My order of 500 FreeRepublic cards came in this past Monday. Will be sure to have plenty to pass around at public events! Got a good deal on the cards too! :)
My hubby and I decided to spend about 9-10 days in DC and celebrate our 30th anniversary there too. It’s not till September 29th but close enough! We’re flying in from Arizona so if the budget’s gonna take a hit, might as well make it memorable!
My hubby, SirKit is excited about this! I’ll Freepmail you with our info!

What a great way to celebrate an anniversary! Our date is August 29th, so actually hubby and I will call our stay in DC our anniversary gift too! He will like that idea! He won't have to take me out to dinner on August 29th! :) Looking forward to meeting you in DC! Jean in St.Pete, FL
“Woo Hoo! I get to go! Any other Neborg (Nebraska) Freepers going? Can we compare flight times? Can we car pool?”
Hi Vor Lady! Post your message above on your Nebraska State Free Republic Forum. Other Freepers in Nebraska will Freepmail you if they are going and you can make plans to meet and perhaps car pool. Here is the link to your State Forum, just in case you don’t have it bookmarked. If you need help registering on your state FR forum, just Freepmail me and I will send you easy directions. :)

“I hope none of them are politicians or folks who wish to represent themselves as leaders of this thing.”
No, there will not be any politicians speaking! :)
Hildy, I’m not familiar with the July 4 march on Washington you’re referring to, but if I might pipe in as a ‘local’ to DC ... any march set for DC on 7/4 is worthless. The national holiday is perhaps the biggest event of the year on the Mall .. bigger than Obama’s inaugural, even. Any organized protest would be totally lost in that crowd.
And, I am not sure the Park Service would grant a permit for a march on that date or those surrounding it .. the whole mall, from the Lincoln to the Capitol is one big national party to celebration the Fourth.
Be sure to FReepmail Brytani if you are planning on joining us in the Convention events! Thanks!
What’s the count up to now?????
BTTT

My husband and I will definitely be coming, barring any major unforeseen family crisis.
What about the “Push Back Until” event on 9/11? http://pushbackuntil.com. That (and subsequent events over the next few years) is how we will get Congress’ attention!
The article says this is open to Freepers and their families. Have yo dropped that yet? and if not how will such a mandate be enforced. We are talking hopefully about one hell of a lot of people and the mall is a public place.
I’m local, would like info.
Hi BP,
Here’s the thread talking about the convoy:
http://www.centralvalleyteaparty.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=251
Since we have Freedom Ralliers coming down from Merced, we want to coordinate our convoy with theirs. Melissa Courtney is coordinating it and will post more details shortly. Apparently the plan is to wait near an onramp on the 99 and merge into the traffic when they arrive.
Well, I should have read the thread title. The convoy is taking place on July 4 and headed south along Highway 99 in the Central Valley of California to the Freedom Rally taking place that morning. Disregard my previous post.
I’m marking my calendar.
