We shall continue FReeping the Code Pinkos every Friday night until they stop their obscene blood dance outside the hospital of our war-wounded. If you agree with me that it is outrageous for Code Pinkos to protest a war at a hospital with war-wounded troops inside, please come out and join us in a peaceful counter-protest.
One of the amputees told me months ago that he doesn't want other wounded troops coming into Walter Reed and seeing only the Code Pinkos at the gates. He explained that the FReeper presence there was extremely important to counter the Pinkos. Please join us and be a part of our peaceful counter-protest to Code Pink.
Keeping the Pinkos away from the desirable locations at the gate of Walter Reed requires us to have enough people to occupy each of four corners.
Please don't let the troops think that regular Americans are too busy with TV, ballgames, movies and other recreation to peacefully counter America-hating leftists.
Being there with us in spirit is great, but we need people to hold the MOAB (Mother of all banners), other signs, and flags. Maybe you can't come every week, but please make it your patriotic duty to join us at least once in the near future.
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.
Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 7200 Georgia Ave., at Elder St., NW
We've been setting up on all four corners at Walter Reed's entrance gate per our permits, whereas the Pinkos are barely visible about a block away (and out of any good location).
On street parking is usually easy to find. Location is about 6 or 7 blocks from Takoma metro station and is walkable, but it is best if you get a ride. If you want a ride, FReepmail me, preferably with your cell phone number as far in advance as possible. If you wait until Friday afternoon, I may be away from the computer.
FReepmail me to get on or off the list.
Injured Walter Reed patients, including amputees, have repeatedly told us how important it is for us to be there to counter Code Pink.
If we can sufficiently outnumber the leftists often enough, embarrassment may cause some leftists to stop these outrageous morale-damaging ("Maimed for a lie" was one of their signs) demonstrations at the hospital. At the very least, we can peacefully and lawfully minimize the effect of their psych-ops against the troops.
Our troops are bold enough to face bullets, mortars, IEDs, and suicide bombers. Are you bold enough to get out from behind the keyboard, FReep in person, and stand up for the wounded troops at Walter Reed?
If you're in the DC area and don't have family, work or medical considerations that keep you from FReeping, can you spare a few hours on a Friday night? Will you?
Taxman Bravo Zulu! for an outstanding FReep and after-action report, Bill. Mrs. Taxman and I plan to join you on May 26th.
I like the new MOAB better than the old one, much better construction.
I'm the keeper of the official, massive DC Chapter ping list, which list has only limited distribution.
Please send me a FReepmail with your list. I'm guessing that all or almost all of them are on the official list.
Great work as always, Bill!
Kristinn and I met a very nice young lady who just had to stop. She had been driving by for several weeks and she finally forced herself to pull over. Her parents "escaped" Chile when the hero of the left and Fidel Castro's good friend Salvador Allende. Marta, I may have her name wrong, promised to join us this Friday.
Philip from India was riding by on a Metro bus and had to get off and join us as well.
I find it enlightening that these two people to the time out to stop and express their support and participate. Hope to see you all this Friday. Oh yeah Mother AZZHat is in town so there's lots of opportunity to get some fresh air.
And I'm Miss America 2006!
Thanks for the great report as usual, Bill. And thanks to all the stalwart WRAMC FREEPERS!
BTTT
You guys rock. I can't wait to get out there again and help you out in supporting our brave troops. I'm sure that the Pinkos miss me too and I don't want to disappoint.
Great job BillF!
I hope the beautiful weather will bring out some extra folks tonight. See ya'll next week.
"For those of you in the DC area, we need some additional FReepers to join us for FReeping Code Pink every Friday night, until further notice, starting at 6:30 pm and until about 9:30 pm. How about coming out this Friday? You can join us in progress if you can't make the beginning of the event.
Can you sacrifice an evening to honor the much greater sacrifice that the troops are making for our freedom?"
"Please bump this thread to keep this on top of the latest posts."
PING!
Bump!
I admit a bit of envy that Carol got an Airborne hat.
I can't be there tonight. I have church stuff going on. Lord willing, I will be there next week.
BTTT
Bump!
I was recon, and flew in helicopters, to be dropped behind enemy lines and hump a 70lb pack 20+ miles on foot.
Back in the day, I could do enumerable push ups. Now, the only exercise I get is the 20 sit ups I do each morning, trying to convince myself I gotta get outta bed, only to lie back down.
Know the feeling, stood there boldly sweating in the sun. We were soldiers once, and young.
But we can still cover our military's six.
