UPDATE: PATRIOTS RALLY FOR AMERICA II, OCTOBER 26 IN WASHINGTON, D.C. (C-SPAN?)

D.C. Chapter ^ | Tuesday, October 22, 2002 | Kristinn

[kristinn]

A one line mention in Monday's Washington Post has led to an inquiry from C-SPAN about their covering this Saturday's Patriots Rally for America at the Washington Monument, at the corner of 17th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.

They plan on covering the so-called anti-war rally being held the same day in D.C. and wish to cover our rally as balance.

Also, C-SPAN will be having a roundtable discussion on the Iraq situation and asked us to suggest some college student leaders to participate in a Washington Journal segment for Saturday.

I'll be calling C-SPAN Thursday with our schedule for the rally and I suppose they'll decide then whether they'll cover it. They definitely seem interested, though.

Our speaker line-up is taking shape, we should be ready to announce at least a partial one tomorrow night. Just like last April's Patriots Rally, it's coming together the week of the event.

As for financing, we're about halfway to meeting the budget of $4,000 for the stage, sound, porta-pottys and incidentals. Members of the D.C. Chapter are financing the Patriots Rally, but we could use some help.

If you would like to help, please click this link.

If you would like to publicize the Patriots Rally, you can download this flyer created by rabidralph which features Registered's rally logo and distribute copies in your area.

The D.C. Chapter was planning for the Patriots Rally to be a local pro-America, support our troops and anti-Saddam Hussein gathering to counter the national so-called anti-war rally being held by the usual collection of America-hating communists, leftists and anarchists.

We've made contacts with local College Republican groups at some of the local campuses and they are helping to get the word out.

We're not going to come anywhere near the numbers of the leftists, but we'll have a decent crowd. We'd love to have you come out and stand up for America with us.

Please bring American and Gadsden flags, signs supporting America and our troops and as many friends and family members as you can.

The weather forecast is for mostly sunny skies with temperatures in the 50s to low 60s.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for demonstrating will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no racism, no profanity, no threats, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

When: Saturday, October 26, 2002 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., rain or shine.

Where: The Washington Monument at the corner of 17th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW.

"I hope I can be there"

I hear ya man. Face it, your parents are scared to take you anywhere considering everything now.

Your dad knows me a little from our meeting in front of the WH. I think I have credability coaching 4 soccer teams and being around here for so long.

So, if you are located North of DC, let me know via Freep Mail and possibly I could pick you up and return you, all safe and sound.

We need the youth of America, like you. Let me know. Bill in Hershey

[StarFan]

Be careful, please. BUMP!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

gnip!

"Our speaker line-up is taking shape, we should be ready to announce at least a partial one tomorrow night"

If you could let me know the lineup ASAP it would be appreciated. I am scheduled to be on the local radio here.

"Which DC FReeper was it who just called Sean Hannity...Angelwood? She was great! Sean explained it was FReepers who protested " Get out of Cheney's house!" during the 2000 elections! He then let her give the details of Saturday's rally."

"It was tgslTakoma - and from all accounts she did an outstanding job."

WOOOOO-HOOOOOOOO!! Way to go, Ms. Takoma!! Can't wait until Saturday...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"parents won't let me go"

Ask yer parents to join you...DeeCee's beautiful this time of year and we'll be within a short walk from the Smithsonian and any number of wonderful sight-seeing opportunities. And now that it looks like the LeftWingWhackoSniper is in custody, safety shouldn't be a concern.

FReegards...MUD

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Come on! You and some buds catch public transportation and come on down.

[grammymoon]

OK! We have our flags, we have our signs, we have our tickets and room reservations and we are ready to roll!

Can't wait to see all you patriots & freepers in action.

My daughter (24yrs) is so excited, she is getting her face painted with red, white & blue, attaching her signs to sticks to hold up and just generally getting totally into it, as am I.

See you all Saturday!

After the Gulf War, I took her and the rest of the tribe to the parade in NYC. We had prime viewing due to the fact that I worked there for many years and my former workmates held a spot for us. My daughter was photographed holding a gigantic American Flag and the picture was on the front page of the NY Times the next day!

They lost their voices from all the screaming and cheering they did. I think it was one of the few times they were quiet on the way home. I expect this patriot's rally to have the same effect on her.

[LisaFab]

Thanks Mud.

Way to go Takoma!!

"My daughter (24yrs) is so excited, she is getting her face painted with red, white & blue"

Good job. Can't wait to see this. Who knows, she just might get her picture here on FR. Ahh, I think we're going to be able to tell who you are. LOL.

[Mudboy Slim]

No, thank YOU...great catch!! Are you gonna be in DeeCee on Saturday, my FRiend?!

FReegards...MUD

[FreeTheHostages]

So happy they caught the snipers. This will make the weather for our rally sunny in my head for sure. I'm thinking of bring some chicken pot pie to the rally site for y'all to have for lunch. Gore, hope to see you there, and for the record, I always have and always will love the FBI! But I give you permission to keep working me over on the point. Seriously, anybody want me to bring some luncheon food for our main rally staff? I could do that . . . .

[LisaFab]

I want to be there so bad, but will be in Quincy, MA for a three-day symposium on John Adams. My last FReep was facing down these idiots in NYC last year.

Give em one for me and have a blast Mud, and all who are lucky enough to be in DC show support for our troops and CIC.

[stand watie]

i THINK it was tgslTakoma!

she DID sound great!

free dixie,sw

[Mudboy Slim]

"Give em one for me and have a blast..."

Will do, my FRiend...I can't help but have a good time when I get the opportunity to hang with the DeeCee FReepers!!

FReegards...MUD

[Fred Mertz]

What Metro stop should I get off at? Last time I got off at one that was advised to me, only to caught up in the police barriers for the leftists. I'll try to be there earlier than 11 this time too.
