March 19, 2005, 9:30am: The New York City Chapter of Protest Warrior is staging a counter protest event on March 19th. The Protest Warriors in coalition with many other Pro-American groups, including the Free Muslims, are planning a counter protest to the International Action Center’s March 19th anti-war protest here in New York City. These left wing groups are peddling the same stale message about America trying to take over the world. The problem is: these groups have all been taken over by Communists, Socialists and Anarchists. The message is no longer a pure anti-war message. We are asking all people that love this country and support our current foreign policy to join us on March 19th to counter these ignorant masses on their day of protest. It is time for us all to stand up and protest them. Protest Warrior leadership is asking that you bring an American Flag umbrella, for a secret plan, or
anything that displays something Pro-American, Pro-Bush, Pro-Real Islam or Pro-Iraq. Exact details as to the action are being withheld for security
purposes. This will be the March Surprise for the left and their message of hate. Meet the Protest Warriors and their allies on the corner of 96th and Central Park West at the All Saint’s Gate to Central Park. They are meeting from 0900 to 1000 for a morning briefing on the days planned activities. You can contact the NYC Chapter
leader of Protest Warrior at anytime with your questions. His name is Jason and his email is jason74ps@yahoo.com. You can also go to www.protestwarrior.com to view some of their past videos and to join their mailing list under the HQ button on the main page of the site. Look for the New York City Chapter when registering to make sure you get on the proper mailing list.
