On the eve of what organizers call a 'Big Ol' TEA Party', the Washington, D.C., offices of FreedomWorks were evacuated by DC Metro police on Friday afternoon after the conservative organization reported to authorities at 3:42 pm ET that it had received a bomb threat.
At 4:48 pm ET, the organization put out a Twitter message saying that it turned out to be a false alarm but the organization is not happy about the disruption.
My colleague, ABC News' Teddy Davis has the story:
Tens of thousands of anti-big government activists are expected in Washington on Saturday as part of a "March on Washington" being organized by FreedomWorks, a conservative group headed by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas.
A FreedomWorks staffer told ABC News that the organization's offices at 601 Pennsylvania Avenue were evacuated on Friday afternoon by DC Metro Police because of a bomb scare.
DC Metro police has confirmed to ABC News' Jason Ryan that the DC Metro police had, indeed, evacuated the organization's offices after being told by the organization that it had received a bomb threat.
The threat came when a man called the FreedomWorks main line and told the organization's female receptionist: "I put a bomb in your building, bitch."

There, fixed it for you.
Get up stand up,.... stand up for your rights, get up stand up,.... don’t give up the fight!
Prayers for a safe and blessed weekend for all the Patriots who have traveled to DC to let their voices be heard, and their physical presences be seen by those who would like to ignore We The People!
Much quaking in the boots should be felt by the elite politicians this weekend. Their days in office are numbered. Those who stand up like Sarah and Joe will lead us in the future. RINOs can go get real jobs after the next elections.
God Bless all the FReepers in DC!
Ephesians 6:11,17 “Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the devil. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of The Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
Rhambo?
I hope someone has the ability to check for listening devices. Opportunity to plant them may have been the reason for getting everyone out on a phony bomb scare.
Not if it's called in by the media.
Typical ploy by those who can’t refute the message; they try to intimidate the messenger. O’s black activist thugs surely called it in.
The Left is on a war footing...
Seriously.
This has RAHM all over it!
Psalm 33
10 The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
Do not fear. The Lord will protect you. I wish so much I could be there with everyone. My prayers are with all y’all!
Thanks for the reminder! My front porch light is now ON.
We need to lend support to all the patriots marching tomorrow.
An electronic rally if you will.
I've been sending emails already to Pelosi, Reid, Rangel and the like.
If you are not in their district, they will block your email attempts..........soooooo, go to the House and Senate Websites.
You can email the Speaker of the House, the Majority Senate leader, individual House and Senate committee members.
I'm giving a short liner.
Representatives and Senators are SERVANTS OF THE PEOPLE, NOT ROYALTY. STOP THE SPENDING.
Everyone send one or two....together we can send the message that will bolster the D.C. tea party tomorrow.
Whoa.... thats some serious in His face signage. Hating God and mocking Him is rather unhealthy both in the short and longterm. Does the law protect God against ‘hate speech’?
We know the liberal answer to that one.
Some of us were talking about that, and I forgot all about it! Thanks! What to start a 9/12 email congress tea party thread?
Prayers for the safety and protection of the marchers, freepers, patriots and supporters!
I’m with you in spirit..
What to = want to
I pulled it off People’s Cube. It could be a spoof. We have all seen enough real pics of the moonbats to know it’s probably for real or pretty close...lol.
I hope this stunt failed and the tea party goers took this as no joke.
Couldn’t have said it better myself, Joe!
