To counteract the plans of the MM's and others my local 2nd amendment group is planing a large gathering at the same site the MM's are protesting.

We did this 3 years ago in Broward county and had a great turnout.
The MM's, especially their husbands got very angry at our turnout.
The police had to seperate them from us and warned us to stay a minimum of 100 yards from them.
When we tried to explain they came to us we were threatened with arrest.
Typical.

McCarthy was on c-span today whining about the ban with a large poster of a tec 9 behind her touting the protesting on Mothers day.

This is a chance for our side to be recognized and heard. We got good news coverage last time, very favorable.
Gun violence is a social issue, not a gun issue.

This is where I'll be Mothers day along with my wife and countless others from Monumental Rifle & Pistol Club.

Be sure to have lots of vidio cams, some hidden, going for the full time of the assembly.
The Liberals have a way of starting trouble and then blaming the good guys as expressed above.

[molonlabe]

Thats a good idea. I was told by one of the women in our club that a couple of years ago they shouted obscenities and threatened the marchers and the DC police had to protected them (SAS). She said that the police apologized for the Million Mom demonstrators. I wonder how it will be this year.

If anyone in the area is free come see the lefts fascisms at work.

[burbanite]

Any other local gatherings going on? I'm in for sure.

[burbanite]

I'll add this rather than edit as it is a shameless bump opportunity.

I can only imagine that many of you will have seen this before but I thought it would be a wonderful tool to take to the gathering. Hand them out to everyone you see, not just the anti's. I just cannot imagine any right thinking individual, (yes, in the same breath as the word "anti's" ;)), not being affected by this story.

I for one am printing out many copies to distribute whenever the opportunity arises.

Suggestion - Try to get Mary Carpenter as a speaker.

molonlabe;

I was at the last SAS rally. Indeed the MMMers were harassing us. I'm also a member of Monumental. I'll be volunteering at the WOT shoot this Saturday and plan on attending the SAS rally this Mother's Day. Hope to see you at one or both events.

[molonlabe]

See you there. Im the one who made the new target markers for WOT. You'll see what I mean.

[Harry Tuttle]

they are going to march to with in 2 blocks of the SAS rally:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Moms Are Going to March -- Literally
Newly announced plans for Mother's Day include a march down Constitution Avenue after the rally

We have just received the okay to march down Constitution Avenue on Mother's Day, making our Million Mom March event an ACTUAL march!!

The less-than-a-mile march will start from the West Lawn of the Capitol and continue down Constitution Avenue, west toward the Washington Monument. It will conclude at 15th Street and Constitution Avenue, one block from the Ellipse in front of the White House.

Our marching will bring to a close our exciting day, which starts at 10am with an Interfaith Service, and continues from 11am to 2pm with a rally. But the march will also be the send-off for our summer long, Coast-to-Coast Halt the Assault Tour.

So bring your walking shoes, strollers, hand-printed signs, noisemakers, and favorite chants, cuz the Moms are Marching in Washington!

Pro-lifers expect confrontation at NOW march
Abortion advocates vow to strike back during massive D.C. event

A group advocating abortion has threatened destructive and confrontational tactics against pro-life counter-protestors during the upcoming pro-abortion "March for Women's Lives" rally in Washington D.C.

In an alert sent to supporters, the Radical Cheerleaders of DC said engaging abortion opponents in debate is useless "because they are irrational and will not listen to you," so one way to handle them is to destroy their property, because "a thick layer of paint could really complement a bloody fetus picture," according to the Washington-based Culture of Life Foundation.

The event Sunday is described by the National Organization for Women, or NOW, as the "the most significant and massive abortion rights march in over a decade."

The organizers expect hundreds of thousands of participants from about 1,400 organizations and 53 countries.

The Culture of Life Foundation says abortion advocates are angered by the plans of pro-life demonstrators to congregate along the march route and gather in groupings such as parents with small children and infants, women who have had abortions, college students, pro-abortion converts and clergy.

NOW says on its website the First Amendment grants pro-lifers "the right to hold a counter-protest, but it does not grant them the right to interfere with our demonstration."

The Radical Cheerleaders said it calls upon "feminists, radical cheerleaders, anti-authoritarians, [and] anarchists" to "rise up against a tyrannical government which threatens to penetrate women's bodies with its laws."

The group, which claims the pro-choice movement has not done enough for women, held a "guerilla workshop" in January to practice organized resistance for the march, Culture of Life Foundation said.

Sponsors of the march have invited anti-globalization groups, who already will be in Washington to protest the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

Randall Terry, founder of the pro-life group Operation Rescue, has said he will participate in counter-demonstration to the march, dubbed "Operation Witness."

"The pro-abortion movement is frantic at their losses," he said in a statement. "They know we will prevail and make abortion illegal again and their pathetic death march will do nothing to stop our inevitable victory."

Operation Witness says it expects over 1,000 counter-demonstrators.

A spinoff of Operation Rescue, Operation Rescue West, says it "will expose the bloody truth" behind the "deceptive" march with "Truth Trucks" outfitted with graphic signs depicting the remains of aborted children.

The group says some pro-abortion advocates have vowed to vandalize trucks, which will be on the streets of the nation's capital for three days prior to the march.

"Since half of the 1.2 million babies aborted in our nation each year are female, the 'March for Women's Lives' is a sick joke, grossly misnamed," said Operation Rescue West's president, Troy Newman. "The Truth Trucks will confront this hypocrisy with the grisly truth that cannot be ignored: Abortion isn’t about helping women; it is about dismembering healthy human babies."

Hopefully I'll be at the Ag Hall at the Allentown Fairgrounds buying another 4 S&W revolvers! :what: :D That was a banner day which will be hard to duplicate but we must aspire to something in life.:D

Prolly wander down to the Mall and hang out with the SAS's. I hate going into DC (unarmed), but that's how it is. Some of the MMMies were pretty surly towards us the first year, but for some reason, they didn't bother me (meybe 'cuz I'm big? :rolleyes: )

I'm going to wear my "Celebrate Diversity" t-shirt (with all the handguns on the back) with a SAS "Self-defense is a Basic Human Right" bumper sticker on the front, and a pair of dark cargo shorts (no camo):D . I'll ride Metro in/out, which will probably be half fulll of MMMies, should make for interesting conversation. I was halfway considering wearing my airsoft Sig, but I wouldn't want to be responsible for any piddling on the Metro, and the DC cops ain't the brightest bunch, nor would they see the humor/irony . . .
