Here is another battle here at home where our troops need our support to protect their children in school! (WABI TV reported Friday that the Maine National Guard Family Assistance Center has received about 30 complaints from children of deployed soldiers concerning Principals, Teachers and Guidance Counselors reportedly demeaning the role of their deployed parent. Some children involved are 7 to 9 years of age. link).

Patriots Rally tees?

I'm not affiliated in any way. I just heard this guy call into a local radio show (Dennis Prager), said he was selling items to help promote supporting our President and troops.

Per assigned task, I talked with Col. North on the radio about 3:50 PM eastern time to promote the Patriots' Rally.

North was asking whether we should delay our attack on Iraq to wait for more UN action. I said that we had waited long enough, if not too long, already.

I said the delays had allowed the "anti-war" protestors too much time to organize. (I said that most of the demonstrators were actually anti-Bush & anti-American.)

I told North that the anti-war demonstrators make me angry & www.FreeRepublic.com is having the Patriots Rally at Sylvan Theatre on March 1 with Bob Dornan as keynote speaker. It is important that people support the troops & call friends in DC area to attend & check for local demonstrations on www.FreeRepublic.com.

As North was talking about the time frame for attack, my phone connection was cut off. Since North doesn't seem to be on the radio around here (DC area) & I couldn't get the online link to work, I couldn't hear the show except when waiting on the phone.

After the conversation, I sent him the below email with the full PR for the event.

[Email to North]:

Col. North,

It was an honor & pleasure to talk with you a few minutes back. (My phone connection apparently went out when you were talking.)

Below is detailed info about the Patriots' Rally to support the troops as mentioned to you. If you would be so kind as to mention this again on the air this week and/or list and link to it on your web page, we would be most appreciative.

Thank you for all your service to the greatest country on earth (and I don't mean France)!

From what I was told via email, we may be getting quite a contingent from Young americans for Freedom. As an old YAFer, I am happy to hear that.

Come on folks, bail me out here... :-)

"There were 5,000 people at the anti-american rally in Washington DC. Isn't there any one in Washington DC that wants to refute the accusation that N. Korea and Viet nam dictatorships are better than American constitution? Isn't there anyone who wants to show thier grandchildren they care about their future?"

Beck's Rally for America message board needs you Capitol Freepers to teach them a thing or two. Please monitor and post: http://freedom.visualdegradation.com/viewtopic.php?t=89

I sent out email announcements about the rally to over 250 email addresses of various conservative, Republican, and veteran groups, mostly DC, MD, and VA people.

Here is a pop up notice about the rally on Baltimore Area Young Republicans. Uses some of the language from my email to them.

[Exit148]

Reading all the plans for Saturday makes me so sad. I do so want to be there with all of you, but a commitment is keeping me at home.

I'll be lookng forward to the reports and of course the photo's from our outstanding photographers.

Freep on!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for holding this rally! I am the fiance of a Marine Captain who is deployed over to fight the "potential" war with Iraq. Myself, along with a few other military wives, fiances, and girlfriends will be attending the rally tomorrow. We were so excited when we heard about it...FINALLY an opportunity to actively support our men...and all the troops who are fighting for our country! :o)
