CARSON CITY PROTEST EVENT AGAINST HARRY REID ADDED
Pro-Troop Organization to Hold “Surrender is Not an Option” Protests Against Harry Reid in Carson City & Las Vegas
In response to the efforts by Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to undercut support for the missions of our troops in Iraq, pro-troop supporters will be conducting protests outside the district offices of Harry Reid & Nancy Pelosi on Thursday, May 17, 2007 at 10:30 AM Pacific Time.
A protest against Senator Harry Reid will take place outside of Reid’s district offices in Carson City & Las Vegas. The Carson City protest has been added in response to the wishes of local grassroots activists who are furious with Reid’s efforts to cut funding for our troops serving in Iraq and his recent declaration that, “the war is lost.”
Local grassroots activist, Eric Odom, will be heading up the newly added Carson City event.
The protests are being organized by Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org), the nation’s largest grass-roots, pro-troop organization and will be called “Surrender is Not an Option.” The protests will include picketers carrying white “surrender flags” to mock the defeatist approach offered by Reid & Pelosi.
“The anti-war movement and their leaders in Congress have gotten too far ahead of themselves and they are now going to experience the backlash from the American people. If these anti-war advocates won’t stand behind our troops then maybe they should stand in front of them on the frontlines in Iraq and Afghanistan,” said Melanie Morgan, Chairman of Move America Forward.
On Thursday May 17th at 10:30 AM, Move America Forward will be holding “Surrender Is Not an Option” rallies at the offices of speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid. The Grassroots organization is asking that its members bring white “surrender flags” to show their displeasure with Reid and Pelosi.
The protests against Harry Reid will take place outside of his offices at these locations:
LAS VEGAS
333 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Suite 8016, Las Vegas, NV 89101
CARSON CITY
600 East William St, #302, Carson City, NV 89701
“We’re not going to sit back any longer and allow politicians and anti-war groups to undercut our troops, we’re starting to fight back,” said Melanie Morgan.
The provocative campaign is funded by small donor contributions from tens of thousands of Move America Forward members around the country. For more information please visit www.MoveAmericaForward.OrgCan we say HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH????!!!!???
