For the 28th week in a row, members of the DC Chapter of Free Republic will stand across the street from the gates of Walter Reed Army Medical Center, in Northwest Washington, DC - to show our heartfelt support for our wounded soldiers and their families, to say "Thank you" to them and the medical presonnel who are helping these brave men and women to heal their bodies, minds and spirits, and to say "How Dare You!" to the America-hating members of Code Pink, Veterans for Peace and other heartless leftists as they protest our mission in Iraq, the president, this administration, and even the soldiers who volunteered to defend this great country.
But this week will be a little bit different.
Code Pink has dragged Cindy Sheehan out of mothballs this week to assist in their obscene blood dance, as they celebrate the 2000th death of an American soldier in Iraq. Cindy Sheehan has been in DC this week posing for the adoring MSM cameras, and the news of her "grieving mother" protest has led many news reports, ahead of the very encouraging news from Iraq that the Iraqis had voted to ratify their draft Constitution.
To top off Code Pink's celebratory week, Gael Murphy, Allison Yorra, Medea Benjamin and other enemies of this country have decided to use Cindy Sheehan as a headliner at WRAMC, in a disgusting attempt to prop up their obscene psychological war against our wounded soldiers and their families.
Cindy Sheehan will be at Walter Reed tomorrow. Code Pink plans to "deliver get well cards to the wounded soldiers," at 7pm. And of course, the media will be there, to "capture the emotional moment" when the "grieving mother" tries to enter a secure base.
This is a call to every able-bodied man, woman and child who loves this country and our soldiers:
If you are anywhere within a reasonable driving distance to our nation's capital, please join us. Our soldiers need us to stand up for them. They need to know that Cindy Sheehan, Code Pink and all the rest of the loudmouthed left DO NOT SPEAK FOR US!
We gather on the northeast and southeast corners at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, NW. Bring signs, flags, banners and your friends and neighbors.
Start at 6:30 pm and go to about 10:00 pm.
As always, the DC Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect.
Briefly, they are: No violence. No profanity. No racism. No provocations. Obey the law. Treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
PING !!
I've been reading your Walter Reed counter protest threads, and I've got to say that this is surprising, seeing how low turnout for the Lefty protesters has generally been. Sheehan is usually surrounded by a circus of liberal moonbats. I hope the FReepers really show up in full force this time.
See you there!
200 people to support Sheehan, in a city of almost 600,000 liberals. That's a pretty poor showing for them.
Seriously. The MSM has it made out to be that she "really got the anti-war movement in gear."
She's still surrounded by liberal moonbats, though, if not throngs of them.
Do the families every come out and join yall?
Boy if I was in driving distance I would be there. I enjoy reading the Walter Reed threads and am so proud of you FReepers who show up there to support our veterans. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK - you have a lot of supporters out here.
Cindy MeMeMeMe-where are the cameras-han is a terrible example of a mother. The lefties hold her up because they think they can use her as a weapon to tear down the troops' morale and the determination of President Bush.
They're wrong about both. Thank you, Nobody, for all that you do to support the troops and their mission.
CS is making me sick. How dare she.
I guess Cindy isn't planning to "die" on the sidewalk in front of the White House and get arrested again!
Bump in support of our troops -- heroes one and all!
FReep On!
You are so kind and sweet. This is the understatement of the year!
Good luck to all of you, and thanks for being there.
They chickened out at the last possible second tonight. It was such a let-down but not a surprise that they don't live up to their word. Or, in this case, they don't die up to their word.
Congressman Rangal visited with the Cindyites tonight. Barf.
Thanks for the ping, Just! Much success in this endeavor to let our wounded warriors know that most Americans love and support what they're doing!
Tony--you need to be all over this one so that our soldiers know that there are those in the media who are on their side and not supporting the moonbats!
You guys are
AWESOME!!
KILL it damit! No need to feed this stupid retard.
You forgot the *barf* alert.
