Conservatives 'fed up' with protesters By Patrick O'Driscoll, USA TODAY
Dozens of flag-waving rallies for American troops in Iraq look like spontaneous, grass-roots gatherings. But many are orchestrated by conservative political groups, just as anti-war protests are led by peace groups and activists on the political left.

Rallies for the troops took place this weekend in cities and towns including New York, San Francisco, Miami, Cleveland, Honolulu, Jacksonville, Concord, N.H., Harrisburg, Pa., and Kingsport, Tenn. More rallies are expected.
Free Republic Network, an Internet group that promotes "front-line conservative activism," organized "Liberty Weekend" March 22-23. National director Bob Johnson says an estimated 150,000 people attended more than 100 "Rally for America" gatherings.
Co-sponsors of the rallies include nine other conservative groups, including the American Conservative Union, Young Americans for Freedom and the Liberty Belles, a gun rights organization for women.
In addition, Free Republic co-hosts "Activism 101" seminars for newcomers with the Leadership Institute, a Virginia-based group that trains future leaders for the conservative political movement. Among the seminar topics: "Planning and Executing an Effective Rally."
