Ted Kennedy FReep Report Austin,Tx 12/12/03

[DrewsDad]

Ted Kennedy was invited by The Texas Civil Rights Project as the keynote speaker at their 13th Annual Bill of Rights Dinner in Austin, Texas. Ted brought with him dreary weather with intermittant drizzle thoughout most of the day. Despite terrible traffic and conflicts with other meetings, we managed to get 5 Freepers and RLC(Republican Liberty Caucus) members out to FReep Teddy on a miserable evening. The honor roll includes Basil, Gracey, Sue, Don, and myself.

We setup on the public sidewalk at the entrance to the Four Seasons hotel where Teddy was speaking. There was a stoplight at the entrance, so we had a significant amount of traffic in addition to all those arriving for the dinner who had to drive by us. We had numerous displays of the Democrat IQ(1 middle finger) as well as a few who rolled down there window to insult President Bush. We responded with chants of "FOUR MORE YEARS" and "DON'T DRINK AND DIVE" among others.

We stayed around until the entering traffic pretty much died down. Afterwards, most of us returned for the rest of the RLC meeting and enjoyed various Thai dishes that I won't attempt to spell. The conditions were less than ideal, but we had good food and fellowship while ticking of a significant number of liberals. Great job Heart of Texas Freepers and RLC members.

Hi guys, it's me, Sue. Yes, I made it home alive. No thanks to you, Dave. :P Who was that creepy fundamentalist freak you left Gracey and me alone with?

Just you wait, Ted's gonna bill us for our rights.

Now if he would only take a ride in a convertible in Dallas.....

[Ditter]

Fun! Great job!

[lormand]

Good Job!

Please keep it up. I do not work downtown anymore, so I can't do any of my one-man five minute freeps on the creeps who pollute the Capital steps during the day.

When I worked downtown, the hags from "Women in Black" would infest the South steps of the Capital to spew their anti-Bush vomit. Of course, for at least 5 to 10 minutes of their day, they had to endure more than an ear full from me, which made their day not an entirely pleasant one.

[basil]

Sorry you missed it, too, It'd be nice if sometimes we had a bit more lead time to prepare for these things.

[DrewsDad]

Welcome to FR Sue!

Yes, I made it home alive. No thanks to you, Dave. :P

Sorry, I didn't notice that you were being held against your will in conversation with someone I hadn't met before attending my first RLC meeting last night. Sometimes you have to take Nancy's advice and just say NO.

[DrewsDad]

Good Morning Basil!

There were probably less than fifty folks in the lobby when I went in, but most of them may have been in a seperate dining area already.

BTW, where can one get a shirt like that?

[DrewsDad]

Sorry we didn't get the word out better. This was pretty much a last minute decision whether to go or not with the weather issues and the meeting conflicts. We probably need to have someone monitor these FReep opportunities a little closer.

Another great freep by the Heart of Texas Chapter. Thanks for the report and photos.

[DrewsDad]

Glad to hear from you Angelwood. Ya'll keep up the great work in D.C.

O, the dissipation!

[Doctor Raoul]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this.

Too bad I didn't know in advance, I could have shipped a megaphone. And a script.

Perhaps a counter to the "bird" is a sign that reads:

Thank you for showing
