Patriots Rally For America

The DC Chapter of Free Republic and Rally For America are pleased to announce The Patriots Rally for America to be held in Washington, D.C. on April 20, 2002 at the Washington Monument.

The rally will be held on the northwest quadrant of the Washington Monument grounds near the intersection of 17th Street, N.W. and Constitution Avenue, N.W.

FReepers, lurkers and patriots from across the country plan on attending, are putting out the word via e-mail and posts to Internet forums and offering more moral and financial support (we still need more of the later to cover expenses) than any one cause should deserve.  For this, we are most appreciative. 

We are now down to the wire - full speed ahead and need you guys to help us make the final push to ensure this is the definitive rally of 2002.  As many of you are well aware, the anti-American crowd will be out there that day and we are asking you to help us send a simple, but very important,  message across America - this is our country and no one pushes us around on our home court. 

Confirmed speakers (in alphabetical order) include:

• John C. Armor, Esq. - Cyber-Congressman Billybob
• The Honorable Robert K. Dornan - U.S. Congressman 1977-1997
• Joseph Farah - WorldNetDaily
• Maria Heil - Second Amendment Sisters
• Niger Innis -  Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)
• Larry Klayman - Judicial Watch
• Kevin Martin - Veterans for Constitional Restoration and Project 21
• Jim Parmelee - NorthernVirginiaGOP.com
• Paul Rodriguez - Insight Magazine

Patriotic and topical music will set the tone of this most extraordinary rally - please plan on attending.  Music starts at 10:00 a.m. and the formal rally at 11:00 - expected end time is around 3:00 p.m.  The rally will be held rain or shine.

What to bring:

U.S. Flags - the more the better - Gadsden Flags - ditto -  Signs, signs and more signs with large lettering supporting what we hold dear.

This will be a great opportunity to peacefully counter the anti-war rally and march being held the same day in other areas of D.C. by the usual collection of America-hating communist/leftist/anarchist groups.

The Patriots Rally for America will provide an opportunity for all those who love our country to stand up publicly for America and to support our troops as they fight the war on terrorism.

Dave, I just heard a caller mention the rally and FreeRepublic on Sean Hannity's show. I didn't catch her name, but it's great that the call got through. Good luck tomorrow!

[rwfromkansas]

We printed his explanation of the Pledge in the school newspaper (well, we modified it some to make it more interesting-looking and eye-catching as an infographic), but I also have it on my website in full. I think it is a really neat explanation.

[rwfromkansas]

Make sure to bump me to every thread on this tomorrow while I am having fun at prom. I want to see the reports about how the rally went! I hope the turnout just stuns the left.

Sorry to "rain" on your "parade" people (pun intended) ;-) , but the forecast for tomorrow looks grim. Here it is:

ZONE FORECASTS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON
330 PM EDT FRI APR 19 2002

DCZ001-VAZ054-200730-
ARLINGTON-DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA-
INCLUDING THE CITIES OF...ALEXANDRIA...ARLINGTON...FALLS CHURCH... WASHINGTON
330 PM EDT FRI APR 19 2002

SATURDAY
SHOWERS LIKELY WITH A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. HIGHS IN THE MID 70S. LIGHT WEST WIND INCREASING LATE IN THE MORNING TO 10 TO 15 MPH. CHANCE OF RAIN 70 PERCENT.

I wish I could make it down, but with no transportation and the chance of thunderstorms (I've had near-misses with lightning), I think I'm not going to make it. Good luck to all you brave souls who make it tomorrow and rough it out!

[Mustang]

Dave, I'm glad you received my fax of Red Skelton's Pledge of Allegiance.

Please have a fellow FReeper Vet read it at the kick-off of the rally.

I'm going to freep-mail you my cell and home number (as a back up...only have one hard land line...can't be on line and rcv calls.. but do have caller ID)...so pass my numbers around to fellow FReepers in order that I can post real time, real deal info.

Best FReegards...Mustang sends.

[VaMarVet]

Hey Sailor - hope everything is going well - thanks so much for doing this - you are the tops.

Fair Winds and Following Seas to you my friend...

[VaMarVet]

Valley Forge...

We aren't parading...

And we aren't college students looking for transportation...

Toughing it out is much more than your dire predictions on what we might face out there my friend.

See you next time when we have a 100% prediction of a "fair weather" event...

[Pyro7480]

I did have parade in quotations, and I don't appreciate your implication that I'm a "fair weather friend." (no pun this time) Perhaps spending money on my education is more important than getting a car.

[VaMarVet]

Fine - you can follow the events on Mustang's thread.

[VaMarVet]

Goodnight - 0400 comes early - see you all tomorrow...

[Pyro7480]

In retrospective, I see why you may have a slight beef with me, since I posted the forecast. I apologize if this may discourage others from going. But it's not like most people aren't going to be looking at the forecast anyway.

[Arleigh]

Bump!

[mdittmar]

Will be scanning the boob tube manana,a little Spanish lingo,for updates.

You guys done good.

Enjoy the fruits of your labors.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

You just don't understand, it never rains on the DC Chapter!

[harpo11]

We Will Never Forget
Support US TROOPS
Their Courage Keeps Our Flag Flying Proud and High
They Risk Their Lives So That We Remain Free

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Have fun. Remember to boo the speaker if he/she expresses support of the amateur proctologist airport brigade or the Patriot-in-name-only Act. Of course, cheer like crazy when he/she expresses support of our troops.

[VaMarVet]

We owe you a lot of thanks - you helped make this happen and it is most appreciated. EAGLES UP for today's Patriots Rally for America - regardless what the weather might hold the sun shall be shining on FR and all our nation's patriots today.

[VaMarVet]

Gonna miss your wit and wisdom today! See you next time.

[VaMarVet]

Thanks for the support and the great pix - truck is packed with all types of logistics and we are ready to roll. H-Hour is just around the corner.

[VaMarVet]

Amen brother - see you in a couple of hours - don't get lost;-)
