Eagles Up!!
Posted in Events, Briefings by Kit Lange on July 8, 2007
Eagles!
It has been gratifying to follow the chat on the forums about what we should do in September.
While gratifying, it has also been perplexing, because there are so many options available.
After a great deal of consideration by the Board, we have decided to try something different from what we’ve done before—actually do something that is in direct support of the troops.
We thought long and hard about the satisfaction we experience at getting in the faces of the moonbats, and GOE I was truly a joy to behold. And the various in-your-face events we’ve had across the country in recent months have gotten our blood up, too. The Coast Guard Academy; West Point; Ft. Monmouth; Times Square; Greensboro, NC; and on and on. We have been successful in achieving our objectives in every single confrontational event in which we’ve participated.
Now, however, we’re going to support the troops in a more direct way—getting in Congress’s face! Yes, you read it right—we are going to gather on Capitol Hill on September 10th to put pressure on Congress to ignore the moonbats who will be coming in a riotous mode on the 15th in an attempt to coerce our elected officials to do that which they KNOW is wrong—to cut off funding to our troops in Iraq.
This event, to be called “Task Force EAGLE,” will not be a rally in the usual sense. We will have a gathering, to be sure, with appropriate speakers and entertainment, but we won’t be spending four hours under a hot September sun. We will be preparing ourselves, so to speak, for what comes next: a converging on Congressional offices by our Eagle Task Units from the various states.
What I mean by that is that Eagles will congregate by state and will be identifiable by tee shirts or other regalia. Each state’s attendees will constitute a “Task Unit,” like “Task Unit New Jersey,” “Task Unit New York,” “Task Unit Maine,” and the like. After the gathering, each task unit will visit the offices of their senators and, if possible, appropriate representatives.
This will be one colorful and attention-getting event. PLEASE plan on attending! We are already lining up hotels and transportation capabilities.
Now, don’t think there won’t be opportunities to confront the moonbats! We will be strongly encouraging Eagles (and encourage ways for them) to participate in “informal” counter-demonstrations in full view of those America-hating morons! As September approaches, we will publish the intelligence we have on the moonbats’ intentions so as to maximize our effectiveness in getting in their faces.
A.N.S.W.E.R. will be in DC on the 15th and over the weekend (and possibly the following week) of Sep. 28/29. They are talking about an encampment, just like that lawless, hatred-spouting encampment that was conducted in 1971. This time, though, they will not go unopposed!
This will, of course, require tremendous coordination between all of us, but we’ve shown that we’re up to the task.
It will, of course, take a lot of money to rent the platform, the sound system, the porta-potties, the EMT tent, etc. May I ask that you send your most serious contribution as soon as you can? Go to the “Donate” button and contribute by PayPal, or, alternatively, send a check, payable to “GOE,” to me at: “GOE; P.O. Box 291; Chocowinity, NC 27817.”
Many thanks, and Eagles Up!

And I’ll be living in Virginia then! You bet I’ll be in DC!!
Looking forward to meeting my new Elected Officials.

And so it goes ~ On and On and On
Reid, Pelosi discuss six months of Democratic accomplishments
(the title alone makes me laugh…)
Washington, D.C.— Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders today reflected on the Democratic-led Congress’s accomplishments in the six months since assuming the majority and looked forward to continuing its progress in July. (Progress? You want to see a real quagmire, nevermind Iraq. Just watch Congress.)
Even with Republicans trying to block our efforts at every turn, (Aww! Are the Republicans being mean again? It was okay when you were pulling this kind of politiking ~ don’t much like when the tables are turned, do ya?) this Democratic Congress is delivering on our promises to the American people as we continue to put working families first (Yeah, raising taxes to a level never before seen really helps working families! You betcha!) and make our nation more secure. (Umm, what about the fence? and enforcing laws already on the books that would take care of a lot of the open borders problems? And letting the Border Patrol DO THEIR JOBS without sending them to prison!!) Both the House and Senate have passed the bipartisan 9/11 Commission recommendations and tough ethics and lobbying reform, (Ethics?, Earmarks? A whole lotta pot calling the kettle black here, I’m thinking.) while also raising the minimum wage and balancing the budget. (Ooooh! Biggies!! Oh yeah ~ ) Yesterday Republicans once again objected to making our country safer and cleaning up Washington, blocking Democrats’ efforts to move the 9/11 Commission recommendations and ethics reform bills to conference. (Maybe because the bills are total poo-poo!)
“Democrats have made great progress in addressing America’s priorities and tackling problems this Administration and past Republican Congresses have ignored,” Reid said. “We have much to be proud of from the first half of the year, (Keep saying it, Harry! You’re all so good at saying something you WANT to be true, over and over again, even when it’s not.) and we have even more to do as we enter the second. In the coming weeks, we will continue to force a change of course in Iraq (Surrender!! Retreat!! There will be no winning any war on our watch, by gum!!!) until the President and Congressional Republicans finally heed the advice of military experts, (carefully chosen for their politics) respect the will of the American people, (you mean your nutroot fringe koolaid drinkers who are buying your party?) and join us in bringing the war to a successful (Surrender!!! ) and responsible (Retreat!!!) end. Neither our troops nor the American people can afford to wait until September for a new strategy.” (Because the Surge might just work!! And that would mean Victory for Bush and we just can’t have that!! No! Not at all!! Besides, we’re so dang tired of the war – we just want to focus on more useless social services to keep our constituents victimized so we continue to have a job. And power and all those nice little ol’ perks we get for being an “Elected Official”.)
Said Pelosi: “Democrats have brought a new direction to Congress. (Surrender!! Retreat!! Taxes!!!) It is a new way of thinking (ummm, no it’s not ~ remember the 60’s and 70’s? How soon you forget!) and a new Washington (it may be “new” but it ain’t American.)– one in which we defend our country (Retreat!! surrender!! Ignore!!), grow our economy (by taking all the money we can get out of the citizens pockets – we really just want to grow our own economy. We don’t really give a rat’s a$$ about you people.) care for our children and families, (WE Know What’s Best For You and we will not let you forget it!) protect our planet (by flying our planes all over the world mucking up this and that. And having Concerts!! and putting so many regulations on businesses that there will be no way to make a profit.) and restore accountability. (You might want to start in your own House first. You know that “log in the eye” thing that a wise person once spoke about.) This is in the tradition of our founding fathers, (they be turning over in their graves at this point. Not that they didn’t have their own squabbles, but gee, they put the good of the country above their pet peeves.) and honors the will of the American people.” (Those nutroots must be appeased ! They’re scary and threatening….plus they have a LOT of money!!)
Looking forward to more debate today on the Iraq War. Welcome to the Circus!!
(They seem to forget about the troops in Afghanistan until it can be used as a political scoring point.)
