It took you THAT LONG to find those pics?

*sigh*

I’m stealing them. ;)

[Syncro]

No, I have a life.

LOL, just kidding.

Wait, I do have a life.

I think.

Let me go check.

Meanwhile, let's just consider this a bump to a great event thread!

[Mojave]

Wish I could have been there. Thanks for the heads up.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I don't have a life...but I can bump this great thread too!

:)

[trooprally]

You all are welcome from the Stop the Porkulus Bill FReepers. T

[Guenevere]

So can I.

Thanks to you all, Bless you!

[HollyB]

Thanks TR, you all had quite a day. Thanks so much for going out there, representating FR, and being a voice for us. As always, we appreciate you being faithful to the cause and for the report.

Glad a lil’ global warming came your way ; ) Looking forward to more of it.

We wish we could have been there longer! I’m happy my son and DIL feel the need to make their voices heard!

We come from a tradition of “activists” .. always conservative...

We purposely went in memory of my parents who passed away this past year - they were the ones who brought me to Free Republic many years ago .. They participated a few times in large freeps ... driving from to Washington from Chicago .. dismayed at the Clinton presidency.

I knew they would be disgusted at this Porkulus .. and felt we needed to go and put our faces with our voices.

Thanks for letting us join you!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Awesome!

[Just A Nobody]

Found it! ;*)

[Just A Nobody]

It was great to meet you and your family!

God Bless you for honoring your parents in this way. I'm sure they are smiling down on y'all.

[smokingfrog]

Ha! Thanks for the ping.
Slay the Beast!

Looks like the beast won this time.

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks for the great signs and the AAR.

...was especially argumentive to the person who said we should be a socialist society.

Hmmmm, argumentative? He saw my sign and said; "That is exactly what we need, socialism."
I said you're kidding, right? His reply; "No, we need socialism in this country."

I then called him a damn commie and told him to go to Cuba or N. Korea and get the hell out of my country!

See...no arguments. ;*)

[trooprally]

Yep, the warmer weather was better than the last several weeks. But this Saturday sounds like a day to stay in bed. Speaking of Olney, looking forward to seeing you again in Olney when your work schedule allows it.

"Thanks for letting us join you!"

The pleasure was the D.C. Chapters. We need all the help we can inside the beltway. Your parents sound like some great people. Did they have a screen name? [Mr] T

[trooprally]

I stand duly corrected. Should have used something like "properly stated" instead of argumentive. :-))

[Mr] T

[pamlet]

It was great meeting you too! You keep it up! You’re doing great things...

[pamlet]

The weird thing is we can’t find a screenname anywhere - they never did talk of posting ... But I know YEARS ago they did sign in because of the way the pages acted ..

They were great people - they instilled conservative values in us .. they lived their lives by example .. (Though when I really acted out my father would tell me to “Do what I say not do what I do” ... hahahahaha)

Daddy had been in the Navy in WWII - at the very end - he was YOUNG .. Mom went to radio school at Wright Patterson .. They taught us to love our nation - and stand up for what is right..

We miss them ..

"properly stated" instead of argumentive

Exactly! ROTFLOL!!!

[Just A Nobody]

There is certainly a great deal to do and I believe the need to take to the streets will grow greatly over the next few years.

BTW, if you would FRmail the names of your folks, Jim wants to try and find their screen names.
