Freepers march "for justice" in DC on Thur April 7
Pre rally dinner on Wednesday at Tom Sarris' Orleans House restaurant in Rosslyn, Virginia at 7 p.m.

Thursday's after rally dinner will be held at the Cap City Brewing Co. located at 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NW

Rally to be held at Upper Senate Park?

If you do not want to dine with a bunch of Freepers then you probably want to avoid those restaurants on Wed and Thur.

Also avoid the park on Thur.

1. Hirelings.
Everyone knows that Freepers do not attend their own rallies
because there are only three of them
-- until they contact the local temp agencies.

Published on Monday, November 1, 2004
State Democrats reacted quickly when the Republican Party, trying to garner last-minute support with New Hampshire's swing voters, began paying part-time workers $75 this weekend to devote a day to the Bush campaign -- especially in liberal areas like Hanover.
Democratic field organizers in the area alerted supporters and volunteers Friday about students from nearby colleges who had been paid to hold Bush-Cheney signs and wear campaign stickers on the Green.

7. Why should we stay away?
We pay taxes that they steal and use against us.
Lets challenge them.
Lets "Freep" their rally.

3. This one is different
For the past month Freeperville has had a whole section set aside to drum up participants to go to DC. They have have fund raising drives to support everyone's trip to DC.

They are also having local drives for freepers to call, mail and visit their local representatives.

They are going all out.

4. WOW!
Maybe then they will get a crowd in the high single digits.
Or better if Jeff Gannon
and his posse from the National Presstitute Club show up.

5. Fine. Scoff
But they could only get a dozen or two a day down in Florida but were able to hijack the nation's media and courts for almost three weeks.

Tom Delay is going after the fillibuster and the freepers will be there carrying signs of support in front of hoards of media.

6. Oh, I do not misunderestimate their poison
or the hold they have on the mainstream media.
I saw them bring the statue of Saddam down with about thirty or forty actors.
I saw the Brooks Brothers riot and the Supreme Court's reaction.
I saw Diebold "win" the last election.
And I have seen the attendance at Freeper rallies.

Sorcery must be involved.

10. No problem in avoiding those restaurants
I think the only people who eat at Tom Sarris's come into town on a charter bus -- I've heard some ugly stories from people who made the mistake of eating there.
