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.

If you have a "time frame" for the speakers, it would be helpful. Our friends live within walking distance in some of the brownstones nearby. Thanks

11am - 1:30pm

Specific times for each speaker are being worked out now; but as I'm sure you know, traffic in DC and train/plane schedules can sometimes cause on-the-spot schedule changes.

Tell your friends to come for the entire rally. The weather is going to be near perfect.

Hoo Rah, New Jersey!

Are you bringing a carload of hardy souls with you?

[LaserLock]

I'll be taking Amtrak.

[tgslTakoma]

Are you coming in Friday or Saturday? If Friday, keep an eye out for info on the get-together Friday evening. If coming down for the day only, it looks like it'll be a nice day to walk down to the Capitol grounds from Union Station. We'll see you at the rally!

[LaserLock]

I'm coming in Saturday morning.

Any takers in the area to provide a ride for me yet? I live in the Eastern Panhandle of WV and exactly 50 minutes from Dulles airport and 1.30 hour from downtown DC. I will be more than happy to provide gas money and loan you some *awesome* signs to counter protest (left over from a MoveOn.org anti-war rally my College Republicans trashed last year). Only mentioning this again so it doesn't go chaotic to the last minute.

Bump! It's quite late, but I just may show up. It's a long drive on short notice. Please keep me posted of any others. I need to log on more. Thank you, to any of you that are going. How quickly so many people forget... you will all be there to remind them!
