THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

(Theme song for post: This Land is Your Land and Battle Hymn of the Republic)

..........this land is my land. Let’s fight to preserve for our children and grandchildren the America we know and love. Do what you can to make your voice heard. Email, phone and snail mail members of Congress and the Senate. There are still some townhall meetings taking place later this month (unless some of the yellowbellies are too chicken to hold them). Here’s the link to check out your state.


If you are free September 10-13, please join your Prez and thousands from across the nation for the 9.12.09 March on DC. As of this date, GASP will be represented in Washington by seven members from three states. We are staying at the Marriott Metro Center which has special rates for those attending the event. More information can be found HERE.

Our group ranges in age from 40-67. We are your typical right-wing terrorist, fake anger, mob types. The two men are both former Air Force officers: one is now a Delta pilot and the other is a retired American Airlines pilot. One of the women is a retired small business owner and grandmother, two are housewives and grandmothers and two are Gen Xers.

One thing we have in common is that we have never done anything like this before. Believe me, no special interest group or political party is paying our way to Washington. We are going because we are fed up with the our representation (or lack there of) in DC and we are “taking it to the street.” Don’t they get it up there? This is a real protest by average, Joe the Plumber Americans.

If you show up in Washington, look for your Prez, sans her Brooks Brothers suit. This T-shirt will be my rally attire. I’ll be the one wearing this nameplate on a chain around my neck so fellow mob members can find me. I will have the Blog Manager/Editor/Secretary of State/Grunt on speed dial in case we....gasp....get hauled off to jail. She may be contacting you for bail money for the seven of us.

Do you remember the revised version of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” that I wrote for the 4th of July? I believe it should be the official marching song for this rally.......especially the last verse. What do you think?


OUR NEW BATTLE CRY

MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THE FOLLY OF THE ONE WHO THINKS HE’S LORD,
HE IS TRAMPLING OUT THE COFFERS WHERE OUR WEALTH AND PRIDE ARE STORED.
HE HATH LOOSED THE FATEFUL LIGHTNING OF HIS SMOOTH DECEITFUL TONGUE.
HIS SCHEME IS MARCHING ON.

SADLY, SADLY WE ARE CHANGING,
SADLY, SADLY WE ARE CHANGING,
SADLY, SADLY WE ARE CHANGING,
HIS SCHEME IS MARCHING ON.

I HAVE SEEN HIM IN THE GAZES OF THOSE LARGE ADORING THRONGS.
THEY HAVE BUILDED HIM AN ALTAR WHERE HE CARRIES OUT HIS WRONGS.
I HAVE SEEN HIS POMPOUS ACTIONS CONTRADICT HIS SPOKEN WORD.
HIS GREED IS MARCHING ON.

CHORUS

WE ARE SOUNDING FORTH THE TRUMPET THAT WE NEVER SHALL RETREAT.
WE WILL GATHER UP IN MASSES AND WILL MARCH FOR HIS DEFEAT.
BE STRONG OUR SOULS TO PERSEVERE, TO TAKE IT TO THE STREET.
OUR WILL IS MARCHING ON
.


Please join us in Washington D.C. for the march on September 12.

Our Blog Manager is a genius! She just called and told me how to sign in as "The Prez." Now I don't have to look stupid! (The above deleted comment was her testing how I can do it. I can't use my own google account to sign in.) This blog could NOT BE DONE WITHOUT HER!
