ANNOUNCEMENT: D.C. CHAPTER COUNTER-PROTEST OF ANSWER ANTI-WAR MARCH 3/15/03
D.C. Chapter ^ | Wednesday, March 12, 2003 | Kristinn

Posted on 03/12/2003 12:44:19 PM PST by kristinn

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us this Saturday, March 15, from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. as we hold a patriotic counter-protest of the so-called anti-war march being held by IAC-A.N.S.W.E.R. in Washington, D.C.

While professing to be against war and racism, the groups behind this march have strong overtones of anti-semitism and support communist governments that wage war on their own people and other nations.

The D.C. Chapter will be making a patriotic moral stand against the marchers' anti-Americanism and willful silence about the barbaric, terrorist regime of Saddam Hussein.

We will also be sending a message of support to our men and women in uniform fighting the war on terrorism overseas and on the home-front.

Survivors of Saddam's reign of terror, many of whom are American citizens, will join us to put the lie to those who claim that the Iraqi people do not want to be liberated and to speak out about Saddam's crimes against humanity.

When: Saturday, March 15 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Where: North sidewalk of Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, between 15th Street and 9th Street.
Meet at 15th and Penn. at 1 p.m.

Bring: American and Gadsden flags (large and small), along with signs bearing messages supporting our troops, President Bush, America and the war on terror.

Weather: Mostly sunny, temps in the low 60s.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

I'm going to miss you guys. I'm running the live thread. You all may be rightfully amused to note I've actually lost my voice. *cough* Hold an American flag high for me, OK?

Why, thank you, you're too kind.

I also have never protested, but I too am there for a local support the troops rally this weekend.

Thanks again, have fun, let's compare notes after our first protests!

Mind if I share a few poster ideas?

And as always: The best "sign" is the US Flag! :)

(Best bet for maximum readability: Large White background, and Large BLACK letters/Max 7-9 words)

It's not looking great for the West Potomac teenage republicans. For some reason, it seems like everyone all of a sudden has something to do on Saturday. I'm going to try to rally the troops so that we can have a showing but I'm not too optomistic at the moment. We haven't been very organized this week. A meeting was never called so the word never got out to everyone. I'll see what I can do for tomorrow and hopefully I'll see you all there!

Aw geez! Looks like we'll be cold and wet in San Francisco for our rally. But then the other side needs a long overdue shower so I shouldn't complain.

I'm scheduled for a live interview on Channel 4 between 9 and 10 a.m. from the Washington Monument. I so love getting up early on the weekends.

Can't you just not even wait til all these anti-American termites have gone back to their hives?

I'm glad it will all be over before the weather gets really good.
