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."

That’s a really good point about potential “bugs” being planted by the Obamabots. I would just assume that any and all telephone and e mail going in and out of that place is being closely monitored too, so not one careless word can slip down there.
They probably even have the bathrooms bugged.
Given that the Capitol Police are all SEIU Members, It might be safe to assume that leftists can get away with just about anything as “Officers” look the other way, while participants in the demonstration might get arrested for littering if they drop a gum wrapper.
I hope that there are going to be plenty of friendly Lawyers among the Patriot band, as they may be needed to get fellow Patriots out of jail.
“Justice” and “Equal protection under the Law” is something that I would very much NOT expect down there - although I hope that they prove me wrong about that.
Prayers up for all of you with skin in the game.

It just ain’t America anymore.
Sounds like one of BO's drug-addicted ObamaComs was taking Bammie's "Day of Communityism Service" seriously.
Prayers being said! Wish I could have joined the DC March.
God bless to everyone attending.
I too am very surprised ABC News reported on this.
God bless our people in DC today; they are in my prayers, may the Good Lord look after them and protect them from any harm.
And some are suprised by this???
Note to self: Always make sure there is at least one alternate and unpublished location known to organizers which is capable of handling the traffic and has backups of all pertinent data. Be set up to reroute phone calls via call forwarding to alternate location so operations can be resumed with a minimum of disruption if evacuation is mandated for any reason.
They pulled the same stunt on us in 2004.
The college republicans were counter protesting at a speech given by John Edwards at Ohio University/Athens. An unattended backpack appeared in the middle of the counter protestors and then security used this as an excuse to move us off the corner and disperse.
Law against sedition come and go, but TREASON (and Bill Ayers, Jane Fonda and John Kerry DID commit it) in supporting the North Vietnamese military in a time war is TREASON.
Treason is defined in our Constitution as a crime and there has been no repeal or “expiration”.
California DOES still have a law on the books prohibiting Communists and those who seek to push seditious overthrow of our government from being employed in California schools. I am unaware of any Communists being charged or kicked out (although such pinkso do exist in the California educational system) BUT there are Democrat legislators who are trying to push through a bill to repeal this law. Democrats alligned with Communists and those who seek to overthrow the government. No surprise there.
