Free Republic

<p>NEW YORK — Freedom of speech is a right many Americans have been exercising lately in speaking out against war. But despite what’s been making headlines in the papers and getting coverage on TV, not all the demonstrations are against military action in Iraq.</p>

WASHINGTON (GOPUSA News) -- A few hundred people braved the damp cold in Washington on Saturday to wave American flags and cheer speakers on the National Mall. The "Patriot's Rally for America" was organized by the D.C. Chapter of The Free Republic, a conservative activist group.

Graves was among about 50 Mainers who gathered here to show support for President Bush, and for the men and women who will risk their lives in the event of a war with Iraq."There have been so many demonstrations by people who seem not to understand the issues," Graves said.

The media has been intentionally ignoring Pro-U.S. protests, rallies, and events. Please cut-and-paste this open letter to the media and email it to the media at the addresses below. ____________________________________________________________ An Open Letter To The Media I am writing to express my dismay at your refusal to give visible news coverage to anti-anti-war, or pro-U.S., protests and rallies. It is both intellectually dishonest and further evidence of media bias against certain groups and sentiments. Fox News has been continually derided as biased or pro-conservative. However, Fox News is, in reality, simply the only media outlet that gives fair coverage to...

Anti-War Protestors put on an ugly face Saturday Afternoon - being pretty much confined to a single corner at the intersection of Brea and Imperial Hwy. Apparently, they don't like sharing the intersection with people who don't agree with them.

A massive, pro-American, anti-Kim Jong il rally was held yesterday (Saturday, 1 March 2003) in Downtown Seoul, Korea. Pro-American signs and American flags were everywhere to be seen.

He is very well liked in our community so amongst the honkers were allot of "hey Chris" yells and waving. A young boy kept going from corner to corner frantic on his bike. He finally came up...

The start was pushed back several times while patriotic music was played by a live band. There were hundreds of flags and many signs...
