Woo hoo!! We'll be taking the Tea Party Express to DC where we'll join with hundreds of thousands of outraged Americans raising holy hell against the wannabe fascist tinpot dictator, B. Hussein Obama!!
It's our intention to step up the intensity level of the Tea Party movement a few decibels! Obama is now attempting to RULE over America without even seeking oversight or approval of the U.S. Congress or the consent of We the People! This cannot be allowed to stand! America is a constitutional republic NOT a dictatorship!
It is our solemn constitutional duty as free AMERICANS to secure the Blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our posterity! Every generation of Americans preceding us have done so. Prior generations have fought bloody wars against enemies foreign and domestic defending our God-given rights to live FREE! Many of us are veterans who have sworn an oath to defend our constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. An oath is forever!
Semper Fi!
Hope to see you there!
By the way, if you plan to attend our Freeper Convention while you're in DC, please order your tickets early. We have a schedule of deposits we have to make to secure our facilities. The first deposit of $10,000 is due July first. Click the link above to order your tickets via our secure server.
If you have an organization that would like to sponsor one or more tables at our banquet or help us raise funds for speakers at our event, please email me for reciprocal promotional opportunities: jimrob@psnw.com
Thanks for the ping Amy. Wishing good luck to all who go.
They will be having too much fun!
Pinging Fresno Area FReepers to our FR Convention in DC. Hope to see several of you there!!
May I ask because I’m curious....why the rally in Canton (Ohio) and not Cleveland or Columbus instead?
If you are registered on your Ohio FR forum it gives you the opportunity to meet up with other Freepers in your area. That is a great way to organize and get an event planned. Also the best place to let other Ohio Freepers know about things going on in Ohio.
Perhaps you think I live in Ohio because I send out information to Freepers everywhere. My goal is to see EVERY Freeper registered on their particular State FR Forum! It is the best way for Freepers in every state to organize and get information out to each other. Being registered on one's state FR forum will be so important in order to work together and make a difference in upcoming elections.
Hope to meet you in DC in September! Jean St.Pete,FL
Ironic that he chose a WAFFLE cone.
Thank you...I agree and I am registered for the Ohio forum ;)
But, in your post 22 you provided a link to a tour schedule. When I went to the link as you suggested, there was a list of sites for national rallies along the tour. The one in Ohio is in Canton. I just wondered if you knew why that city?
Perhaps those organizing the various stops had problems finding a venue for the rallies so they chose cities that could provide the venue needed. I also heard that folks will be joining the caravan at various stops to travel with the caravan from that particular stop, on to DC. :) Jean

Saturday afternoon bump from the left coast.
Sunday afternoon Bump.
Granted, I do not believe for one minute all Obama's votes were legitimate and it will get worse as ACORN & Co. swing into high gear but still, we have to have the people on our side.
There probably is a psychological effect of the twits that voted Obama and hopefully, it will have a cumulative effect.
A great time was had by all who attended the Sarasota TailGate Tea Party today! Great crowd and great speakers!
Now folks are putting their sites on various events for July 4th and then on to DC for the National Tea Party and Freeper Convention on 9/12!
BOOK YOUR ROOM AND GET YOUR CONVENTION TICKETS NOW, FREEPERS!
WHERE ARE ALL THE FREEPERS?
There were over 200 FREEPERS who said they were going to book a room at the Sheraton Hotel at our great group rate.
There were over 300 FREEPERS who said they were going to come to Washington, DC for the National Tea Party and they were going to come to our National Freeper Convention!
JUST ASKING, WHERE ARE ALL THOSE FREEPERS?

I'll make you a promise right now, if you refuse to leave the area after the permit has expired and do a sit-in and make a REAL stand, I will pay the bail for 20 of your group. If the fines aren't too large, I may pay that, also.
Make a real point, shipmate. Passive demonstrations WILL NOT WORK any longer, especially with this bunch in Congress and the Oval Office. Remember, how such liberal sit-ins worked to kill the war effort in Viet Nam, even when General Giap said we were winning? The sit-ins; the demonstrations; the riots (not that I'm advocating that!), ALL had a huge impact in us losing the War. And think about the publicity for our cause.
I give you my Word of Honor, that I would bail you out (you know who has my number - I would do it ASAP).
No, I can't get there or I would lead such a thing with handcuffs in tow. And no, there is nothing here locally. Think about it. This is a genuine offer.
Today is another great day to book your room at the Sheraton National and purchase your Freeper Convention ticket!

SEE YOU IN DC!
Just thought I would plant a question and answer it myself! :)
Are you ready to do everything you can to take your country back, make your voice heard, and defend your freedoms?
You bet I am! I have booked my room and will be in Washington, DC on 9/12/09 along with thousands of other patriots!
Here is a wonderful Independence Day message to us from Glenn Beck!
July 3, 2009
Hello America,
Here it is, another Fourth of July. Traditionally, this is a day to gather with friends, maybe fire up the barbecue and play with kids until the sun sets and the fireworks start. But in thinking back on the meaning behind this day, we must never forget that our nation was baptized in the blaze of a very different kind of "fireworks." Yes, this is a day of rest and relaxation, as well it should be, but this year I'd like to ask you a favor.
At some point during the day, I hope you'll take time to think and reflect on what it is we're truly celebrating on the 4th of July -- our Independence Day. Of course the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776 but it's so much more than that. On this day, 233 short years ago, a small group of men dedicated themselves to a higher purpose, an ideal they believed in so greatly, they signed their name to its expression and in doing so put their very lives at risk.
Never has a simple act of signing one's name carried such weight, such a profound commitment. By signing the Declaration of Independence, 56 men stood in direct defiance of the British government. They became marked men, and willingly so. As I was doing some research on the significance of July 4th, I came across some interesting facts about these men. Today as we all enjoy the freedom our forefathers guaranteed us, join me in honoring the extraordinary sacrifice of 56 extraordinary Americans.
Of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence:
Five were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes burned to the ground. Two lost sons serving in the Revolutionary Army, and two more had sons captured. Nine fought and died in the Revolutionary War.
If you ever feel like your lone voice can never be heard, that the political system isn't set up for "regular" Americans to change the course of history, remember: The signers were flesh and blood, mortal men with a divinely-inspired aim.
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists, eleven were merchants, and nine were farmers and large plantation owners. They were well educated, smart enough to know that by signing the Declaration of Independence, they were signing their own death warrants. They did it anyway, and God bless them for it.
As we enjoy our liberty on this 4th of July, or any day of any month, we must never take that liberty for granted. Too many have given too much. In the words of the Signers themselves, "For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." Their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor -- I think that's a price paid worth a few minutes of reflection, don't you? But let's not be solemn in that reflection. I say rejoice and share this information with your friends and family, especially your kids. The Signers asked for nothing in return for their pledge, but I say that we show our thanks with a pledge of our own: To remember, to be grateful, and to carry on in their spirit. America is the greatest country this world has ever and will ever know, and it will stay that way so long as "we the people" remember that just like in 1776.
It's US that surrounds them, and we'll never back down.
Happy Independence Day, and God bless America.
Glenn
