Y’all might want to watch your local / national 10 and 11 pm news for tonight’s FReep in front of the White House.
(Mod – please allow this to stay in “Breaking News” for an hour or so.)
Kristinn just called as they were wrapping up. Here is his phoned-in report:
There were about 300 of “them” and 18 of “us.”
We started out in front of the Andrew Jackson statue facing H Street, but the Park Police sent us on our way because we did not have a permit.
We moved to in front of the White House on Pennsylvania Ave and set up the MOAB.
For a picture of this banner see:"4-Corner FReep of Code Pink's Quagmire at Walter Reed, Aug 12“They” left their location and followed us. “They” were “ticked off” by our presence and one of “them” asked, “How come you FReepers always have the big signs?”

Kristinn replied, “We’re good, man, we’re good.”-- snip --

I was able to catch the local ABC and CBS news reports in the DC area on these "vigils." The CBS covered the pro-Cindy Move-on types, and interviewed some pro-military veterans at the Marine Corps Iwo Jima memorial, but there was no images of the FReepers. ABC7, on the other hand, had some great video coverage of the FReep. Here are some captures I made:
The "MOAB" (Mother of All Banners) and some FReepers are looking great supporting our troops.
It's good to see some patriotic kids!
