OPPOSE THE FASCIST STATE RUN MARCH ON SEPTEMBER 11
Hi, everyone.

As I am sure you are aware, the United States Government (or, as they define it,"the nation") is sanctioning a "freedom walk" on September 11, 2005 to:

". . .remember the victims, honor our veterans, past and present, and celebrate our freedom with the America Supports You Freedom Walk, organized by the Department of Defense:"

It is my strong belief that this event deliberately crosses the threshold between freedom of assembly and totalitarian institutionalism.

Your government has no business organizing nor funding such an event. This is what separates our nation from North Korea, Cuba, The Former Soviet Republic, et. al. Should the federal government or any entity therein wish to organize a march, parade, or "walk," it is essential that the matter is discussed in committee and VOTED ON by your representative government. The alternative is a state sponsored deliverance of MANDATORY SUPPORT for the STATE.

Examples:

THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HAS CONTRIBUTED TAXPAYER MONEY TO THIS EVENT WITHOUT CONSENT FROM THE HOUSE OR SENATE

YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT TO PARTICIPATE

YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY WILL BE SEARCHED IF YOU WISH TO PARTICIPATE

Should this event be held unabated, we will be sending a message to our government that we are willing to be forced to support the state.

You can read about the event here:

Please, write your Senators and Reps to oppose state sanctioned celebrations. The proper way for the government to suggest events like these is to PETITION THE HOUSE AND SENATE for a FEDERAL HOLIDAY and leave it up to INDIVIDUAL STATES AND MUNICIPALITIES to determine what to offer the public.

You can find your Senator's contact info here:

http://www.senate.gov/

You can find your Representative's contact info here:

http://www.house.gov/

PLEASE PARTICIPATE IN THIS CAUSE!

Thanks and God Bless!

1. Can we have
some sort of counter rally? I'm sure it would be better attended than most freeper events, maybe we could get more people out than the actual event. Wouldn't that be sweet?

7. There's an americasupportsyou.mil site that makes me puke
http://www.americasupportsyou.mil/

You can read messages about how Americans in each state are supporting the troops.

You know what most of them say they are doing?
Sporting those damn yellow ribbons.

You call that support?

Why is money being wasted on this PR extravaganza instead of outfitting the soldiers with protective gear and giving them edible food?
:grr:
