My wife and I would like to help coordinate the COUNTER Cidy Sheehan Rally in Tallahassee, Florida
This thread is for any FReepers out there that can participate.
You can also call me (850) 933-8511
It is likely that the Sheehadis will change or eliminate their planned visits to New Orleans. If I were them, I would consider adding other stops in the South. Considering the huge population of your battleground state, adding more Florida stops would make sense. STAY ALERT and report any intel to me by freepmail.
Thank you for your help, and give 'em hell.

for those of us who have stops in our areas,we need to know where they are going ot be stopping-here is an idea- call your police departments and fine out if moveon.org or other left groups have gotten permits to protest and assemble those dates. It is a long shot, I know.
Joe....................please ping FL FReepers here!
I am really sick of her. Today she is commenting on blaming Bush and his enviornmentqal policies for Katrina.
does anyone else from Palm Beach county want to go and carpool?
Here's the message I just sent out to all the FReepers and lurkers that have given their personal email addresses to me:

I love it! bttt! You have freep mail!
Claire.......suggest you freepmail Jacvin who is South FL Leader.
One idea is for someone like 'kristinn' to contact the American Legion folks to talk about a Free Republic / American Legion counter protest at each site of the bus tour. The American Legion just wrapped up it's annual convention in Hawaii and one of their press releases condemned the anti-war protests.
For your Florida counter protest:
American Legion: DEPARTMENT OF FLORIDA
LAWRENCE J WHITE, COMMANDER
JOHN D NEWSTREET, ADJUTANT
PO BOX 547859
ORLANDO, FL 32854-7859
PHONE: 407-295-2631
FAX: 407-299-0901
EMAIL: fl_mail@fllegion.newsouth.net
WEB: http://www.floridalegion.org
Read this press release from August 23rd, 2005: (Getting the 2.7 million members of the American Legion involved with the counter protests along with local Freepers will overwhelm any 'Cindy' moonbat turnout)

Legionnaires Condemn War Protests, Pledge Support for President, Troops
HONOLULU, August 23, 2005 - Delegates to the nations largest wartime veterans organization meeting here in national convention today vowed to use whatever means necessary to ensure the united support of the American people for our troops and the global war on terrorism.
Warriors, above all other people, pray for peace, for they must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war, said Thomas P. Cadmus, national commander of The American Legion referring to Gen. Douglas MacArthurs quote. We had hoped that the lessons learned from the Vietnam War would be clear to our fellow citizens: public protests against the war here at home while our young men and women are in harms way on the other side of the globe only provide aid and comfort to our enemies. We understand that the terrorists they are engaging there would slit the throats of every American, adult and child, if they could.
The resolution passed unanimously by 4,000 delegates to the annual event states: The American Legion fully supports the President of the United States, the United States Congress and the men, women, and leadership of our armed forces as they are engaged in the global war on terrorism.
For many of us, the visions of Jane Fonda glibly spouting anti-American messages with the North Vietnamese and protestors denouncing our own forces four decades ago is forever etched in our memories, Cadmus said. We must never let that happen again. I assure you, The American Legion will stand against anyone and any group that would demoralize our troops, or worse, endanger their lives by encouraging terrorists to continue their cowardly attacks against freedom loving peoples.
The measure recognizes that the global war on terrorism is as deadly as any war in which the United States has been previously engaged and that the President and Congress did authorize military actions in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
No one respects the right to protest more than one who has fought for it, but we hope that Americans will present their views in correspondence to their elected officials rather than by public media events guaranteed to be picked up and used as tools of encouragement by our enemies, Cadmus said. It would be tragic if the freedoms our veterans fought so valiantly to protect would be used against their successors today as they battle terrorists bent on our destruction.
Lets not repeat the mistakes of our past, he added. I urge all Americans to rally around our armed forces and remember our fellow Americans who were viciously murdered on Sept. 11, 2001. We must commit ourselves to stand united together to defeat terrorism once and forever.
The 2.7 million-member American Legion is the nations largest veterans organization.
Awesome!!!!

After much discussion about this even my wife has decided NOT to attend this rally.
I will inform the Capital Police that our planned "Counter-Rally" is officially canceled.
We have decided to "sit this one out" and hopefully our silence will speak louder than words.
If you still plan to attend in "OPOSITION" of the group(s) that are permited to Rally on the Capital Property please notify the appropriate officials.
ONCE AGAIN THIS COUNTER-SHEEHAN EVENT is CANCELED.
BTTT!!!!!!!
