SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! Freedom Rally Against Terror and Tyranny on Sat., Oct. 25, 2003 in Wash., D.C.

D.C. Chapter ^ | Tuesday, October 7, 2003 | Kristinn and Angelwood

[kristinn]

For too long, America's fighting men and women have been laboring on a two-front war not of their choosing: The front against terror and tyranny that they volunteered for, and the flank that we must defend for them against efforts by the media and leftists to undermine their morale and resolve.

All summer long, and now into fall, our brave men and women have been doing great work in Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas around the world eliminating terrorist threats to our security while bringing freedom to oppressed people.

Those efforts have been buried under an onslaught of biased reporting and political maneuvering by the enemies of freedom at home and abroad.

On Saturday, October 25 at 11 a.m., patriotic Americans will gather at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. to stand up for our troops and reiterate our support for them, their Commander-in-Chief, America and the war on terror.

All FReepers and lurkers in good standing, their friends and families, and all who support our troops and their mission are encouraged to attend. Nothing but a strong public showing will do. Those in uniform are making great sacrifices. The least we can do is give up one day to say "thank you!" to them.

What: The Freedom Rally Against Terror and Tyranny

When: Saturday, October 25, 2003, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Where: The West Front of the Capitol Building at 3rd Street, on the Mall.

Bring: American and Gadsden flags (large and small,) service and Blue Star flags, and signs bearing messages of support for our troops.

Confirmed Speakers:
The Honorable Robert K. Dornan
Niger Innis
Blanquita Cullum
Rebecca Davis.

More speakers to be announced soon.

This rally will be held rain or shine.

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.

This will be the 6th rally in the last 18 months we have sponsored. We haven't done them all by ourselves and we are most appreciative of the help we have received. We humbly ask once again for any help that can be provided to send a message of support for our troops. Please click here to help.

Special thanks to Registered for the logos.

I'm looking forward to hearing you speak about the Maine greeters for the homebound troops. I'm very glad that they arrive greeted by supportive citizens bearing cheeseburgers, cell phones, phone cards, etc. -- thank goodness this is a situation opposite of Vietnam when our returning troops were spat upon and called terrible names.

Bumpity-Bump

We need to show support for our troops. My friend's nephew thought he would not be able to wear his uniform (a proud Marine!) out in public when he returned home. He thought people would be yelling and swearing at him. Dang CNN - the only TV news they get to see in Iraq and Kuwait.

If you haven't ever gone to the links that Tonk puts up, do it now and send off a "we love you, we support you and we pray for your safe return" to anyservicemember!

Do it now - do it often. They need to hear from us.

[Bigg Red]

Can't be there, friend, but I am sending a donation.

Thanks for all you do!

I don't know how to say this, other than just to say it. But why did they ask Dornan to speak?

Bummer!!!

NO offense guys, but we just "CRINGE" when he even comes on Hannity and Colmes. There are a few people that cause a "cringe" factor. Kinda like when they brought Kato Katlin on to speak about how Kobe Bryant will do after the rape trial (Which FoxNews did yesterday!!).

It was just so NICE when Dornan FINALLY went away.. good for the Republican Party. It would be so great if he just STAYED away. Good for the Republican Party. Then we see him at a FREEREPUBLIC event!! ARghhhhhh

Say it Ain't soooooooooo

With all the dynamic speakers out there, I just wish there had been some "other" famous people willing to step forward.

To be honest.. I was hoping to get some friends in DC to come out. But I'm getting a negative reaction to Dornan speaking. Is anyone else hearing this?

(I guess I should put my Tin hat on.. fire away) JUST BE GENTLE TO ME.. K??

He may be a nice man, and even a friend to someone from here FR. But boy.... could we start taking a poll or somethin?

:o)

[kristinn]

First of all, this is not a Republican party event, this is a D.C. Chapter event. Second, Bob Dornan is a friend of the D.C. Chapter. Unlike others 'round these parts, we stand by our friends.

Your opinion is noted. I respectfully disagree.

The D.C. Chapter is honored to have Mr. Dornan speak at our rally, like he has at several before.

Check out the list of confirmed speakers for Saturday! (New rally thread)

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

Okee dokee. We just gotta disagree on Mr. Dornan. I can assure ya.. he rubs some of us wrong.

Now the rest of the speakers.. ROCK!!
