(CNSNews.com) - The anti-war activist group Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) faces a $10,000 fine from the city of Washington if it fails to remove thousands of fliers it has posted to advertise a September anti-war march. "They have told us that we have 72 hours to remove every poster, or the fines will go into effect," the group said in a statement Tuesday. "Tens of thousands of dollars in additional fines are expected in the coming days." The group accuses "Bush's Interior Department" of using "intimidation tactics to slow our outreach or silence" the antiwar...

The Muslim American Society will be in D.C. on 9/15 in full force.  These people aren’t playing around. It is imperative that we stand up to them and every other anti-American group that will be there on September 15th.  Our troops and our nation can settle for no less than victory in Iraq and Afghanistan…and we as Eagles can settle for nothing less than victory on the home front.

A blog written by antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan and posted on MichaelMoore.com criticizes Charlotte police for allowing counter-protesters to "try to intimidate us" during Sheehan's antiwar rally Tuesday in Bryant Park. But in a memo to top police administrators, one captain said officers had no issues during the two-hour event and expressed surprise at the complaints. "At the School of the Assassins in Columbus, GA, and in Charlotte, NC, we ran into similar problems: police presence that seemed to be there to foster violence. At both places the neo-Nazi, pro-war fascist group "Gathering of Eagles" came out to mostly try...

Posted in Briefings by Kit Lange on July 14, 2007 A “very preliminary” report by law enforcement in Maryland has come across the wire saying that an anarchist group is looking to deface the Wall on September 15th during ANSWER’s rally in Washington, D.C. This will not be allowed to happen, period. We are acting on this intel and we’re certain that Eagles will be there in force to assure the safety and sanctity of our hallowed grounds. Be aware–September 15th will be quite a showdown. Please consider either being there yourself or helping someone else get there by donating...

EAGLES UP! Much has happened since that cold March day when we gathered, angry and determined at the Vietnam Memorial. We know that from the earliest days of this country there were citizens who believed that we had no reason to fight England. Over the following two centuries Americans marched in the streets to demand that America avoid war at all cost. During WW-I hundreds of thousands of citizens demonstrated against our involvement. During the 1930’s many carried signs demanding peace at any price. During the Korean and Vietnam wars, protesters came out like cockroaches out of the wood-work. History...

The Gathering of Eagles, FreeRepublic, MoveAmericaForward, RightMarch and ProtestWarrior must be prepared to counter this with the LARGEST patriotic rally ever seen in DC.

What Should the Anti-War Movement Do Now? A Proposal from the ANSWER Coalition http://answer.pephost.org/site/News2?abbr=ANS_&page=NewsArticle&id=8501 It is an absolute responsibility of the anti-war movement to make an honest and straightforward assessment of the current situation and to craft a strategy that can really make a difference. Every serious organization, and especially those with the greatest mobilizing reach, must be asked to avoid posturing, make an assessment and develop an action plan that will change the political landscape in a decisive way. This document does not seek to address or detail the political differences between organizations and groups. They exist and they...

Passion Was There For The 'Other Side' Bush's Visit Attracts Gathering Of Eagles For Show Of Support By Julie Wernau, Published on 5/24/2007 New London — It was 8 a.m. Wednesday, three hours before President Bush was scheduled to arrive at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Keith Soileau had been ready since 4:30. Soileau, a member of a newly formed national group called Gathering of Eagles, was one of the first to situate himself in front of a fence decorated with American flags at the academy entrance. Across the street, anti-war, anti-Bush demonstrators had taken over the hill. “You may...

After action report: New London and the Coast Guard Academy I left Bristol, Ct, with Larry Baily, Larry Hoffa, George Samet and Jim Sorry-I-forgot-your-name! Anyways, we got there late because I drive an old vehicle, and it needed water. After we got coffees, we headed out at high speed to the location where we found that the Army landed First, instead of this Marine! Chris Hill was there with the Good Doctor Raoul. Also, the American Legion Riders were there in force with about 30 riders. Additional riders showed up as the rally went on. Due to the security issues,...

Antiwar activists from around the country will celebrate Mothers Day by converging on Washington, DC, where they will demand Congress end the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Five days of activism, sponsored by the women-for-peace group CODEPINK and "peace mom" Cindy Sheehan's Gold Star Families for Peace, will culminate in what organizers call a "Mother of a March" on May 14. "We want to get people out and get them active," said Tina Richards of Salem, Missouri. "We're getting in the way [and saying] no more business as usual until you pass legislation that brings our troops home and takes care...

The Gathering of Eagles, a patriotic organization of Veteran's and supporters will be holding a rally to welcome the families of the graduating Coast Guard academy cadets on May 23, 2007. In addition to our support of these families and graduating cadets, we will be welcoming the President of the United States as he addresses the graduating class. Normally this would be a private event that we would welcome with silent respect. However, this event is already marred by the planned attendence of a radical left wing group known as A.N.S.W.E.R. We believe that this left wing group's presence is...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Gathering of Eagles, an honorable group of Veterans and concerned Patriotic Americans has requested a permit for a rally to be held at the Coast Guard Academy on May 23, 2007, during their graduation ceremony. This rally is being held to counter the left wing A.N.S.W.E.R. Rally being held on the same day. The Graduation of some of America's finest citizens from one of our most prestigious academies should not be marred by the vocal outrage of what is a minority in our country. The GATHERING OF EAGLES requests that all concerned parties make an effort...

KENT - Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan would like to see today's college students become more active against the war in Iraq. ``I wish college students cared enough about what's going on in Iraq and our country to be as committed as the students were in 1970,'' Sheehan said in an interview an hour before she was to address a crowd at Kent State University on the 37th anniversary of the Kent State shootings. Sheehan, 49, whose son Army Specialist Casey Sheehan was killed in Iraq in 2004, said she does not wish for any protest to become violent, but she...

With New Clout, Antiwar Groups Push Democrats By MICHAEL LUO WASHINGTON, May 4 — Every morning, representatives from a cluster of antiwar groups gather for a conference call with Democratic leadership staff members in the House and the Senate. Shortly after, in a cramped meeting room here, they convene for a call with organizers across the country. They hash out plans for rallies. They sketch out talking points for “rapid response” news conferences. They discuss polls they have conducted in several dozen crucial Congressional districts and states across the country. Over the last four months, the Iraq deliberations in Congress...

Pro-war veterans group and anti-war adversaries warily promise peaceful event Police say World Can't Wait will have exclusive right to plaza Jordan Green News editor In late January, protesters swarmed onto the steps of the US Capitol and spray-painted antiwar slogans during a rally to pressure President Bush and the Democratic Congress to wind down the war in Iraq. That was the tipping point for Charles Gant, a disabled Vietnam combat veteran from Greensboro who volunteers his time with others who have served in the US armed services. "The silent majority is tired of the extreme left-wing viewpoint," Gant said...

Violence is never positive. Violence breeds more violence. Often people get confused about the meaning and use of this word and think they can be violent in order to defend right and so on. But this is not so.

I am mirroring this from LittleGreenFootballs.com. Daniel Pipes sent it out on his list. I just can't be there, but if anybody is in the Los Angeles area, make it a point to be there. Remember, the video from US Irvine went global. Help support point-man Daniel Pipes in the ARENA OF THE WAR OF IDEAS! Leftists/Islamists Preparing to Disrupt Daniel Pipes at UCLA As we noted yesterday, there’s a panel discussion at UCLA tomorrow night featuring Daniel Pipes, Wafa Sultan, and Yaron Brook, on the subject: “Totalitarian Islam’s Threat to the West.” Today the moonbats and Islamic student groups...

Gathering of Eagles drew vets, 'patriots' to protect memorials To the Editor: The commentary "In Washington, a Stain on Sacred Ground" by Richard Kerns (April 4), is uninformed and extremely insulting to the thousands of veterans who came to Washington, D.C. on March 17 to help protect the war memorials on the National Mall and to stand up to the antiwar protesters who marched that day. At the previous peace march in Washington, on Jan. 27, peace protesters spray painted the Capitol, desecrated the Navy Memorial, broke windows at a recruiting center and assaulted an Iraq war amputee - all...
