Coalition blames Washington for targeting military members, families, survivors
Veterans have rallied against the federal government’s actions in Washington several times lately, including over the weekend when they carried barricades – some called them “barrycades” – over to the White House lawn where they dumped them.
So have bikers.
So have truckers.
But now, according to a report in the Army Times, a group representing about 5.5 million Americans – service members, veterans, retirees and their families – will be rallying on Tuesday.
It will happen, again, at the World War II Memorial, where members of Congress in recent days have helped take down barricades erected by the National Park Service to keep military veterans away from the open-air memorial that is in their honor.
The Army Times report said the rally will be “aimed at embarrassing Congress and the White House into action.”
It cites plans by the Military Coalition, which includes 33 different military and veterans organizations, to have a rally and news conference to call on Congress and the White House to make the decisions needed to get the government going.

I would love to see some shirts on those Vets and company that read "This is the last time we come unarmed"... If I had the financial means to attend these rallys I would be there with bells on. It's one of those decisions that boils down to "do I want to go to DC and spend tons of money getting there to support a great thing or do I want to pay my light bill and buy groceries this week for my family"...

DeleteAt the 2009 march on DC, one man had a similar sign.
