Is there a website or main post that describes the timing and what is happening there, etc.?
BTTT

There seems to be a lot of interest in finding a conservative candidate to support in opposition to Charlie Crist’s run for the Florida Senate seat in 2010. Would y’all be interested in inviting some of the candidates that have expressed an interest in running against him in the primary? If so, who would you invite? I think we could fit in a couple of them with each getting 15 - 20 minutes to tell us about themselves and answer questions.
Anyone interested in protesting the GE annual shareholder meeting on April 22 in Orlando!!!
We need to stop them!
I didn’t get the info from the hotel today regarding making reservations, but I expect it tomorrow or Wednesday. As soon as I get it I’m going to Freep mail everyone that has told me they’re interested in a room with the info.
I’m also going to post all the other info that everyone will need regarding the hotel; address, directions, etc. I’ll ping the entire Florida list when I’ve posted the info.
Do we have a couple of people that would be willing to be our official Orlando Historians and be in charge of keeping notes on what we discuss and any resolutions we come to?
Bump for later. Thanks .............. FRegards
I'm 99% sure I'll be there, however, I live close enough I will not need a room.
I checking in to say I won’t be able to make it. I know, it’s only about 3.5 hours from here, but I won’t be able to make it! :(
I will be in Orlando late evening on the 25th, flying home from Kansas for a few days before heading back to Iraq... I would like to meet as many FReepers as possible...
Making our two-night reservation this morning. :)
Already have room booked and race applicaiton paid to run the 7-mile bridge run in Marathon.
next year
I need to keep a head count of who is coming and who has reserved their room.
If you are coming, please mail me and let me know.
If you have reserved your room, please mail me and let me know.
If you are not coming you don’t need to let me know unless you’re on my list (see my about page) as wanting a hotel room.
Thanks,
Marci
From Boucheau's post:
"They don't need your guns. They need your labor (paycheck) and your passivity.
"The gun grab will come but by then you will already be their servant.
"The time to fight is now -but that is falling on deaf ears, I know.
"While Republicans are doing their part as useful idiots in the hatred of AIG executives, the hard-left is running out the back door with our country."
Well said, Boucheau.

The convention committee is working hard behind the scenes to put the agenda together for the morning and afternoon sessions.
Two speakers are nailed down (ouch!)....and we're waiting for their bios which we'll post as soon as they're received. I've heard tell they will join up together to put on a little "skit" on one of our favorite subjects, the Media (hiss, boo).
In plenty of time prior to the event we'll post driving instructions to the hotel. We'll even post a map in living color showing the hotel and grounds which depicts where everything is.....restaurants, meeting room, pool, fantastic attractions, live alligators......
We'll be meeting in the Convention Center area....the Sarasota Room to be precise. More on this later.
Because the hotel is massive and if you have trouble walking a distance, you may want to ask for a room either near the Convention Center (at the rear end of the hotel) or the "St. Augustine" area near the front of the hotel right behind the front lobby. The handicapped rooms are here, also.
Don't be afraid to tell the reservationist-ette what you want. This hotel is most accomodating.
I'm staying in St. Augustine as I want to be near the lobby to meet and greet freepers checking in if I happen to be there....near the alligators.....at such times. I also want my room to be close to the front desk and the staff who will be very helpful with information to committee members and guests. Or you may want to be closer to the convention area. Bring comfortable shoes, LOL.
Dress all day long is "warm-weather casual", dinner is "freeper-casual-looking-nice"....if you get my drift.
