It's been exactly three years since the Free Republic March for Justice was held on the Mall in Washington D.C., an event that will never be forgotten by those who were there and was directly responsible for inspiring the House Judiciary Committee to start impeachment proceedings agains Bill Clinton.

If you were there, sign in here and let everyone know how much it meant to you and a favorite memory of that historic day in the life of FreeRepublic and the United States of America

I was there, only a lurker at the time.
Best memory was seeing Ann, up close and personal.
Also seeing Alan Keyes speaking changed my life forever......

I LIKE BUSH.....

[Floratina]

Yeah, sorta like you were a celebrity or somethin'.

The MFJ was the culmination of the hard work of some of the finest people I've ever had the privilege to know. It was pleasure and an honor to have worked on the project, and I'll treasure the wonderful memories of that day the rest of my life.
Thank you to all who made it happen, and to those who joined us.

I was there. I hadn't planned on attending, but all the excitement got to me. I didn't finally decide to go until the Thursday before the rally. I cancelled my afternoon class at Albion College on Friday, drove from Michigan to Ohio to pick up my son and a friend, and we arrived in the DC area about midnight.

Two of my best memories are ReJoyce's speech and photographing my son and friend in back of the White House with a large sheet that said, "Kenyon College for Impeachment."

MatchettPI and I drove to DC from Florida.

--We also have it on videotape (C-Span)--and were captured by their camera--It was a day I will never forget!!

Also-as history will record--we succeeded --in our cause,to IMPEACH CLINTON!!

I can still hear the loud chant, 4000 of us, in a united chorus, of IMPEACH-IMPEACH-IMPEACH!!!

The March for Justice was a great event. What a privilege and honor to meet so many dedicated patriots and true friends. Speeches, songs, prayers, flags, signs, chants, cheers, tears, emotions on high, and throughout patriotism sparkling through the air like electricty. I will never ever forget that day for as long as I live. Thank you to all who planned, organized, helped, traveled, attended, supported or watched on CSPAN. Regards, Jim Robinson

JimRob, is it possible to locate the threads on Senator Pardek's link?

[Dog Gone]

I was one of those who participated only by watching it on CSPAN. It was a great event.

It also answered the question of whether Clinton's a liar is a babe or not.

She is.

BUMP (in hopes to see some old, familiar names pop up on this thread - such as Marie Antoinette, Lurkysis, AGreatPer, SheThink13, oh - gosh, let me see - I know there are many, more but the names escape me right now. Sorry about that.

Also - I remember sharing the elevator with Matt Drudge and Lucianne at the Premier Hotel.

[It'salmosttolate]

I was there.

I remember Texas Chip on his cellphone, constantly in touch with the New England Freepers who were driving to DC in a caravan. When he gave the word, we all poured out into the street to wave them through....

I was the one who was in touch with TexasChip during the convoy. He guided me through the streets of downtown Washington right to the hotel. I'll never forget leading the NE convoy down the homestretch and seeing hundreds of Freepers pouring into the street to greet us. We stopped our cars right in the middle of the street and jumped out of the cars to cheers and popping flashbulbs. I felt like Tom Cruise arriving at the Oscars. My kids, who were in the car with me, thought for months that I was some kind of famous celebrity (they soon got over that notion).

What many might not know is that after the grand entrance, we moved on to find parking. We ended up getting lost and it took us over an hour to find our way back to the reception! But we made it in time to meet Jim Robinson and catch Matt Drudge and Trixie just as they were leaving.

I was there with my brother & his wife (my husband could not attend). We went up late Thur. & came home Sun. It was the best short trip any of us had ever taken. We had time to see Washington DC, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Even tho I was the only freeper of the 3 of us we were all inspired by Saturdays rally & all the wonderful speakers. We saw Drudge, Michael Issicof (sp) & Jonah Goldberg in the crowd. On Sun. morning we were given a tour of Ft. Marcy Park by Patrick Knowleton (sp). We were enthralled by it all & still speak of it.

The archives are offline at the moment. I am unable to bring anything back until we complete some additional programming and database redesign work. Will be complete soon (I hope).

[Bob J]

What you said...heheh!

[Clinton's a rapist]

Yip, I was there. It's been a strange trip, hasn't it?

[Mitzi]

It was a great/perfect day and evening!

I rode down from NYC with Ken5050 and another guy whose name has escaped me (I'm having a senior moment!)
