SUPPORT OUR TROOPS - Patriots Rally for America IV - Saturday, March 1, 2003, Washington, D.C.

DC Chapter of Free Republic ^ | February 18, 2003 | Angelwood and Kristinn

[Angelwood]

This is important. Drop what you’re doing. Pack the car, get on a plane, a train, a bus or start walking. Our troops need your support right now! They’re laying it on the line for us overseas and all they are seeing in the media is hundreds of thousands of anti-war/anti-American demonstrators marching in our streets.

As evidenced by this article Anti-war Protests Anger U.S. Troops Inside Kuwait those demonstrations are starting to affect morale. You can do something about that, but it will take time, effort and sacrifice -- a modest sacrifice compared to our men and women in uniform waiting for the the word to take out Saddam and his tyrannical terrorist regime.

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic urges all FReepers and lurkers in good standing, as well as their friends and families, veterans and their friends and families and all others who want to stand up for America and support our troops to join us in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, March 1, 2003 for the Patriots Rally for America IV from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m at the outdoor Sylvan Theater on the grounds of the Washington Monument.

As the United States prepares to take the next step in the war on terrorism with probable action in Iraq, it is imperative that we get out and show support for our troops, our Commander-in-Chief and all that’s good about America.

Our troops are there to give their lives if necessary in order to prevent another 9-11 from happening to us. Now more than ever, they need to see your support back home. Please don’t let them down.

We are asking you to bring large American and Gadsden flags. Also, signs bearing messages supporting America, our troops, our Commander-in-Chief and the war on terrorism.

That same day, anti-American leftists will be holding an "anti-war" rally and march in D.C. The "anti-war" rally, organized by IAC-A.N.S.W.E.R. , a front group for the communist World Workers Party, will be held on the Mall near the Capitol Building between 3rd Street and 7th Street, N.W. The organizers have permitted other sites as staging areas for many in their group to assemble and then march to the main event. Some of these staging areas include: Constitution Gardens by the Vietnam War Memorial, the Northeast quadrant of the Washington Monument, and Freedom Plaza at 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.

Another group has plans to assemble in the DuPont Circle area and march to Constitution Avenue, N.W. between 17th and 23rd Streets.

We do not expect any trouble from those groups. Law enforcement officers will be everywhere to keep the peace and ensure that everyone’s rights are respected.

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, March 1, 2003 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., rain or shine.

Where: The Sylvan Theater, located on the south side of the Washington Monument grounds at Independence Avenue and 15th Street, S.W.

When we meet on 2/22 at Mr. Trulock's booksigning, perhaps I can get a flyer to copy if they're made up? I have this idea about going and handing them out outside the Marine Barracks. Sure, active duty guys can't come, but they probably know people (friends, relatives) that could, and they'll at least know about our rally that way. OK idea?

FRee dixie BUMP!

[yonif]

Are the same rules regarding poles etc. on your flags apply?

Good Morning Everybody!

Good Morning DC CHapter!

Kristinn and Angelwood, I definately plan to attend this rally on March 1st I'll either get a ride to it or take a cab if I can affordt it. I can't donate right now but I'm going to save up enough money between now oand March 1st to give at the rally.

I'm so frustrated that I've said I would go to other ralies held in the past but had found for one reason or another, uaually by no fault of mine. That I'm determined to come to DC to this rally. I want to come out and support our troops and the President.

But my lack of transportation coupled with thw weather and my medical problems, along with other obligations such as retreats, days' of recollection, and meetings and classes kind of curtial activities like these.

But know that I keep you and the troops and our President and Country always in my prayers.

If there is anything I can do from home to help I will.

But count on me on March 1st!

Just heard about the San Antonio rally on Glen Beck's program this morning. We'll travel over from Houston with as many of our friends as we can get in our gas-guzzling Expedition. Hoping for a huge crowd!

Great to hear from you
The CINC isn't swayed by the nut jobs in the street. Neither are we. We appreciate the tough times you all are going through.
Pass the word if the DC Chapter or FreeRepublic can help out.
Kristinn; FTH; Angelwood - It's personal now!

Howdy there buckeroo!

It's been a while since I spake on this heeyar com-puter thang, but I saw a poster at the New York Commie orgy that said:

"Communism has caused the deaths of over 100 Million people! (Let's give it another chance.)"

Of course this was a Freeper in disguise and the peacenicks just didn't know how to handle it. They were simply speechless....

[maxwell]

[nutmeg]

Thanks for the link and the pings. We need all the help we can get getting the word out.

I'm more than happy to help you and the fabulous DC Chapter get the word out! I'm not sure how many of us "up north" will be able to make it to DC on March 1, but you never know... always worth a try.

[Angelwood]

We want people from all 50 states to attend. We know that might be a bit of a stretch, but that's why we are informing them. And, if they can't attend the DC Rally, they might look for or organize a rally in their home town. This is important!

[Neets]

HI DD!!! Glad to see you made it there safely....you and your buddies know you have all of our supporT!!!!!!
