I had the same idea. This is billed like some crappy convention. I’ve been to conventions in D.C. I was hoping for an event where all could come. This is clearly not a family event and not anything what was billed. This is a big disappointment.
I don’t want to be too harsh. I wish them well. While it does seem high, my problem isn’t with the $175. If I had the time I’d probably attend. But like most conservatives, I work and living in Texas, it’s going to be all I can do do break away for the march. I want to do it badly enough, though to drive 120 miles to DFW, take a plane to DC, stay overnight on the 11th, and fly back the morning of the 13th. I’m entirely willing to do that.
I really DO want to attend the march. I was at the local tea party and have been saying for some time that we need a big DC march to avoid being marginalized....so I’m all in for that. I wish more effort were being directed to that, though, getting people there, maybe organizing busses, etc., than a “convention.”

Not exactly a crappy convention as you’re claiming IMO.
The cost of the convention includes events with food/beverage Friday evening, breakfast buffet Saturday morning and dinner/speakers/entertainment Saturday night. On Sunday there will also be workshops for all Freepers to attend with drinks/food available. All at a 4-star hotel.
Quite a deal for the price considering what is included, Obviously you are entitled to your opinion but before you call this overpriced/crappy etc, I think you and everyone else who is reading your posts, should be aware of exactly what is included.
