We finally have the logistics firmed up, folks! Here's the scoop on what you need to know about the Support For Victory Rally directly from the rally organizer, Mark Lewis:
Our location will be between 4th and 5th streets on Muhammed Ali Blvd. on the north side of the street. Everyone should plan to try and be there at 4:30. If you want to be there to help us get set up and see some of the pre arrival action I would suggest 3pm. Parking should be available in some of the lots and parking garages in that area around 5th St.
It is extremely important that Congress not take any action that will have an effect of jeopardizing any further the military's ability to fight what is a tough war. The stronger they are in numbers, infantry, technology, moral etc., the safer and more successful they will be. Every political burden we add to them from home does that much more to detract from their mission and their ability to wage a successful military campaign.
When each of you stands with us on Friday our message to Congress is that much stronger. This event will be seen by national media and commented on by key groups and individuals in the media who effect public opinion. And I assure you that there will be large numbers from the other side of the political spectrum.
For those of you who were active with the Louisville Chapter of Protest Warrior back in the good old days, you can expect to see the old familiar hippies from LPAC as they plan to protest President Bush's visit in the same vicinity as this rally. Bring your signs, your CDs, your flags, and your liberty-lovin' spirits!
Everyone else, I cannot even begin to express how GREAT it feels to stand up out in public to declare that you support this country, our President, and our troops. It's an opportunity to do something that raises morale overseas while it makes your heart absolutely soar. You don't want to miss this!
(Mark, thanks so much for what you're doing! You're a breath of fresh in the quiet tomb of Conservative activism these days!!)
