National Three Percenter Meeting Called: In the middle of a huge demonstration in DC on 12 September.

"09.12.09 March on Washington: The Tea Party Movement Goes to Capitol Hill"

Folks,

The March on Washington on 12 September will likely represent the culmination of all the anger and resentment that the Obamanoids' various grabs for power have generated all over the country. We have all, I think, participated in various Tea Parties in our local AOs and have experienced the indignation, the building rage at being forced by our "betters" to shut up, pay up and do what we are told. For the first time in my life, I think liberty-loving people, every-day folks, are ready to march in the streets in numbers. And frankly, I want to be there when they do.

I know the march is being organized by Dick Armey's people. I know that there will be folks there who actually are part of the problem. I also know that nominally this demonstration is about Obamacare. Except that it isn't.

For just as Obamacare is not really about health care, but about the government grabbing control over more of our lives, so too is the protest against it more than about health insurance.

It is about liberty. And where people demanding liberty are, that's where the Three Percent need to be.

I will be in DC by the afternoon of 10 September to meet with an old friend, and likely some new friends too. Link up information will be posted later. The recognition sign will be some sort of III percent logo, Threeper patches on boonie hat or jacket, an improvised III on an armband or a hat, anything.

Look forward to seeing y'all there.

Maybe we'll have a Threeper "flash mob," who knows?

Information on the demonstration can be found here.

Note: We will, unfortunately, be obeying all local laws. DC is not Arizona, more's the pity. Hey, here's a thought. Is it illegal in DC to carry TOY guns?

"Perhaps everyone could carry empty holsters containing copies of THE CONSTITUTION... or The Declaration of Independence."; August 20, 2009 at 9:23 AM
Steve K said...: I do not know the laws regarding toy guns on Capital Hill. Its not a bad idea to look into though, as some Airsoft weaponry would look nearly identical to real rifles to a Bed-Wetter.; August 20, 2009 at 10:01 AM

Ian said...: Virginia is an open carry state, and we will likely be having an OC dinner that evening. Details will be posted on the home page of vaguninfo.com closer to the event.; August 20, 2009 at 12:16 PM
W W Woodward said...: Ian,

If the DC cops get stupid you could very well get a taste of OC that evening.

I wish I could be there, but lack of funds, travel time and other major commitments will be keeping me away.

Y'all take care.; August 20, 2009 at 1:05 PM
Qi Ji Guang said...: I am coming. Will you be setting up the Sipsey Street sign? I would be so honored to meet everyone.

I am still depressed that the June Oath Keeper rally had been canceled virtually at the last minute. I am so happy now this is under way.; August 20, 2009 at 4:08 PM

Threepers should have no problem recognizing this type of organization. Personally, I find no fault with them at the policy level. They are small-government conservatives.

I was thinking of going anyway, and this seals it for me. I will meet you there (and be honored to do so), as always, Lord willing and the creek don't rise...

Best Wishes,

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
