Raleigh area Freepers, here’s your chance to do something for your country. Don’t be a FINO (Freeper In Name Only) come out to the rally and show our President and Military that you stand behind them.
These pacifists would like the world to think THEY are the majority. Let’s out number them and show them WE’RE MAD AS HE!! And We’re Not Gonna Take It Anymore!
WHERE:
Capital Bldg. Grounds Downtown Raleigh
WHEN:
February 15, Saturday from 12-2
We will begin assembling at 11:30 and stay till it's over.
I have applied for a permit to hold a Patriotic/Support Our Troops rally on the capital grounds in downtown Raleigh. The address is: 1 E. Edenton Street, Raleigh, NC 27699.
Map can be found at: here.
A map of areas to park is available here. If I remember right the parking lots are usually free on the weekends. There is also on street parking available, bring quarters to feed the meters for these.
If you don’t live in or near Raleigh there are other organized events for this day in our state. You can find more information about the other NC war protests here.
The peaceniks are saying they will have 10,000 protesters, not likely. Let's show them by having MORE than them.
I will be posting some possible sign ideas within the thread so keep checking back for updated info throughout next week. If anyone has a bullhorn, bring it please.
If you are involved in any local conservative groups or military organizations that would like to come and help us out, spread the word. You don't have to be a FReeper to join in, just a Patriot that loves the USA and wants to see our freedom protected from tyrannical terrorists. E-mail your family and friends and get them to come with you. Call and/or e-mail Jerry Agar so we can get some publicity for this event. Constitution Day and I can't do this alone WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Even if just a few of us show up at least we will know we did all WE could to help. Any suggestions are welcome, we are pretty new at this.

Future Snake Eater, would any of your friends from school be able to make it? TIA.

See we didn't know about this peace rally until Wed (2 days ago) and I applied for the permit and she just called and said since they already had a permit issued for the Anarchists that we couldn't have one. That was the Capital Police.
I've been trying for 2 days to get a hold of the Raleigh city PD at the permit # and get a permit from them but nobody answers the phone. I've tried the police non-emergency number and was on hold for 30 min.
I can't begin to tell you how frustrated I am. If anyone has any suggestions I'm open to them. Connections in the PD would be nice.
We'd like to have it at the Fayetteville St. Mall across the street from the Capital Bldg.
