Saundra, you wrote: "These creeps are at 16th & J every Tuesday from like 4 to 6. What say we freep them next week?"
God knows we've tried Saundra. Sadly, many of our area conservatives, were for the most part, a no-show! Our little band of folks even showed up to support Freeper notaliberal at Arden Mall's Anti-Everything Crowd protest in the same week. Unfortunately, we seem to suffer from the "Apathy Syndrome" here in Sacramento. I ran into Notaliberal during the voter registration on 911. She left FR for many of the same reasons I've been posting less these days. You know that's true of even the GOP "paid staffers" here in CA. Freepers need to get back to basics. We seem to spend more time attacking our own than the enemy! The most recent item sent me by farmfriend illustrates that even more. See: Free Republic mentioned in "Chronicles" magazine article.

What troubles me most is the nearly 350 posts attacking the messenger rather than the message. Further, if all that energy was focused on the media and politicians rather than one of our own, maybe we wouldn't have lost California again this year.
That Said... We'll do it again if somebody cares!

The Veteran's Memorial Auditorium: There is a dedication to those killed in war, inscribed in marble at the front of the Memorial Auditorium. It reads: "This building is dedicated to those who made the supreme sacrifice in the service of the United States."
This historic and living tribute to our soldiers opened in 1927 on a block donated by Sacramento city founder John Sutter and dedicated to Sacramentans who died in war. An honor roll listing Sacramentans killed in battle from the Spanish American War through Persian Gulf War is housed in a room adjacent to the main lobby. We pray no new names of fellow Sacramentans who will be engaged in Operation Enduring Freedom will be added to this honor roll of veterans in Sacramento.
Many veteran and their supporters suggest anti-war protests on these hallowed ground desecrate and insult the men and women of our armed forces this grand building represents. Thankfully, this small band of protesters represent only a small percentage of the U.S. population but provide media capital to our enemies abroad.
To them we say: "Know this... we will be a constant reminder of America's majority voice at every opportunity!"
