is this:
Someone who has contact with personnel overseas sends an email to him/her with the message, "If you or your friends wanted to say anything to peace protesters, what would it be?" Also letters might include things like what they ate today, stuff that shows the world that they're American human beings like the rest of us. Of course, no operations details or profanity. But I'm hoping that when these letters are read to the peaceniks, they might actually start to feel less significant.

We're planning to do this on Sat. in Colorado. I'm hoping you others can pass the word and share ideas. Thanks for your time....FREEP ON!!!!

I don't know why I didn't think of this before!!!)

GREAT JOB HOUSTON!! Keep it up! Now is the time to go on the offensive. Start FReeping at a regular time and place every week, you don't need any peace-niks around to show our troops that you support them. They are seeing these reports.
All the Best!
