ANSWER is planning a massive coordinated rally with UFPJ and World Can't Wait. The date has not been set yet, but they want to hold their rally either in November of this year or on March 22nd, 2008. The Gathering of Eagles, FreeRepublic, MoveAmericaForward, RightMarch and ProtestWarrior must be prepared to counter this with the LARGEST patriotic rally ever seen in DC.
From International ANSWER http://answer.pephost.org/site/News2?abbr=ANS_&page=NewsArticle&id=8501
"Proposal to build a truly mass outpouring of the people
If every anti-war coalition and organization came together on a particular day, and with enough advance notice, under the simple demand End the War Now it would be easily possible to mobilize one million people. The political mood in the country exists to make this happen.
So as to facilitate the greatest degree of coordination between organizations to build a massive outpouring, the ANSWER Coalition is not unilaterally setting a date for this potentially million-strong march and rally. However, we recommend holding it sometime in November of 2007, or on March 22, 2008--the fifth anniversary of the war." In order to have such a huge demonstration, enough time must be given to allow the organizations and coalitions to come together and for intensive national outreach and organizing.
This period of time between now and the demonstration would not be a period of quiet, it would be a time of intensifying anti-war activity and education at the local and regional level culminating in this mass action. Unfortunately, unless the political relationship of forces changes inside the United States or in Iraq, the war and occupation will continue through November and beyond. We are proposing a specific tactic that can contribute to shifting the equation. "
We have our work cut out for us. EAGLES UP!!!
If this happens and the left does come together and actually gets even 1/3 of the numbers advertised, we NEED to show up in mass (even more than the RT rally on Memorial Day).
Heads up for November of this year and March of next year!!!
I can see them picking Veteran’s Day and even possibly the Thanksgiving Weekend. Possibly even trying to disrupt the NY Thanksgiving Day Parade.
I hear Cindy won’t be there.
November is not possible for me. I might could make March, tho.
Looks like ANSWER is having problems to have to start PUBLICALLY planning their next event.
And I'm sure they have already submitted a permit for every open space in D.C. to keep us away.
A similar thread has also been posted on Gathering of Eagles.

They will help George sell us out.

They’ll break down into squabbling before it happens. The election is over.
Cool. FR has an East-coast/West-coast feud just like the rappers.
Why counter protest? You are never going to get as much attention as your own march. Does anyone care what the commies say anymore. Letting them blather on on CSPAN is the worst - for them. I made several anti-war types I know watch it and even they said is was absurd.
Why add to the event? Do your own “troops” rally on your own day.
Because silence is approval
Marching on your own day isn’t silence.
Yes, true. Have you ever noticed that the lefties can’t prevent the far-lefties from marching with them. Che signs, hammer and sickles, red flags, it’s a horrible group-expression of tolerance (at worst) or support for evil genocidial maniacs and ideology.
I repost a pic of your event (with no commentary) and you go on the attack? Why? What’s wrong with the pic?
Maybe you should check that short fuse.
Wow! A million surrender monkeys all in one place! I wonder if a charity can’t be set up to donate them a few hundred thousand bars of soap.
