WE ARE NOT ALONE….FRIENDS AND ENEMIES: KNOW WHERE THEY ARE ON SEPTEMBER 15…BETTER TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE LIKE!
"Each and every one of us must do all that we can to support the major Peace/Impeachment demonstration in Washington, DC on September 15, 2007, backed by more than a million votes for impeachment, and accelerating. The rally will begin at 12 noon at the White House, followed by a march to the Capitol."--Ramsey Clark
This is the next big one fellas, here's ANSWER's press release
September 15 — Join Thousands to Turn Up the Heat in Washington DC
We urge every organization to join in this effort. To register your support for the September 15 march and the actions scheduled in the days following September 15, click on this link.
The ANSWER Coalition; Code Pink; Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation; Cindy Sheehan; Navy Petty Officer Jonathan Hutto, co-founder Appeal for Redress; Malik Rahim, founder of Common Ground Collective, New Orleans; Rev. Graylan Hagler, Ministers for Racial, Social and Economic Justice; Ramsey Clark; Latino Movement USA; Hermandad Mexicana Nacional; Michael Berg; National Lawyers Guild; Father Luis Barrios, Iglesia de San Romero de las Americas - UCC; and many others are joining together to sponsor a large protest in Washington DC timed to coincide with the report by General Petraeus on the "Surge" in Iraq. There will be actions in the halls and offices of Congress in the days following the September 15 march.
Bush and the Pentagon are required to report to Congress on the progress of the "Surge" in Iraq on September 15. Congress will hold hearings the following week. The eyes of the national and international media will be focused on Washington DC and on the words and positions of the politicians and generals. We are determined to make sure that this so-called debate cannot take place inside Congress without them hearing the voices of thousands of angry veterans, students and working people demanding End the War Now!
Funding for the war, which totals $300 million each day, will have to be formally renewed by Congress. It is obvious that the politicians in Congress have become discredited (their approval rating is even lower than Bush’s) because they haven’t voted to end the war. The ANSWER Coalition believes that it is crucial that thousands of people come to Washington DC on September 15 and Turn Up the Heat to demand not one more penny be spent on this criminal war for empire. If the voice of the people is to be heard during this "debate" we must arrive in Washington DC on September 15—not after it is over. This is not the time for symbolic protests—we need to make the politicians and generals feel the heat of the people’s anger. In order to do that, we need as many people as possible to stay in Washington DC. We need to occupy the halls and offices of Congress. We need to raise our voices to demand that Congress stop funding the war immediately.

Government Fines September 15 Organizers $10,000 for putting posters
One of the anti-war organizations mobilizing for the September 15 protest was fined $10,000 for putting up posters promoting the rally in Washington DC. This is an unprecedented action. The ANSWER Coalition is mobilizing political support and is filing a lawsuit against the DC government for this outrageous attempt to stifle the September demonstration. The group has said that it will not pay one penny for the exercise of its First Amendment rights.
Bush’s Interior Department is also threatening other large financial penalties against the group. The posters have been put up for earlier demonstrations. They conform to the government regulations and are completely legal. This is one more attack on Free Speech rights and an attempt to repress and criminalize those who are mobilizing against the Bush government.
The last thing Bush and Cheney want to see is a huge mass demonstration calling for Impeachment and End to the War at the moment that General David Petraeus makes his scheduled report to Congress about the “progress of the Iraq war.” Led by Iraq war veterans and their families, September 15 is shaping up as the biggest political showdown in recent years.
Please tell your friends and families to get on the bus and come to Washington DC on September 15.
We need to raise a huge amount of money for buses, posters, leaflets, sound and stage and the other expenses. We have no corporate funding. The ImpeachBush.org movement will succeed only because of the support from you and others who understand that impeachment is the defining issue for this country and its future. Please make a generous donation today.
Ramsey Clark, Cindy Sheehan are just a few of the well know speakers who will be addressing the September 15. Acting with resolve, We the People, can make the difference in the face of this transparent criminality by high government officials. But we must act right now.
From all of us at,
ImpeachBush.org/VoteToImpeach.org

American democracy will once again be showcased for the world on September 15th as a variety of groups are already gearing up for massive demonstrations on that day in Washington, D.C.
Move America Forward, the nation's largest non-profit, non-partisan grassroots group that vociferously declares their support for Operation Iraqi Freedom and the American soldiers committed to that effort, will culminate their nationwide caravan with thousands of flag waving and placarded demonstrators making a visible statement of support for American efforts to defeat terrorism and introduce democracy to Iraq.
The "Fight for Victory Tour" will set out from Carson City, Nevada on September 3rd and move to Sacramento and San Francisco and then travel from California across the heartland of the United States with a scheduled arrival date of September 14th in Washington where they will meet with members of Congress and conduct a press conference. The massive demonstrations on the 15th will draw bus loads of supporters from across America particularly from locations throughout the east coast.
Rallies in support of the troops are also scheduled for numerous cities across America beginning September 3rd as the Move America Forward tour proceeds to Washington to deliver their message in unequivocal terms. A variety of organizations that also support our troops will join in support of Move Forward America along their route and in Washington. Among those groups are Gathering of Eagles, Vets for Freedom, Free Republic,Protest Warriors, Eagles Up and OpposeReid.com.
In opposition to this showing of support for America's soldiers will be a demonstration by a group naming themselves Act Now To Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER). They have a host of sponsors such as Cindy Sheehan, National Council of Arab Americans, Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, Iraq Veterans Against the War, International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal and many others.
Size matters as these groups deliver their message to the American people, elected representatives and the soldiers that are engaged in the war against terrorism. This gathering will no doubt receive nationwide press coverage and how it will be interpreted in the news is always interesting. The numbers of those involved will send a stronger message than the repetitive rhetoric is expressed by each side about this critical debate on the military and political course America will follow in the days ahead.
Every American has an opportunity to participate and physically add to the discourse about American involvement in Iraq. Hope those that can attend seize the day.

Help Us Stand
Still Think 9/15 is Just Public Relations?
By Kit Lange
The Muslim American Society will be in D.C. on 9/15 in full force. These people aren’t playing around.
It is imperative that we stand up to them and every other anti-American group that will be there on September 15th. Our troops and our nation can settle for no less than victory in Iraq and Afghanistan…and we as Eagles can settle for nothing less than victory on the home front.
We have fewer than forty days until GOE III, and our coordinators are working hard to overwhelm Washington, DC, with thousands of Eagles. We KNOW you are coming in unprecedented numbers, and we are bound and determined to make sure this event, which is crucial to the continuing support of our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, is an unqualified success.
Please send us your most generous contribution as soon as you can. You may donate through PayPal or by check made payable to GOE and sent to: GOE; Box 291; Chocowinity, NC 27817.
Marshals Needed
We are seeking volunteers for both the 9/10 and 9/15 events. If you are attending either, please let us know!
Get the GOE I DVD!
Copies are $15 for one, $12 for each additional copy. Shipping is $5. To order, make a donation for the total amount and then send us an email giving us an address and quantity.
Get the Official GOE T-Shirt! Designed by the Army veterans and fellow Eagles over at Ranger Up, these shirts are 100% made in the USA. Men's and Women's styles available. 20% of all proceeds go directly to GOE, so you'll be helping us continue our mission of countering the anti-American Left!
Once you have the T-shirt, make sure to find an event where you can wear it! Stop by our forum and meet other Eagles, read about what we stand for, and subscribe to our RSS feed.
Fallen But Never Forgotten
By Kit Lange
Kory Wiens and his dog Cooper are my desktop wallpaper, a reminder that teamwork, sacrifice, and service to country are paramount.
The first military working dog team killed in action together since the beginning of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were laid to rest together July 18.
Cpl. Kory D. Wiens, 20, of the 94th Mine Dog Detachment, 5th Engineer Battalion, 1st Engineer Brigade of Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., and his partner, Cooper, were killed July 6 by an improvised explosive device while on patrol in Muhammad Sath, Iraq. They had been in Iraq since January.
The cremated remains of Wiens and Cooper, a Labrador retriever, were buried together at Salt Creek Cemetery in Wiens’ hometown of Dallas, Ore., at the request of his family, said Master Sgt. Matt McHugh, the family’s casualty assistance officer.
“Kory referred to Cooper as his son, that’s now much of a team they were,” McHugh said.
Read the whole story.
It is men like these that we honor as Eagles. Let us never forget them, and never stop doing whatever needs to be done to see that they are treated as the heroes they are.

After-Action Report: 17 August 2007, 1800 Hours Washington, NC
By Kit Lange (A REAL FRUIT CAKE!)
The Moonbats assembled in Washington, NC sank to a new low yesterday. As usual their crowd was small but larger than the week before. The Eagles responded to the call of battle and once again we had to chase their coward asses down the street since they do not want to stand in front of us and defend ‘who the hell knows’ their position.
The City of Washington was putting on a “block party” of music, food and dancing for the young people of Washington. I dare say there were a good thousand plus of teens, parents and the citizens of the wonderful city of Washington in attendance.
And then came the ROLLING THUNDER of Jacksonville, NC Chapter on their beautiful bikes accompanied by wives and friends. They also had many lady riders as well. What a beautiful sight to hold. They cruised by with their flags flapping in the breeze, their stereos blaring the Marine Corp Hymn, Anchors A Weigh, Star Spangled Banner and many others songs.
The Moonbat Scumbags were absolutely blown away. They were mortified! They had the pangs of fear sweep through their bodies and I think one of them peed in their pants. After a couple of “gun runs”, er… passes!, they parked their beautiful steeds of steel and walked up to our position on the line in their full regalia and hats.
I started laughing when the Moonbats came together in a huddle and I heard one exclaimed “Holy Sh*t” they are coming up here to get us. I think I could speak for the whole crowd of Eagles saying how proud we were to be an Eagle and a Vietnam Vet and see these brothers and sisters coming up to join us at our battle line.
It was better than seeing the Cavalry save the day!Now for the sad part of the evening. This demonstrates the MoonBat Scumbags will resort to anything. Because they were vastly outgunned, they begin to grab young people and anyone who would listen to them to recruit them on the spot to counter the Eagles. They especially went after the young people. They put these young teens IN FRONT OF THEM TO PROTECT THEMSELVES….! Just like the NVA would put innocent children and women in the front lines knowing the Americans would not fire on innocents!
How damn low can you get. Now the sickening part!
Many of the young people rode by blew their horns in support of the Eagles. Some wandered across the street and were mobbed by the Moonbats to sign their petition. Of one group of teens (5 in number) were conned into holding up signs for the Moonbats; “TEENS FOR PEACE” and the real low one a young lady probably sixteen years old holding a sign “FU*K BUSH”. The other disgusting sign was shown by a young lad, maybe 18-20 “POT FOR PEACE.”
Most of the Eagles on the field last night are fathers, mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers. Imagine yourself recruiting children to stand in front lines to protect yourself and then display signs of filth and disrespect. These Moonbats have NO HONOR, NO RESPECT, NO LOVE OF CHILDREN AND NOTHING ELSE but their own personal greed and stupid, moronic code of hate.
I am more proud of being an Eagle than ever before. All of us out there should be proud. We will win! We will see the face of America change. Our fathers generation screwed it up and we are going to fix it. I cannot imagine how much our brothers on the Wall are proud of us. If we could see them for day, I think they would say, “Well Done”.
LOOK OUT MOONBATS. YOUR DAY OF RECKONING IS AT HAND!EAGLES UP, CLAWS OUT, INBOUND FOR THE PREY!

Eagles on Traveling Wall Escort Duty in Ohio
By Kit Lange
Contributed by Luke Patrino, GOE State Coordinator, Ohio
First, I want to thank all the law enforcement agencies that helped make the escort a safe ride for all who took part: The Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Wood and Henry Co. Sheriff’s Departments, and the Napoleon Police Department. A huge thank you to these public servants.
More then 600 motorcycles left Napoleon Harley Davidson and rode to North Baltimore, where we met hundreds more at The Wall. The 8 mile caravan traveled north on I-75 to Route 6. As soon as we turned west on Rt. 6 we started seeing people waving flags sitting in their front yards and cheering as we rode by. The 30 mile ride on 6 showed the true American Spirit here in the heartland. I had tears in my eyes as thousands cheered and waved at us riding by. Hundreds turned out as we passed through Weston and McClure. When we arrived in Napoleon our route through the city was lined with supporters.
All this on a Thursday morning and afternoon, I wonder if anyone went to work yesterday.

BACK TO OUR SIDES AND SOME ADDITIONAL IDEAS
Submitted by davidswanson on August 10, 2007 - 5:50am.
Activism - Protests
There is something else we can try. If you've given up on staging marches and rallies, or if – like me – you haven't but you want to try something else as well, and if you've given up on lobbying Congress as pointless, or if – like me – you haven't but you want to try something else as well, and if educating your fellow citizens as to exactly how completely corrupt the whole system is seems like an incomplete answer, and if staging a general strike or taking over the capital only seems like a good idea if you can get millions of others to join you, there is another approach that can be taken right away by a single person, a small group, or a crowd.
You can counter recruit, counter the corporate war profiteers, and counter the media. Talking to high school and college students and career counselors about the reality of the military, done at the smallest or largest scale, helps to deny the military the troops it needs to occupy foreign lands and kill. Of course, the military pushes back, raising the top age for recruits (now at 42), promising bigger bonuses (now at $50,000), and lowering various qualifications.
Ultimately, the military can push back by instituting a draft. But that could also lead to much greater resistance. Corporations profiting from the pretended "reconstruction" of Iraq, from the control of Iraq's oil, and from the use of weapons and mercenaries, can be protested and influenced. Bechtel chose to stop bidding on contracts in Iraq rather than endure further protest. And the media can be resisted through the creation and promotion of independent media, through criticism and protest, and through campaigns targeting advertisers.
A guide to engaging in these tactics and training others to do so is found in a new book called "Army of None: Strategies to Counter Military Recruitment, End War, and Build a Better World," by Aimee Allison and David Solnit: http://ww.couragetoresist.org/armyofnone They present this approach, as everyone on the left always presents their approach, as the only one of any use. I disagree. I think the various approaches work together.
I think the marching and lobbying help move the public to the point where more people will resist recruitment. I think countering recruitment helps recruit peace activists of all sorts. And I think that we have to model democratic behavior as part of defining a vision for the future, if nothing else. We have to publicly demand the behavior we want from our elected officials if only to deny them the argument that we never asked. And we have to envision a world in which one day citizens are able to influence politicians directly.
Most of "Army of None" is devoted to counter recruitment, and the book makes an ideal guide for anyone interested in that project. Among other things, it provides the basic facts about the usual lies recruiters tell. For one thing, most recruits won't actually get $50,000 or anything close to it. In fact, nothing a recruiter promises a recruit means anything at all, because every military contract includes these lines:
"Laws and regulations that govern military personnel may change without notice to me. Such changes may affect my status, pay allowances, benefits, and responsibilities as a member of the Armed Forces REGARDLESS of the provisions of this enlistment / re-enlistment document."
In other words, the rest of the contract means nothing, and only those two sentences and a signature actually matter. The rest, like much of what comes out of recruiters' mouths, is lies. The New York Times reported that one in five U.S. Army recruiters was under investigation in 2004 for offenses ranging from "threats and coercion to false promises that applicants would not be sent to Iraq."
In addition to educating potential recruits and assisting them in finding more positive career options, citizens can actively counter recruitment by protesting or impeding recruiting operations. One of the more creative ways to do this is for that dwindling portion of the population that is not qualified for recruitment to attempt to enlist. Raging Grannies and other groups of women have tied up recruiting stations and attracted attention by attempting to sign up, refusing to leave, and risking arrest. What are the raging grandfathers waiting for?
Although "Army of None" does not suggest it, I would recommend another tactic as well. Get to know the recruiters and offer to help them with their job. Take a stack of brochures and blank contracts from them. And whenever you encounter a pro-war demonstrator, offer to help them sign up. "Hey Hey What about you? You look under 42!" is a chant that has been known to silence the most obnoxious voices. The point is not, of course, to actually recruit anyone, but to expose the hypocrisy of war proponents and call attention to the question of exactly who is being recruited.
If you want to get involved in countering recruitment and in supporting members of the military who refuse to serve in illegal wars of aggression, go to http://www.couragetoresist.org
To get involved in this movement face-to-face, check out the following upcoming events:

Book Release and Project Kick-Off for "Army of None"August 30 in Oakland, Calif., 6:30 – 9:30 p.m.Club Oasis, 135 12th Street
Week of action in Washington, D.C.
September 15: March and massive die-in
September 16: truth in recruiting training and congressional lobbying training
September 17 National Truth in Recruiting Day
September 18 Congressional Challenge Dayhttp://grassrootsamerica4us.org
There is actually a major peace event planned for Washington, D.C., for just about every day in September. This has caused a lot of people great distress, judging from the Emails I get asking me to combine all the events into one day (as if I had some way to do that!), but I think the variety of the ongoing events may be advantageous. We'll try to keep track of them all here: http://afterdowningstreet.org/events

FYI here's a letter I'm sending around to Congressfolk, the media, and so-called "progressive" orgs like MoveOn who are just now putting their toes in the impeachment waters. Please use if you see fit. Blessings, thanks for all your dedication, and good luck to us all!Kim
http://groups.google.com/group/WeThePeopleLeadNow?hl=enI hope you know about the May 9 Presidential Executive Order
(http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html ) in which Bush declared that if there is a National Emergency (which he alone defines) he can take unchecked Unitary Executive Power.
Marjorie Cohn, law professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego and author of "Cowboy Republic" has written an article ( http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/23128/print) presaging the possibility that Bush/Cheney could use the May 9 Executive Order to actually suspend the 2008 elections indefinitely.
One wonders, have you connected these dots? Certainly no one could reasonably put this outrageous trick past an Administration that has on false premises (and to serve their own greed for power and money) created the ongoing bloody nightmare in Iraq and now want to attack Iran. If you can integrate this possibility (and please, for the sake of the country, try HARD to do so) you can mobilize your efforts around impeachment leading to indictment NOW. There's really no time to waste!
