Rep. Cynthia McKinney said,I thought this was apropos to post on the thread about our Commie McKinney FReep."Today's revelations that the administration, and President Bush, were given months of notice that a terrorist attack was a distinct possibility points out the critical need for a full and complete congressional investigation." (Atlanta Journal & Constitution, "Revelations give boost to McKinney; But Miller, Norwood unapologetic" 5/17/02)
Ms. McKinney has voted: · AGAINST last week's Defense Authorization bill which provided increased military funding and a pay increase for military personnel. · THIRTEEN times AGAINST increased defense funds. · FOUR times to CUT military funding. · FIVE times to CUT intelligence funding. · TWICE AGAINST increased funds for modernizing military hardware. · REPEATEDLY voted AGAINST pay increases, funding for health care and housing for military personnel.
Americans know that President Bush when faced with credible information about a threat would act swiftly and strongly. It is terribly unfair to the victims and victim families of the terrible tragedy of September 11 for anyone to suggest anything to the contrary. Such statements are irresponsible and politically motivated.
Thank you!
Thank you.
I posted a small summary to the "Canteen" and "America the Right Way!" threads:
.45Man and I are back from our very first FReep. Just thought I would share some of our experiences.
We were involved in a FReep of Cynthia McKinney in Decatur, GA, organized by FreedomPoster and "BeNotAfraid!" McKinney is the one who charged the Bush Administration with knowing about the 9-11 attack beforehand and keeping it quiet in order to profit from it. Meanwhile, 21% of McKinney's financing is from Arab/Islam sources, She also disgraced the United States by offering to take the 10 million that Rudy Giuliani refused from a Saudi prince after 9-11.
McKinney has been gloating in the local media about being "vindicated" by the latest DemonRat attack on President Bush. She scheduled an appearance with the local VFW, ostensibly to show her "support" of the armed forces she has in the past shown open contempt for. It is not hard to figure out she was stumping for votes.
We had what we feel was a successful FReep. In attendance were: FreedomPoster; "BeNotAfraid!'" WhiskeyPapa; RobFromGa; AFVetGal, Atlantian; ApplePanDowdy, two extremely cute "mini-FReepers," (RobFromGA's adorable daughters), .45MAN and myself. McKinney avoided us by sneaking into an entrance we were not aware of. Her father, however, confronted us, reducing what might have been useful dialogue into a blatant playing of the "race card."
At one point, unfortunately, we were accused by the other side of being "Racist Nazis." That hurt a lot, but not being able to defend against facts, the McKinney supporters were reduced to typical name-calling and inflammatory remarks.
FreedomPoster acted as our spokesperson, being interviewed by both FOX5News of Atlanta and Channel 11. He was eloquent, poised and direct in his responses. A wonderful testimony to Free Republic.
.45MAN and I made some great friends today. Now that we've gotten our "feet wet," we can hardly wait for the next FReep here in Atlanta. Thank-you for your prayers and best wishes. Happy Armed Forces Day. We defended the honor of our Armed Forces against the opposition today.
God Bless all of those who defend our freedom, past, present and future.

Thanks to all for prayers and support.
God Bless you and your family.

Permits: Up here if you counter protest a group that has a permit provided you don't use sound, no permit needed. the idea is that if you protest you can be expected to have counter protesters. If you protest, with signs and with out a permit as long as you keep moving you are a pedestrian, RaceBannon can fill you in on this.
If you are going to protest a POLITICAL thing, get a permit, get a permit with sound, designate the areas where your people will be, and inflate your numbers. Designate a person, with a copy of the permit to cover the areas you intend to protest. Megaphones are $77 bucks at "Radio Shack".
