The purpose of this thread will be to pool our resources and ideas to counter the attempted take-over of our nation’s capital and foreign policy.
It is not the place to voice your disgust with those that feel it is necessary to present a street presence to counter the dregs of society seeking to undermine and destroy our country and our leadership. If that is your purpose, please move along.
On January 27, 2007, Thunder90 posted a thread to advise us of the next convergence on our nations capital by the anti-American hate-mongers. This gives us SEVEN WEEKS to organize and strategerize.
While reading Thuder90’s thread and the AAR from the DC Chapter’s counter demonstration last Saturday, January 27th, you will find inquiries in regard to transportation, hotels, metro lines and the like. There were also a number of Freepmails discussing these issues.
For those interested in making our presence known in Washington, DC on March 17, 2007 please feel free to offer what you can.
· If you are driving and have room for others, let us know the general vicinity you will begin the trip. I have an offer now of someone willing to pay for half the gas to share a ride.
· We already have offers of rooms/beds for those that need a place to stay. We can always use more!
· Perhaps you can rally enough interest in your area that renting a van or chartering a bus would be worthwhile. Let us know and we will see if that can be arranged.
· Those that live in the greater DC area or will have a vehicle at your disposal may be able to help shuttle folks from hotels or metro stations.
· We may need wheel chairs and those to push them.
· Those that have blogs, talk shows, columns or access to others that do – please share!
Any specifics should be discussed via FReepmail!

(D.C. Chapter Report on 1/27/07)
There are no formal plans at this time. Why plan a big rally/counterdemonstration if no one plans to attend?
Rest assured the DC Chapter faithful, with assistance from local citizens and troops, will be in DC on March 17th between 11:00 AM and however long it takes to ensure our presence is known.
The question is – WILL YOU BE THERE?
Good for you!
My hubby was driving home from work this evening and saw this huge sign hanging from an overpass that read RESCUE OUR TROOPS! It incensed him so much that he drove around, parked two blocks away (it was pedestrian only), walked to the overpass and cut that offensive thing down. He gathered it up and threw it in the back of his truck. He showed it to me and commented, "Someone really worked hard on this sign, huh?" They had. Too bad.
It's also the little things.... :^)
I did tell him that maybe he should keep that sign and add on the end "from the liberals in congress". ;^)
Fayetteville is still on.
Does this need a DC Chapter ping? No way to tell how many you ping at post #2.
BUMP
You should also contact San Francisco Voice for Israel.
I don't think there will be many moonbats in Fayetteville... Only the local moonbats that can't go to DC.
Not sure I saw your names on any of the pings for this.
If the last two years are any indication they will concentrate their efforts there. There were moonbat orgies elsewhere on that weekend in 2005 and 2006 also, but I believe the Fayetteville frenzy eclipsed even those in DC, NY, SF, etc.
I could be wrong, I'm just going from my feeble memory.
I will either be in DC or Fayetteville.
Hi Just A Nobody :)
I'm thinking. And I'm working on a trip there on this day. I think I may be able to do it. Thanks so much for the thread and ping to it!
Usually by now, ANSWER and UFPJ would be directing their moonbats to go to Fayetteville and there would only be a local protest in DC. Not this year. The moonbats are dead set on levitating the Pentagon and spitting at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
Will do,thanx for the tip.
Ah, March 17th! Might be time to have a St.Patrick's Day parade right along ANSWER's route. Might chase a few snakes!
We are not going to allow this to happen if we have to stand 20 deep around the WALL.
This letter will be going all over the Internet...to all the major Veteran groups...please spread this far and wide.
This was posted on another group. In case you think it's of little importance, they are formimg up at THE WALL! In case you think these are a bunch of loonies with nothing better to do on St. Patrick\'s Day, think again. Here is a link to the groups involved (They are NOT the Boy Scouts) and to their website. Be sure to check out the t-shirts they are selling, especially the Che Guevera one.
It is my opinion that it is time to plan a St. Patricks Day Road Trip, and Lock & Load, at least in the verbal sense and protect a very Sacred and Special Place. I am not saying we should express any opinion on the war, that is for each of us to decide.
What I am saying is how many of us want Jane Fonda, Cindy Sheehan, FMLN (Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front) USA, Vietnam Veterans Against the War Anti-Imperialist, Welfare Warriors, All India Anti-imperialist Forum, Muslim Student Association West, Berkeley Fellowship UU\'s Social Justice, Gay Liberation Network - Chicago; B. Ross Ashley co-founder Union of American Exiles-1968* Toronto, and hundreds of other far left, Anti American Organizations to use The Wall as a focal point for their own Private Agendas? Yes, we all served to protect their Freedom of Speech, but if their oblivious use of this Sacred Ground to garner more Media Coverage goes un-challenged, surely the Spirits of our Dead Brothers and Sisters on The Wall will cry out in pain.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS LIST!

March 17 -- March on Pentagon!: Time to Turn Up the Heat!
~ 40th anniversary of the historic 1967 march on the Pentagon ~
~ 4th anniversary of the start of the Iraq war ~
On March 17, 2007, the 4th anniversary of the start of the criminal invasion of Iraq, tens of thousands of people from around the country will descend on the Pentagon in a mass demonstration to demand: U.S. Out of Iraq Now! 2007 is the 40th anniversary of the historic 1967 anti-war march to the Pentagon during the Vietnam War. The message of the 1967 march was \"From Protest to Resistance,\" and marked a turning point in the development of a countrywide mass movement.
In the coming days and weeks, thousands of organizations and individuals will begin mobilizing for the upcoming March on the Pentagon. Organizing committees and transportation centers are being established to bring people to the March on the Pentagon.
The March 17 demonstration will assemble at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Constitution Gardens) at 12 noon in Washington, D.C.and march to the Pentagon.
We can not allow this to happen!

Joy - I pinged a handful of the DC Chapter faithful that attend the rallies and FReeps. I do not have the DC ping list, therefore I have no idea who is on it. There are many from the far reaches of the universe that are on it simply to follow what we do.
It appears that there is some panic in the ranks over this thread. I created a ping list from those that responded to this thread ... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1774684/posts
I am not going back to see what names I pulled from that thread and which of the faithful DC chapter members I added as a courtesy.
For everyone's convenience, these are the known DC chapter members (I think) I pinged to this thread that may or may not have responded to the aforementioned thread:

We made our hotel reservations this morning.
And UFPJ is also having a rally down here in Fayetteville. We have our permit for our usual spot. Anyone who can't make it to DC, please head for Fayetteville. If you need directions, Freepmail me and I will give them to you. I would love to be up there at "The Wall" to defend it from the likes of the "unwashed".
