RSSA Mother’s Birthday Gift to Her Son
Families United | December 22, 2007
Bev Perlson wanted to give her son a special gift for his birthday – He is in Afghanistan. She decided to show him how much she supported his mission – defending and protecting America. Bev decided to take a stand in front of the Cannon Office building that houses Rep. Nancy Pelosi. Bev chose to play patriotic music and carry signs that say “I’m proud of my son” and “Fund the Troops”. Bev arranged for a permit for the corner and during the week of December 10- 14 and from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm she proudly showed her colors each day! Families United board members stopped by on Tuesday and Wednesday and stood beside her. We were honored to sing Happy Birthday to John!
(Note – no media attention was given!)
Below are Bev’s Action Reports for the event. The links take you to the website where photos will be displayed as they are received.
Plan of Action:
I will start Nancy’s day every morning with bugles, revelie, and I will bombard them with patriotic music all day long. My son over in Afghanistan said “give ‘em hell ma!” “they are gambling with our lives!!!” I intend to make her as uncomfortable as she is making our Soldiers for one whole week!
Action Report from The Cannon Bldg, Outside Pelosi’s Office in Washington DC
Before I begin Day Three at my post on the corner of Independence and New Jersey Avenue, better known as the Cannon Bldg where Nancy Pelosi reportedly works (she just never seems to be there!) I thought I should report on our progress:
First things first: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY VERY BRAVE SON JOHNNY! Please have a safe day Johnny and God Watch Over You Until He brings you back to us! Next year this time, there will be the biggest party on the south side of Chicago, unlike any before, and we will celebrate your birthday in true Chicago fashion!!! Stay safe my Very Brave Son and know we LOVE YOU AND ARE SO DARN PROUD OF YOU!
On Monday, December 10th, we began our vigil outside Madame Pelosi’s office. I say WE because I have had the distinct honor of being in the company of Mary and Joe, a wonderful couple who came with me from Chicago. Their very brave son has served in our military and Joe is a Veteran and Patriot Guard Rider in Chicago. They are true Patriots who do not just talk the talk, they walk the walk, and walk we have done! We report to our post outside Madame Pelosi’s office at 9am sharp! We begin our duty with the bugle call known by Soldiers worldwide, “Revelie.” How fitting and what a boisterous way to let the Speaker know we are on duty! Monday was quite a day as we were visited by the court jes ters of Washington, Code Pink! In their usual idiotic attire they spouted their usual incomprehensible nonsensical garbage but little did they know who they were fooling with! Obviously they never heard that song about Bad Bad LeRoy Brown from the southside of Chicago! Folks from our part of the country DO NOT tolerate idiots very well nor for very long! Until the day I die, I will NEVER forget watching Joe, a Veteran and Proud American, chase the goofball Pinkos down the street with our megaphone in hand. They ran like the cowards they are. By the way, did I happen to mention Joe is about 6’5″ of pure Chicago guts and glory. It was a sight that the Capitol Police did not interrupt as they were enjoying it as much as we were! They only came back later to feed the poor fellow they le ave out on this corner all the time. They brought this misguided miscreant a paper plate with his daily ration of green stuff that I guarantee you even my dogs would turn away. The portion was about as big as my fist, and I have small hands! I guess old George Soros doesn’t believe in spending his billions feeding his poorly equipped army of misfits. He obviously doesn’t believe in equipping his court jesters with clean clothes either. I have seen homeless folks in Chicago with cleaner clothes and appearance than this group!
Monday went extremely well with cars honking and well wishers with thumbs up passing by. Also had many tourists from foreign countries asking if they could take our picture and wishing us well. Students from California interviewed Joe with many good questions about why we were out there and what we stood for. His answers were the BEST! He talked about America, freedom and liberty and he reminded them that 9/11 happened because the warnings from the terrorists were ignored prior to 9/11. Americans paid a terrible price and our country changed forever on that horrible day. Joe and Mary were the Heroes of the day! As Joe chased, Mary got his backside! The y are a dynamic duo and I love these great Chicago folks.
Tuesday was even better and more eventful than Monday. The court jesters did not show up but we later found out why. We were asked to assist in the delivery of 65,000 signatures from Americans who are calling on lawmakers to resist calls for a premature withdrawal from Iraq as the fight for a year-end spending bill heats up. A great Irishmen and Navy Chief, Patrick McCarthy of The Gathering of Eagles, replaced us at our post and covered the corner while we delivered these precious petitions. Megan of Freedoms Watch led the brigade that consisted of one of my Heroes, Merrilee Carlson , a Gold Star Mother and fearless leader of Families United For Our T roops and Their Mission and her husband. God Bless them for their never ending efforts on behalf of our Soldiers and our country. Also in the entourage were Matt James, a wounded Iraq war veteran and recipient of the Purple Heart and Bronze Star, LTCOL Bob Stephenson USMC and his wife and retired Marine Corps W-4, Kevin Dunaway his wife Kathy, Joe and his very lovely wife Mary and myself. What a respectable entourage we made! First stop was Mitch McConnell’s office where lo and behold, guess who was sitting (literally on the floor!) and all over? If you guessed the Code Pinkos you get the prize of the day. It was a disgusting collection of dirty people lounging all over this office and I nominate that poor girl who mans his office as the Hero of Tuesday! The petitions were successfully delivered to the offices of Congressmen Boehner and Pelosi, and Senators McConnell, Reid and McCain.
Stay tuned folks. I will finish this update later. Got to get ready to man the post this morning. Mary and Joe must return to Chicago today (good luck with your flight guys and if you can’t get back,you know where to find me!) Today I will have the honor of serving with Capt. Larry Bailey, Chairman of the Gathering of Eagles, along with another Hero of mine, Chris Hill, National Director of The Gathering of Eagles. Code Pink better look out today as these fellows are as tough as Joe!
Stay tuned…

Wednesday Report:
Wednesday was another great day. So many Congressman have come out to thank us for being there. Special thanks to Capt. Larry Bailey, Chris Hill (who came out in full dress regimental kilt and he looked AWESOME!!!) and Katie O’Malley of The Gathering of Eagles, Melanie Morgan of Move America Forward, who Seriously Confronted Code Pinkos today!!! (Thank you Melanie and that makes her the Hero of this day and Joe, you can relax!), and Merrilee Carlson and the great folks from Families United For Our Troops and Their Mission. Also, special thanks to the very nice patriotic man from Pakistan who held a sign in support of our soldiers all morning!! That’s all for now, got to get ready to get to my post!
