Hey, folks....
I'm planning a flag rally for my area; the target date is Saturday, September 1st, from 10am-1pm. If anyone in this general area might like to attend, the site will be the corner of Colliers Way and Pennsylvania Avenue, in Weirton, WV, in front of the Rite Aid drug store. That's a very, very busy intersection, right off Interstate 22, and perfect for this type of thing.
Anyone who doesn't know what a flag rally is....it's kind of a "Honk if you love America" thing. It's simply a gathering of patriotic people who support the troops, their country, and value American ideals and interests; they bring flags, of course; American flags, state and military flags, POW flags, etc. They dress in appropriately patriotic attire, and display inspirational and patriotic signs and banners. It's just to have fun, and make a statement, standing for your beliefs.
I'm working on forming a chapter of the American Patriot Council around here---well, technically, it's already formed, but I'm the only member, right now---and I'd really like to make a statement, right out of the gate; a loud bang. That loud bang will take people to attend.
The APC was formed about a year ago as a conservative, rightist response to groups like Code Pink, ANSWER and MOVEON.org. To look it up online, see the link.
So, if you, or someone you know, is in this general area, and would perhaps like to attend, let me know. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
