All FReepers and lurkers in good standing are invited to join Jim Robinson and the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com in Washington, D.C. this September to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Free Republic.
The celebration will be held as part of Support the Troops and Their Mission Weekend, September 22-23, which will feature a rally at the Washington Monument.
The rally will be held Saturday, September 23rd from noon to 3 p.m. at the Sylvan Theater on the grounds of the Washington Monument, 15th Street and Independence Avenue, SW. (NOTE: Slightly different location than previously announced.
After the rally, a private party for Freepers and honored guests will be held in the evening, details TBA.
The day before, Friday, September 22nd, we will gather at the main gate to Walter Reed Army Medical Center from 6:30 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. for our regular support the troops demonstration. The main gate is located at 7200 Georgia Avenue, NW at Elder Street, NW.
Earlier on Friday, we hope to organize groups to visit Congress to inform our Senators and Representatives of our support for the war on terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, and to urge them to stay the course.
Co-sponsors of Support the Troops and Their Mission Weekend include Right March, Protest Warrior chapters, Military Families Voice of Victory and the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com.
We are working on establishing a central Web site for the weekend. It should be ready this week. We are also inviting speakers and should be able to start announcing confirmations after Labor Day.
We are still looking for help to pay for the rally. If you'd like to contribute, please click the donate button at this link.
Hope to see you there!

I'm hoping to be there for Friday at WRAMC and the Saturday rally, staying over until Sunday PM. I'm talking up the rally to a few non-Freepers up here as well. Looking forward to it!
"I can just see me walking around D.C. with the name tag "YaYa123". And you did it. That was for the March for Juitice.
You and Dale are two of the best, ever.
Sorry General.

I remember hearing Rush mention The Drudge Report, so I went to it religiously and I kept seeing "Whitewater" and one day I hit it BAM!!!!! That had to be 8 years ago...maybe more. My original number is low 3 digits..... And the world have NEVER been the same for me!!! Sometimes I think I was a little happier when I didn't know so much of what was going on!!! :)
Seriously, FreRepublic, Jim Robinson, has changed the media and the public. Thanks Jim!!
I'll be there!!!!
Greetings from Texas!!!
For those who have never been to the Friday Walter Reed Freep, please try to get there, you will enjoy yourself immensely.
The DC Chapter has a great bunch of folks that you will enjoy meeting.
