The D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com extends a warm welcome to all attending the Kerry Lied rally in D.C. this weekend.
Previous to this announcement, we have made no offical plans except for attending the rally and the Saturday night reception. However, with so many FReepers travelling to D.C. from across the country, we would be remiss in not hosting a FReeper gathering or two.
Therefore, we have two suggestions for activities. One is a gathering at the Russian embassy at 2650 Wisconsin Avenue, NW on Saturday, September 11, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., to mark the third anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks and to show our support for those suffering similar terrorist attacks.
The other is a breakfast gathering Sunday, September 12, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., at the Holiday Inn on the Hill located at 415 New Jersey Avenue, NW. This is just a few blocks from the rally site.
Please check in on this thread if you will be in town this weekend, and if you plan to attend either activity.
We'll try to answer questions on this thread about tourism and other travel related questions. Hope to see you here!

I attended the press conference for the rally today. I'll have a report with photos posted later today or this evening. It was interesting.

The gathering at the Russian Embassay sounds like an excellent idea.

I'm REALLY looking forward to hearing all about this rally. It will be interesting to see how much, if any, MSM coverage it gets.
To: kristinn
Boy I wish I could join you all. Please have a great turn out and make lots of News for us.

I surely hope someone has written or called C-Span and request they cover this and also the Veterans rally against Kerry to be held the same day.

Thanks. People in the D.C. area have been leaving flowers at the embassy since the heinous murders of the children. Folks have also been signing a condolence book there. The sidewalk in front of the embassy is open enough to hold to a small gathering without causing disruptions.

We look forward to meeting you. There is no close Metro subway stop to the embassy. Metro bus does run up Wisconsin Avenue, however. Street parking is available, but you may have to park a few blocks away.

The KERRY LIED Rally location is right outside CPAN's studios. It will be tough for them to ignore.
To: kristinn
Thanks Kristinn,
I'll be there. It will be an honor to join you at the Russian embassy, and of course, on Sunday for the Viet Nam Vets Rally.
DC Chapter Rules.

Is there any information as to if C-Cpan will give coverage? I know with their liberal bent, it is likely a bridge too far, but hope springs eternal.

John Kerry directly contributed to the lies of the anti war movement AND caused deaths and injuries
to US Military serving in Vietnam AND
directly caused deaths from injuries at home AND countless suicides because of his false testimony.
John Kerry is not fit to be elected dog catcher let alone President of the United States.
ANYONE who votes for Kerry AFTER knowing this data
is guilty of covering up John Kerry's war crimes!
John Kerry, director of the Vietnam Veterans against the War,
testified before special session the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
April 22, 1971
KERRY GAVE TESTIMONY BASED UPON FALSE INFORMATION
THAT KERRY KNEW AHEAD OF TIME TO BE FALSE!
September 6, 2004 -- **BREAKING** In Yesterday's Lies: Steve Pitkin and the Winter Soldiers, Scott Swett tells the story of a former VVAW member and participant in the Winter Soldier Investigation who states that John Kerry and others pressured him to give false testimony about American atrocities in Vietnam. After more than 33 years, Pitkin is the first Winter Soldier "witness" to file a legal affadavit regarding that event...
My name is Steve Pitkin, age 20, from Baltimore. I served with the 9th Division from May of '69 until I was airvaced in July of '69. I'll testify about the beating of civilians and enemy personnel, destruction of villages, indiscriminate use of artillery, the general racism and the attitude of the American GI toward the Vietnamese. I will also talk about some of the problems of the GIs toward one another and the hassle with officers.
-- Steve Pitkin, Winter Soldier Investigation, February 1, 1971.
E-Mail and/or fax these url's to EVERYONE ASAP! Kerry MUST be exposed NOW!

I think I will go to the Kerry Lied rally, too. However, I will not make the breakfast, since I will probably be snoozing at that time...

This is a silly question...but where is Upper Senate Park? Are they talking about Union Station Plaza near the fountain?
