The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us this Saturday afternoon outside Kerry headquarters in D.C. as we call for the release of the videotape of the Kerry campaign's "Heart and Soul of America" Radio City Music Hall fundraiser.
Free cans of Slim-Fast will be given way to passersby (not Kerry workers) as our way of saying thanks to Slim-Fast for firing Whoopi Goldberg as their spokesman after her disgraceful performance at the fundraiser.
When: Saturday, July 17, 2004 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Where: The sidewalk in front of 901 15th Street, NW, Washington, D.C.
Bring: Signs bearing messages calling for the release of the videotape and comments on the tenor of the fundraiser.
We have obtained a permit for this demonstration from the D.C. police.
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
HRC in Whoopi glasses...
Heheh...that one gets my vote!
Nice tagline. You all have fun and say howdy to the lefties for me.
I just recieved my reply from Slim Fast, they don't want to get involved in Whoopigate!
Man you guys rock. The August 2001 Freep I attended with you guys was SUCh a blast I wish I could do it all over again!
Stay safe!
Respectfully request full after action report accompanied by photographs. Thank you. GREAT JOB!
TaxRelief has been walking about 6 inches above the ground since reading about Slimfast's decision on Whoopi in the hotel copy of USA Today this morning!
See y'all on Saturday!
Woot! I had such a great time yelling "Get out of Cheney's House!"
See ya there!
It's a good thing ... :)
One of my major reasons for regretting my move from Washington to the mountains of North Carolina is being 11 hours away from the folks and events of the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic. There are a lot of positives -- better weather, no more drinking and smoking all night in assorted bars, etc. But the lack of FR is pressing.
Nail 'em good. And, I'll have a deservedly kind word for Slim-Fast in my next column.

What is going on with the stalwarts of the DC Chapter? Another demonstration of optimism?
2004 the year of the wedding. Who'd a thunk it?
Will you all be appearing on the newly wed game? Guess will have to party like it's 1999. --- CONGRATULATIONS!
Rather than responding with stubbornness and criticizing the boycotters (like a leftist organization would), Unilever responded the way they should have, by firing Fugly Whoopi.
I still don't see what the hell they were thinking having that troll as a spokesperson, anyway.
I believe an Ozz Fest is happening in N. Va.
July 18 Bristow, VA Nissan Pavilion
BTTT for Whoopigate ...
Believe the Ozster was part of the Kerry RCMH festivities as well. Does that mean it's a twofer?
Good reason! We'll drink a Slimfast toast to you and the future Mrs. BMWcycle!
I look forward to the announcement thread.
bmw --- does your 'soon-to-be-better-half' know of this side of your life???? (BTW - congrats!!)
"Heart and Soul of America": Free the tape, bump
HEY WHOOPIE
It's grassroots, stupid!
And we are EXTREMEly contagious.
