FreeRepublic to hold Pro-Bush demonstrations along Inagural Parade route

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all conservatives who share our jubilation with the re-election of President Bush and Vice President Cheney to join us in Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20, 2005, for a very special demonstration.

In order to help prevent a repeat of the leftist-led assaults and disruptions during the 2001 Inaugural parade, the D.C. Chapter applied for a demonstration permit with the U.S. Park Police last January for three key locations along the Inaugural Parade route on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Those locations are: The Navy Memorial, between 7th and 9th Streets, NW, where in 2001 leftists climbed the masts and tore down flags and pennants, replacing them with "anarchist" flags; Freedom Plaza, between 13th and 14th Streets, NW; and Pershing Park, between 14th and 15th Streets, NW.

Our goal is to give pro-Bush-Cheney people the opportunity to enjoy the parade and share fellowship with like-minded conservatives while holding demonstrations in support of the President and his conservative policies including pro-life, pro-2A, pro-military and pro-war-on-terrorists.

The D.C. Chapter is reaching out to other conservative groups, inviting them to join us in common cause that day. We recognize that not everyone agrees with every one of the President's policies, however we are asking those who stand with us to set aside those criticisms just for one day. There will be plenty of criticism from the left that day. Our job is to represent the 61 million Americans who voted in record numbers to give the President a mandate for his agenda.

Our plan is to have a 'salute to veterans' gathering at the Navy Memorial. Issue-oriented demonstrators will gather at Freedom Plaza. Pershing Park will be used as the D.C. Chapter's base of operations.

There will be plenty of law enforcement officers all along the parade route. Security checkpoints will be established that all who wish to stand along the parade will have to pass through. The leftists will do their best to ruin the President's day, but by conservatives coming out in large numbers at our permitted demonstration areas we can deny them ground from which to operate from. Several leftist groups have their own permit applications in so they should not be able to encroach on ours.

The D.C. Chapter's pro-Bush demonstration zones are set to be islands of peace from the angry leftists. We will not condone any provocations or violence.

Please bring American and service flags, along with signs supporting President Bush and our conservative agenda. The parade will run from about 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. However, people will be gathering along the parade route from early morning on through the afternoon.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for demonstrating will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

All persons and groups participating in our permitted demonstration areas must agree to abide by our rules for civilized demonstrations

gotta keep that confined to the website; wouldn't want people to know what friggin nutjobs they all are :crazy:

They also say that you can't tell someone to "get a job". BUT...I caught one of them on camera once! It was in Chicago so I guess the rules don't really apply, but still.

"As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for demonstrating will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect."

I do make a point of always following the rules dictated by guys named Kristinn. :eyes:

No shoes, no shirt...yep, you're a redneck.

Historically they've had problems with that, as I recall.

in that neck of the woods n/t

:crazy:

If you get my drift.

...along the route simply turn their backs on Bush**'s limo.

Viva la Free Republique!! Not.

NGU.

Then what the hell's the point if they're not gonna show their true selves? :crazy:

Surely we here at DU will at least attempt to balance the welcoming party?

Which reminds me, isn't "Free Rebublic" a misnomer?

I would suggest: RepressedFascist.com ... they would be Reefies.

I'd be there with a sackfull of eggs and rotten tomatoes.

The Govenor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, will be playing there with his band, capitol Offense

With 9% vote for Bush in DC all i can tell 'em is Good luck guys.

A sad commentary when you hold demonstrations FOR somebody. They should erect a billboard for him while they're at it.



Have fun you brown-shirt fucks.

And I haven't seen them this upset and scared since the first debate.

to the big shingdig? I'm sure this will be quite the event... :eyes:

freaking pathetic

How are we supposed to throw eggs from our Free Speech Cage?
