REMINDER: "Tomorrow We March for Liberty! Message from Liberty Belle"

A reminder for Freedom-lovers in the Seattle Area that tomorrow is the big rally in Westlake Park for Socialized medicine, and the (hopefully bigger) counter rally across the street.
The Seattle Sons & Daughters of Liberty: A Seattle Action Network
Tomorrow We March Against Socialized Medicine:

What You Need to Know

In this email: Location/Time, What to Bring, Sign Ideas, Safety, and Theme Ideas.

Location/Time
* We are meeting across Pine St. from Westlake Park. This is the north side of Pine, in between 4th and 5th Avenue. Our opposition has the permit for the park which is why we will congregate across the street from them. We will begin to meet at about 1:00 p.m. so that we are there before they arrive - a welcome wagon of sorts... Map here.

What to Bring

* Signs (I have listed some ideas and suggestions below)
* Something to sit on if you need it - we may be there for approximately three hours
* Something to eat and drink, i.e. energy bars and water because again, we may be there for a few hours

Sign Ideas

1. Less Government is the Answer
2. Single Payer is Single Worst Solution
3. Health Care is Expensive BECAUSE of the Government!
4. Doctor's Chains You Can Believe In
5. Socialized Medicine - the False Hope
6. Support Sustainable Options!
7. Left Turn - Wrong Way
8. Tax Increase Not the Answer
9. Free Market Options
10. We Support Better Solutions
11. Health Care is Not a Right
12. < /serfdom >*
13. The road to serfdom is well paved for your safety
14. My Body, My Choice!
15. Keep healthcare between me and my doctor
16. Healthcare is a private issue
17. The fed couldn't manage its way out of a *casket*
18. Free Choice in Medicine
19. A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have. - Thomas Jefferson
20. What the they pay for, they own.
21. What happens when they pay for your body?
22. No Bureaucrats in My Body
23. Don't Let Govt Hands Infect Our Health Care
24. U.S. Economy Already on Life Support
25. Portability Yes, Socialization No
26. Ask a Veteran: Are You Happy With Govt Health Care?
27. National Markets for Health Insurance

29. Medicare for All = Death of America
30. If Govt Run Health Care Is So Cheap, Why Is Medicare So Expensive?
31. Ask Jim McDermott about his elitist medical care
32. Ask Patty Murray about her elitist medical care

Safety
I have personally spoken with the Seattle Police Department and my contact there has assured me that we are welcome to show our opposition and that they are prepared to handle the volume of people expected. I obviously cannot guarantee that nothing will happen, but I feel very confident that the day will run smoothly. If anyone from the opposition tries to engage you, simply ignore them, walk away, hand them a flyer (we will have some to hand out), or find a police officer. DO NOT ENGAGE THEM BACK. We are better than that.

Theme Ideas
IF you are interested, you can dress up in either typical "funeral" attire (dark and formal), or you can dress up like a doctor or a nurse in chains. Otherwise just dress as usual! We have at least a couple of bagpipers to help us along! We plan on singing Amazing Grace and the National Anthem. You can find the words to Amazing Grace here.

Please use today as a final push for this. We need as many bodies as we can get!! Please help us stop the horrific monstrosity that is rationed, poor quality, socialized medicine. Once this is let out of the cage, you know we will never be able to put it back. The fight is here and the fight is now. Will you face it with us?

In Liberty, always and forever,

Liberty Belle

Again, Mrs. Drang and I have a prior commitment to be elsewhere. **

And, again, my short bout with using the VA as my "health care" "provider" convinced me that the HMO system is less than ideal, but it beats the snot out of Communism. (I've had co-workers who were also retired military and made that mistake, and it almost cost them their lives.)


*For those off you who have never "messed around" with computer languages, this means "end serfdom."
**In fact, it seems the we will be the primary instructors of the the class that we were supporting to complete our re-certification. Our commitment ends at 1 PM or thereabouts, so it is possible that we can make it afterwards, but I doubt it.
