In 2003 the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic was the recipient of an unused booth at CPAC, thanks to the resourcefulness of Taxman and the generosity of the Weekly Standard, who wasn't going to use their booth. Our first "official presence" at CPAC was such a great success that D.C. Chapter members pooled their pennies and rented our own booth in 2004. And again we had a great time talking to CPAC attendees about our capital city activism, Free Republic's national activism and signing up new D.C. Chapter members.
It has been a great way to inform conservatives in our area (DC, MD, VA) and nationally about Freepers' activities in our nation's Capital (CPAC has a photo of our 2004 booth on their website).
So, for the third year running, the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic will have a booth at CPAC.
This year at CPAC we will be promoting our March 19th Support the Troops rally in DC, our 7th annual Freep of the White House Correspondents Association Dinner on April 30th, and we will also be informing people of how they can help in the upcoming battle over the judicial nominees.
And for those of you who haven't seen it yet, or who want to see it again, we will be hosting an encore presentation of Sauropod's Most Excellent Freeper Video, which debuted at the Free Republic W2 Ball in January.
If you're going to be at CPAC this year, please look us up!
Even if you are unable to attend CPAC, but are in the D.C. area and would like to meet your fellow Freepers, we'll be making announcements soon on when and where we will be having dinner gatherings; so watch for those announcements in the next day or so.

I'll be coming into Union Station at 5 Wednesday afternoon. Hope to see some Freepers. Is there a Wednesday Freeper get together planned???
bttt
This will be my 21st CPAC. Hard to believe. I look forward to it as always. I hope to meet some of you. I'll be arriving Wednesday and staying at the Marriott, though I can't really afford it. ;)
If you all are getting together Wed. night and don't mind if I join you, let me know. Thanks.
Bump!
ping received!
Thanks for the ping.
See you there!
Chapter banner is safe and ready for duty, btw.
Kristinn is looking for a nearby gathering place that can accomodate all of the Freepers in attendance at CPAC and their budgets. It's a tall order, but there must be a place like that nearby... Kristinn?
And BTTT for a command performance of 'Pod's W2 Ball video, at CPAC.
It will be good to see you again, CD.

I'll see y'all Wednesday evening. I'm hitting town tomorrow at 6, but have meetings all day on Wednesday. They end at 4 and then I'll be heading over...
Hope to see you at CPAC -- I'll be popping in and out though because I don't have enough leave earned to take off. My office is only a couple of blocks away.
I'm gonna miss y'all this year at CPAC - I had to make a choice, and I chose the W2 Ball.
I can't wait to read all the threads of the happenenings and see all the great pix!!!!
Good luck to you all manning the booths. Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I'll be a willing volunteer in 2006.
See you soon, EV!
