I know. This is a vanity. In twenty years here, I do not write vanities, never mind put them into Breaking News.

However, SOMEONE needs to do this. If not me, then WHO?

Ask yourself this: Lord, is it I? If not me, than who? Is it I Lord?

I don't want to do this, I want someone lese to lead, but it's not happening...

Join me?

I am afraid if I go to DC on a march I will start burning cars and destroying govt. buildings...I am a nasty man.

Labor Day is the worst day of the year to hold anything, unless it is a newly delivered baby.

Sometime in early October is good since the weather is usually mild and people have some time on their hands between Labor Day, Veterans Day and Thanksgiving.

Let’s call it the “Drain The Swamp March” if someone hasn’t already suggested it.

The posters alone would be worth coming to see. And billboards along highways feeding into DC (if we still have billboards) or make our own.

Swamp Rats - Holder, Lynch, Mueller, Rosenstein, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, John Kerry, Clapper (A Big assed bell would be his picture), Brennan (pick an image), and Comey (A big rat with weaselly whiskers.) etc.

We would have a “Pied Pipers of DC Brigade” to help drive the rats out. Bring your flutes and drums.

Also, we could have a “DOJ Brigade” - “Drive Out the Jerks” brigade.

FBI - “Federal Bullshit Investigators”

Featuring the “Dossier Dancers”, with music by the “Fife and Drum Them Out” band.

A new “CCC” operation - “Cleanout Congress’ Corruption” Brigade. Joined by the “X-Lax Movement” brigade - dedicated to cleaning the crap out of Congress.

The “Terminator Brigade” for “Term Limits for Rats”. Our slogan would be “We ARE back”.

The “Hillary Clinton Hard-Drive Bleaching and Smashing Brigade” with people do just that.

and the “Remember the Benghazi Betrayal” Brigade, just to rub it in. Photos of the burning building and drawings of the bodies of our diplomats.

The list of possible exhibits and posters is unlimited.

Just thinking.

The single most effective campaign was going to the town halls, filling them to the rafters, and letting our congresscritters know directly how ticked off we are.

A march on Washington? The left has done it so many times (sometimes with so few people) that it is hardly newsworthy anymore (least in the opinion of the drive by media.)

Now it might be worthy to do a march on the various state capitols. Those still seem to garner good press coverage.

More truthfully, the real marches need to take place at city hall. In the long run, their craving for tax dollars fuels much of the federal largess and most of the outright theft of taxpayer funds. Federal tax dollars for a park fountain? For re-paining a AA baseball stadium? The list is nearly endless and it all flows from the porkzilla in Washington.

If we can get our towns to stop holding up cardboard signs on the streetcorners of Washington DC, maybe we can get them working again, and more importantly, working for the people.

It needs to be on a day that the Swamp Creatures are all there, and Congress is in Session, and they can see us.

That means a lost workday or two for most of us. But, then again, how much is your country’s future worth???

IF we would want to have march end with a rally and speakers, we would want to plan it when Congress is in session to pull in Freedom Caucus and perhaps even President Trump (nothing on his daily calendar, but should check his travel schedule) and VP Pence...hey they are speaking at the NRA convention in Dallas, so why not in DC at a rally supporting their administration?!?!

Most of us live in flyover country...why not protest where we live? Gathering in small towns, cities near us...something on that order? It can be a financial and physical burden on many to travel to D.C.. I have no issue with a large gathering in D.C. I would love to go. At this point with my husband’s health there is no way. I just want to make sure those of us that very likely cannot make it that far also have places designated to gather and let our voices be heard too. Freepers who live in these areas could organize something in their own area.

We need an overall theme that can be carried out nation wide along with people free to carry different signs of support as well. The dims love to say President Trump is not their President, we could have a nation wide theme of something simple like President Trump is OUR President...something catchier...I know FReepers could come up with something.

I rather like the idea Trump goes out to the people.....with NKorea, Iran etc. on his plate I’m not so sure ‘protesting’ anything is such a grand idea at this time.

If communties across the nation wanted to hold a Support Day for Trump that would be great but these arches to WAshington don’t hold much water unless they’re gigantic....

Guess I’ll wait to see what the thread sstates from others.

Maybe it could be regional?

The reality of the situation is that most on "our" side have work and/or family commitments, and may be further away than a day trip to D.C. which of course brings up scheduling and cost issues.

If 10,000 people showed up to 4 regional DOJ offices at the same time, it could be just as effective...maybe more-so, than say 40,000 in D.C. alone.

Great idea. I’m in. In the meantime we should be in Mitch McConnell’s face. The disgraceful Senate should not be allowed to get away with their blatant disregard and disrespect for the voters. We need to be heard. We pay their salaries. Sick of their sabotaging our President and their two day work weeks and do nothing BS.

Hey bud! I think you are right.

Actually Rush had this come up yesterday by a well spoken caller. Rush's comment was something like: just don't credit me with starting it all. He rightly does not want to be looked upon as using his massive audience as the start of it all. I think he's right.

Better that it happens like this with AB and so many other fine conservatives calling for a rally of millions to go to the White House and hopefully ask Trump to lead the parade as we march through the nastiest of cities. First lets get rid of the Mule Team.

Brother, I will be on Capitol Hill even if I have to crawl the 150 miles from my farm to get there. And I’ll be prepared to STAY THERE until President Trump and our disgraceful Congress take definitive action to DRAIN THAT DAMN SWAMP and rid our government of every Obama/Clinton traitor in the Deep State.

Any Freeper going to or from D.C. who would need to camp on my 87-acre farm off I-68 in Garrett County, Maryland may contact me once the dates are set. I will have Port-a-Johns, drinking water, and trash containers available. This invite is ONLY for Freepers and their traveling associates.

I have been enraged for several days now about what is happening to this President, his family, his associates and our country.

I just read this and thought it was well worth the time to read. It calmed me down a bit.

I’d rather it happened on July 4.
Inconvenience, no excuse. Not in the 1770’s it wasn’t.

I agree with you.

My advice would be - saturate other right thinking forums/blogs with this idea, and definitely use twitter, facebook and instagram. If it grows wings - get in touch with any and all politicians that support the cause.

You could start a chain reaction and get a very large number of people to attend....

Make it September 28, the day of Trump’s possible gov’t shut-down over the budget and the wall. As he said:

“We need security. We need the wall.” “We come up again on September 28, and if we don’t get border security, we’ll have no choice. We’ll close down the country because we need border security.”
