Almost forgot - would like to do a live thread again as they seem to be quite popular. Anyone who cannot attend but is willing to take calls from the rally and post updates on a Patriots Rally for America II Live Thread please let me know.

Bumping to self. I heard part of this quoted on Ollie North's "War Stories" (bolded) by one of the pilots who was shot down during the Gulf War. I want to work part of this into a sign for the rally. I'll take suggestions.

"For these reasons I cannot join with those who cry Peace, peace. I cannot wish that this war should not have been engaged in by the North, or that being engaged in, it should be terminated on any conditions but such as would retain the whole of the Territories as free soil. I am not blind to the possibility that it may require a long war to lower the arrogance and tame the aggressive ambition of the slave-owners, to the point of either returning to the Union, or consenting to remain out of it with their present limits. But war, in a good cause, is not the greatest evil which a nation can suffer. War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice--is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature, who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other."
--John Stuart Mill, The Contest in America, 1862

What can I say about those porta-potties. A few years ago, back on the farm, we had an outhouse. When the weather got cold we were always sure to check that there wasn't a badger in the pit. Badger claws on a nekid behind is not a pretty sight.

Do you suppose a badger could be trained to differentiate between a peacenik and a good guy's behind? Didn't think so. I guess the guards are the best option at this time.

As leader of the Chicagoland Chapter, I wish to express my thanks for the great job you are all doing in our nations capital. Even though I cannot be there personally, I've found a way for our chapter to rally on your behalf.

On Friday, Oct. 25, the Chicago area anarchists will send off their 'busloads' to D.C., we will be there to wish them a 'happy' trip.

I suggest other FR Chapters make plans to do the same in their cities. I found the information at the Chicago.indymedia.org website, we can assume there are others....

Thank you.

The send off is a terrific idea.
