PATRIOTS RALLY FOR AMERICA V: Liberty Weekend in DC March 23

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all patriotic Americans, including Freepers and lurkers in good standing, to join us at the east front steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC Sunday, March 23, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to Rally for America.

This rally is organized by the DC Chapter of Free Republic as a part of the Free Republic community and is held in conjunction with Free Republic Network's rallies nationwide next weekend.

We 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.

Bring your American flags and show our troops -- including the many active duty military that may be hard at work at the Pentagon and other places in our immediate community -- that we support and respect their hard work.

When: Sunday, March 23rd, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Where: Lincoln Memorial, the foot of the east steps (facing the reflecting pool and monument)

Directions: Closest Metro stop is Foggy Bottom on the orange line. Detailed driving directions for people coming from out of town will be posted below in this thread.

Rules: We have obtained the proper permits for this peaceful rally and we do not expect any counterprotests. 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.

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: Too soon to tell, but it's been beautiful here recently. Mostly sunny, temps in the low 60s, this weekend. Cherry Blossom Festival will be upon us next weekend, although the trees may not yet be in full bloom.

If you're coming from out of town, send any message/question you have to our out-of-town contact guide for this rally (that would be me, FreeTheHostages).

We had a great rally this last weekend and gots lots of national news broadcasts to our beloved troops that we support them. Let's do it again! Do it for the Troops!

It has been brought to my attention the I made an error in judgement yesterday when I recited the Pledge of Allegiance and intentionally left out the phrase "Under God" for the shock value.

I apologize to one and all who were offended by my ill-considered action. At the time, it seemed like a good idea, and a good way to make a point that, FRankly, is highly irritating to me.

In the future, I will choose another venue to make my point re: the Pledge of Allegiance.

FReegards.

Well, there's one thing we ALL agree on and that's that the Ninth Circuit's decision is HIGHLY irritating. I would reserve the word "highly" for those guys!! May the Supreme Court soon reverse them. Frank, my dear, you're too likeable to be "highly irritating."

[Taxman]

Thanks, FTH. Have you recovered FRom your intense labors of Saturday and Sunday?

[FreeTheHostages]

:) It only seems that I worked intensely Sunday because I have Press Table Attitude (PTA). Actually, Angelwood had to wake up at 6:30 a.m. that day and others got to the rally site much sooner.

Well, then, I should properly ask them if they have recovered FRom their long hours and hard work, as well.

Thank you all for your efforts on behalf of our FRee Republic.

LOL, stop grovelling!! Taxman, we're not going to KILL you. We might give you, oh, say a cake with some of the letters of your name missing. ;)
