Second, time is running out on our booking contract with the Sheraton National Hotel in Arlington, VA. We only have 5 days left to book rooms at our discounted $116 per night rate.

We'll be holding some 30 odd tea parties in cities all across the nation on the way. Please check the TeaPartyExpress Tour Schedule and join us when we come to a city near you! Click here to contribute to the TeaPartyExpress fund!
And finally, we need help with our DC events and convention expenses. Whether or not you are attending our events in DC, if would like to help someone else attend or help us meet our general event overhead expenses, please consider donating to our Convention Fund. We've already had three FReepers donate the price of a ticket ($175) so others can attend. Thank you FReepers!! Please mail your checks to Free Republic, LLC, PO Box 9771, Fresno, CA, 93794 and include a note or the words "Convention Fund" on the memo line. Or if you'd rather donate via credit card or PayPal, please use our secure server link and just include "Convention Fund" in the comments field so we can break your donation out and report it separately from our FReepathon totals.
Thank you all very much!!
See you in DC!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
DONT TREAD ON ME!!
“Of all of these, I hope most of all to hear Apostle Claver and get to meet him!” ~ basil
Those who try and get attention and make a name for themselves by bashing Rush Limbaugh and pushing Michael Steele as the greatest thing since sliced bread don’t pass the smell test with me. http://apostleclaver.blogspot.com/
Like ALL am radio talk show hosts, this guy would be nowhere without Rush pioneering the way and taking all the arrows. Does he have the _humility_ to admit that and publically apologize to Rush?
We’ll see, because if I get the chance when I’m in DC, I’ll ask him.
Change that to: “publicly” (not “publically”). GRRR!!!
It is what you said that counts, and it is right on! I really wish Michael Steele would just hurry up and join the Democrat party along with all the other moderate conservatives in the Republican Party and be done with it! It would help us clean out the RINO once and for all!
I believe anyone who wants to reach across the isle to the DEMS is a RINO and needs to go into retirement from the Republican Party. Guess that leaves us about five Repubicans left in Congress!
Just a reminder: The Main Convention Live Thread For Information and Updates is at this link: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2310980/posts
bttt
Hire the expert....
My heart will be with you guys. I booked a cruise way before the convention plans were announced and will be away until the 13th.
I will be following events online, though. I hope you have a HUGE turnout for the march.
“CONFIRMED SPEAKERS FOR SATURDAYS RALLY:”
And if Sarah Palin were to speak, the event would draw 2 million folks, I bet.
CAN WE GET SARAH?????
