Attn FReepers: The Free Republic Inaugural Ball has been cancelled.

Free Republic | Inaugural Eve, in the year of the Grate ObaMassiah 2009 | Jim Robinson

Sadly, the 3rd Quad-Annual Quadrennial Free Republic Inaugural Ball in DC has been cancelled due to lack of interest. There will be no refunds (seeing as how no tickets were sold - and none offered).

However, now is the time to begin planning a conservative offensive movement.

How many of you would like to attend a two day conference symposium, er "FReepmeet" regarding taking back our country? It's been suggested that if we do this, it should be held in a central location or airline hub like Denver or Dallas so a maximum number of FReepers can attend.

If not us, who? If not now, when?

Please post your ideas to the thread.

That is all.

I think, as usual, you are spot on. I’d be interested in hearing many ideas as well.

[Amityschild]

LOL! I’m in for Dallas! Thanks for the grin, Jim!

[Tax-chick]

I’d like to thank you for cancelling the ball. I’m five months pregnant, and I’d have looked like an eggplant.

[Dacula]

Count me in! I can not stand by and watch our country go to pot.

I think a meet and greet and SHOOT holiday would be just what the doctor ordered. Say a bunch of hardcore conservatives on the firing lines around April 15th??

[Eye of Unk]

Jim prepare this same discussion at our alternate sites, thanks.

[Pantera]

I vote for Dallas. If so, I’m in.

[freeangel]

Good idea!

Ya’ll check into the Southern National Congress. It’s already been done imo and their first meeting was back in December.

I am not a member and for personal reasons doubt I will become one, but there you have it.

So how long did Salvador Allende have before the good guys took over?

[Marechal]

It is a good idea in concept. What is worrisome to me, frankly speaking, is that under this new Administration, federal (and possibly local) law enforcement will again be heavily politicized. (Recall the halcyon days of the Clinton Administration.) As such, an FR gathering would enable politically zealous LEA officials to very easily gather names and collect information on and about the attendees.

Perhaps some would call me paranoid, but I would not attend based on the foregoing.

[Jim Robinson]

Woo hoo! Congratulations! And you would have been the loveliest eggplant at the ball.

[randomhero97]

How about St. Louis?

[netmilsmom]

If there is camping nearby and a bit of notice so Netmilsdad can take the time off work, we’re there.

[nanetteclaret]

If it’s in Dallas, I’ll be there!

[reagan_fanatic]

I could make Chicago, Jim. I’d love to go.

[NYTexan]

If input about the location is wanted...I vote Dallas.

[GoCards]

Dallas would be great!!!

Question? Why the lack of interest I wonder?
