ANNOUNCING

Rally for America
on
Liberty Weekend - March 22-23!

Support our Troops
Stand up to Terrorists
Liberate Iraq

Sponsored by the Free Republic Network and Young Americans for Freedom

Removing Saddam Hussein from power and eliminating his weapons of mass destruction is an important step in ensuring the safety and security of Americans and of freedom loving people everywhere. Doing this will also liberate Iraq from Saddam’s murderous regime.

According to a recent CBS News poll, 69% of Americans support the use of military action to remove Saddam. However, President Bush has been impeded in accomplishing this by the actions of a small number of activists who have used a sympathetic media to project an image of widespread opposition. Although some participants are sincere if misguided pacifists, their demonstrations have been organized and funded by international leftist groups who are militant in their hatred of America, free-market capitalism and the conservative values on which our country was founded. Their goal is to undermine the authority and effectiveness of the President and his Administration.

Their actions have weakened the resolve of our country, distracted members of our military as they prepare for war, and encouraged a vicious enemy dictator to believe that Americans lack the courage to end his evil schemes.

We need to demonstrate to our fellow citizens, our soldiers, our nation and the world that:

1) we support our troops,
2) we stand in opposition to terrorism and terrorists, and
3) we endorse swift military action in Iraq and the liberation of the Iraqi people.

Over the years, Free Republic has grown into a major force for conservatism and positive change. We have organized and participated in thousands of rallies across this country. Now it is time to join forces with other conservative organizations, combining our efforts to stage a major national event that will make our voices heard not only in America, but around the world. The Free Republic Network has joined with Young Americans for Freedom as national sponsors for this event, in addition to several other large national conservative organizations who will be coming on board early next week. In addition, we expect participation as co-sponsors or endorsers from several hundred other conservative groups who will be contacted in the next few days.

This will be the first time Free Republic has networked with multiple national conservative partners on a national drive and we will be coordinating our efforts and media plan for maximum benefit and return. During the election crisis of 2000, FR organized and participated in demonstrations in over 200 cities. Let's show America and the world what Free Republic is about, and make it our goal to double that benchmark by committing ourselves to a Rally for America in 400 cities and towns!

Here's how you can help:

1. If you are a member of a Free Republic Chapter, help plan a rally for the weekend of March 22-23. If you are not in a Chapter, start one. It doesn't matter if there are 5 or 500 at your location. The country, the world, and most important, our troops will hear your voices. Once you've made your plans, post your rally information at www.freeper.org.

2. Tell your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers and ask them to attend. Call your local newspapers, TV and radio stations and ask them to promote the event. Ask your Church to support the event. Call local organizations like the VFW, AMvets, Kiwanis and Lions Club and ask them to inform their members. Post flyers around your area.

I have just put out the call for Floridians to respond to an idea.

Perhaps we can cover every overpass on every main highway with flags and signs...we'll see if there is a response!

Hey folks I was very disappointed that I missed the Cleveland Rally For America because I had to work. Well I am off March 22-23 and I would really like to have a rally. Who’s with me on this?

[Constitution Day]

Thank you jern.
I'm preparing a mass e-mailing for the NC Rally right now.

I will keep you posted!

[Congressman Billybob]

Good morning, my friend, and congratulations. Belay the question I sent you by e-mail. I sent that question first thing on signing on, before starting to read the threads. As Emily Latella used to say, "Ne-VER-mind."

I'll do my best to be in at least two places at once in support of the multiple rallies.

Cordially,

Congressman Billybob

PINGING West Virginia, MD, PA, and VA FReepers! )))))))
Plan to be in the Martinsburg area on March 22. (INTERSTATE I-81 CORRIDOR). Let's form a West Virginia Chapter of Free Republic. Shepherd College is one of those leftist institutions breeding the anti-America mind-numbed robots. Being in the eastern panhandle, our chapter can attract central/western Maryland, south-central PA, and northern Virginia FReepers. FReepmail me for developing details.

[steveegg]

I thought I was going to be doing some serious travelling. Oh well; the distance won't be as far, but the drive will still be worth it.

Don't know how far past 1,000-1,500 in the snows of Milwaukee we'll get in 2 weeks, but it'll be fun to find out.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Charleston SC's rally is the 22nd at Joe Reilly Stadium. Was surfing to find more info from the radio station that has been promoting it (730 WSC AM Charleston SC ), but nothing yet. They're trying to get Glen Beck to speak, but nothing is firm yet. They had voting for a speaker and Beck came in first. Martin Sheen came in last, they figured people wanted him to come here for other reasons than to hear him speak. Will update as soon as I find firm times and info.

[Xthe17th]

PS: The 167th West Virgnia Air National Guard has been called up to active duty. They are a C-130 transport and Air Medics wing based at the Martinsburg airport and rated one of this great nations TOP units!! LET'S SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Just wanted to add that this is a support our troops rally in Charleston. Not sure who's running it localy.

[Alamo-Girl]

Bump!

[Bob J]

I like it! It reminds me of the FIRST ACTIVIST FREEPER IN FR! In 1998, he went around putting signs on overpasses and cloverleafs. Know who that was? None other than Florida's chapter prez, SEEKING THE TRUTH! Gene, THANKS for the inspiration you gave all us!

[Bob J]

Thanks John! RadioFR will be braodcasting live BOTH days from ALL our events!

[steveegg]

Wasn't my doing. LouD, reaganrenegade, the crow and republicandiva put it on, got one of the two local talk radio stations to send its two big hosts out and linked it to their "In Our Name" campaign. I just showed up along with about 1500 of my closest friends.

Added MN as a keyword, so MN freepers could see it...

Houston Freeper Bump!!!

If you want to be on my Houston Freeper "ping list" a FReepMail is all it takes.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Awesome idea, Bob J. Since an estimated one BILLION viewers will be watching the Oscars, there's a slight chance that our rally by the red carpet will get some press.

[3D-JOY]

Did not know that...

I will contact him for a West Palm influence. He was here in Melbourne last weekend.

Few Floridians seem to want to travel very far...this idea lets them do their thing close to home!

I do lone freeps all the time. I still get comments about the apron, cap, and broom I wore when I carried the sign:
I AM GOING TO WASHINGTON TO SWEEP OUT THE TRASH!
Needless to say it was just before the Imauguration.

[3D-JOY]

Thank you!
They are printed and ready to hand out!

Sorry, found it. Went through the radio station's website too quick get find the host of the local show's page who's been promoting the rally, I missed the big link on their homepage. For Charleston SC rally info, go here;

The reason President Bush came in second is because we are realists and know how busy he is.

Notice how well "liked" the liberal (Joe Riley the man who the stadium is named after ) is in this poll;

Who would you MOST like to hear speak at the Rally for America?

Mark Sanford (Governor) 11.11 %
Fritz Hollings (Senator) 0.00 %
Lindsey Graham (Senator) 4.94 %
Glenn Beck (radio personality) 52.67 %
Retired Veterans of the military 9.88 %
Greg Alan (dork) 2.06 %
President Bush (duh) 13.99 %
Mayor Joe Riley 0.41 %
Martin Sheen 4.94 %
