Today, March 14, 2003, the Chicagoland Chapter, a member of the Free Republic Network, announces a Rally for America to be held on March 22, 2003 from 11:30 am to 2 pm in Federal Plaza, Chicago, IL (Map 1 and Map 2). The rally will consist of speakers, flag waving Patriots, and pro-Americanism.

We have a committment from Kevin McCullough from WYLL 1160 AM radio in Chicago. Other noted speakers will be released soon.

We will be extending invitations to many organizations in the Chicago area. If you have a contact in an organization that would like to join us, please send them a link to this thread.

Those coming from Lake shore Drive or 290 can take Congress to Dearborn go north and it is on your left hand side!!

Thanks for your help on this - your media may be a bit more receptive there than our will be.

"Second, I don't think any of us are truly "pro-war", which is the position the anti-war crowed wants to paint us into if we debate them-- i.e., we must be war mongers trying to "rush to war" if we don't agree with the placate Saddem forever crowd. I personally couldn't be happier if war is AVOIDED via Saddem fleeing Iraq or being assassinated prior to a U.S. strike. I'm sure most of us on this forum would share that position."

You got that right, Billy. Our French, German, and Russian "friends" are proving that Appeasement is harmful to children and other living things.

[Chi-townChief]

Susan Sarandon chuckle. How about using my touching little script:

HOLLYWOOD

Dear ___________,

http://www.illinoisleader.com/news/newsview.asp?c=4699

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/865131/posts

This presents a uniquely important and timely way for us to support our nation and our troops at this critical time. It is Chicagoland's special rally, to be held concurrently with rallies all across our precious country this weekend. Please help us see that as many people as feasible may come to Federal Plaza, this Saturday (3/22) from 11:30am to 2pm! While our troops are mobilized and face giving their "last full measure of devotion," to our free nation, this is our way to give them a mite of heart-felt support in return.

But it will only happen if you come! The event will be covered by the local news media as Chicagoland's part in Liberty Weekend, featuring rallies all across our precious country. Wouldn't you like to email the upcoming IllinoisLeader.com or FreeRepublic.com article about this rally to that special person overseas -- and let him or her know that you were there! Please pass on the news, bring children and friends, and show your support for our free nation, our honored troops, and our President.

Please email the news to your contacts as your personal invitation, make that phone call or two, fill up that SUV, and...

...COME!!

My highest regards,
Arlen Williams,
La Grange Park, IL

...adding this "headline" to my emails:

Don't let the "A.N.S.W.E.R." Stalinists and Anti-Defense protesters be what our military sees in the news!

STOP GLOBAL WHINING
DROP BOMBS, NOT ACID
NO BLOOD FOR OIL? DRILL ALASKA!
FRANCE IS NOT THE "THE WHOLE WORLD"
WE GAVE PEACE A CHANCE-- WE GOT 9-11!
DIDN'T THEY INSIST WE SHOULD 'LISTEN TO POWELL'?
