A few days ago it was announced the Florida Chapter of Free Republic would be gathering together in D.C. to attend the National Tea Party. Due to overwhelming interest all across the country, the event has now gone national

Get your plans set and join Freepers from across the U.S. for the 1^st. annual Freeper National Tea Party Convention!

• What:        Freeper National Tea Party Convention
• Where:    U.S. Capitol, Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial March begins at Lincoln Memorial and ends at the U.S. Capitol Building
• When:     September 10-12, 2009
• R.S.V.P.: FreepMail Brytani – number of rooms, people in your party by May 31, 2009!!!!!

This event is open only to Registered Freepers, their families and friends.

I’ll be coordinating this event with the MOST appreciated help from seekthetruth. For now I (Brytani) am collecting names of those who are committed to going to D.C. with us. Once we have a realistic idea of how many Freepers are aboard, I will be contacting Hotels in D.C. to find a group or convention rate. 

We already have a few wonderful Hotels on our list and don’t want to wait until they are filled up. The plan is simple and will take only a FreepMail but time is of the essence!!! Hotels in D.C. are filling up fast!!!

Please send Brytani a FreepMail if you are going to D.C. or if you’re strongly considering attending.   For now I need your FreeperID, the number of room you will need the how many people will be in your party. If you have any questions please ask them on this thread or if you’d prefer you can FreepMail me.

During the first week of June I will announce the Hotel, room rate, address, perks etc and when and how your reservation will need to be made.

For those who are considering joining us but have not completely committed, please FreepMail as well. This will give me a better idea of how many room to inquire on.

If you are already attending please consider staying with Freepers from around the nation. You’ll have the opportunity to meet people you’ve been talking to for years and make new FRriends.

Come on everyone get on board!!! Save a bit of money! Could you ask for a better group of people to spend a weekend with?

Thanks to JimRob for allowing us to make this event an official Free Republic function.

Thanks to Just a Nobody for sharing these links with us.

Bring only your birth certificate for i.d. purposes.

It has minimal "database" information but is a valid i.d.

That's if you're expecting to be harassed.

[Halls]

Could you tell me the hotels you are trying to get to reserve rooms?

My hubby and I are going to try and come but will be staying at the hotel of which my husband works for.

[griswold3]

Gotta a business to run. But plan on being there Sat 9/12!
(Ohio, flying out Friday night.)
Keep up the good work!

[Hildy]

That’s unfortunate...

[defal33]

I am going to do my best to bring as many people as I can. Right now it is just husband and myself (3 kids). We are taking a few days off from work and the kids from school, this is important.

I just seriously started thinking about this last week. Everyone is saying "somebody" should do something...and as we all know if we are waiting for somebody, nothing happens.

I am tired of wishing things will get better! I am going, no mater what! I will figure out the details in the next 3 months I have to prepare!

Heads Up MICHIGAN FREEPERS, we should caravan to this!! Meet somewhere south of Detroit (or something like that). Come On folks!! Here is our chance; we need a large Warm Body Count!!

[defal33]

If we don't get our numbers up, they can vote on anything they want!

[Brytani]

Will you need a room along with the rest of us?

[Brytani]

I’m not sure if the National Tea Party knows about that or not. Questions about the Tea Party itself should be addressed to http://912dc.org/

Sorry I can’t be more help with this.

[Brytani]

So far the only definite on Hotels is that any Marriott chain is out of the question. The DC Chapter of FR (and many others freepers) have been boycotting and I will respect this.

What chain does your husband work at if you don’t mind me asking?

[Brytani]

If you need and room and wish to stay with Freepers, shot me a quick FreepMail #of room and people in your party.

[Brytani]

You’re right, this is very important.

If you all will need room and wish to stay with the Freeper Convention, shoot me a FreepMail with #of room and people in your party.

The more people we have the better rate/perks we will be able to get.

COME ON FREEPERS!!!!!

[Prince of Space]

My husband and I are coming for the protest. However, since 09/29 is our 30th anniversary, we've decided to celebrate it early in DC. We're planning on spending a week there, but we definitely don't want to share a room!

We'd like to possibly stay at the same hotel as other Freepers or at least nearby, so please count us in the group.

BTW, how do you find out your account number?

[Halls]

The Four Seasons. We live in Dallas and he works at the Four Seasons Resort and Club here. We have a nice perk in that we get to stay free at any Four Seasons , but it has to be available for us to stay there that weekend. We won’t know till mid summer or so.

[Prince of Space]

That’s so cool! My hubby used to work for Hyatt and they had the same deal. Sure wish he was still there so we could take advantage of that perk in DC.

[HotLead61]

B, I have just Freepmailed you.

Central Arkansas Freeper alert! Willing to carpool, as well as offer my car for travel (2002 Honda Civic 4-door, 35-38 MPG)...

Also looking to split room costs with someone...

Anybody nearby who might be interested, just Freepmail me so we can begin to put this together.

[Brytani]

I’ll be posting the hotel reservation information the first week of June. For now I’m gathering together the number of rooms we will need and people who will be attending.

Once the arrangements with a hotel are arranged I’ll post the convention # for everyone to call and get their rooms.

Some of us are planning on coming in early or staying over for a mini-vacation. I will try to extend the room rate as far prior and after the convention as possible.

If you would like to stay with Freepers, please shoot me a quick FreepMail letting me know the #of rooms you will need and people in your party.

Happy Anniversary.

[Brytani]

You have FreepMail

“I don't know about the July 4th march on Washington, but I do know that there are going to be hundreds of events across the country on July 4th.”

Yes, there are Patriotic/Tea Party events being planned or already planned for July 4th and other times during June, July, August in many states.

All Freepers from EVERY STATE should register on their Free Republic State Forum to keep up with events that are being planned and to spread the information they hear about from various conservative organizations.

If you are reading this post: Are you registered on your State Free Republic Forum? If not, is it because you don't know how to register or can't find the link to your particular State FR Forum?

Please Freepmail me, tell me your State, and I will provide you the link to your State FR Forum along with directions on how to register on your State FR Forum. Don't miss getting together with all the FReepers in your State! Don't miss hearing about events taking place in your State! Don't miss getting information about important issues concerning your particular state! Don't miss important information about candidates running for office in your state! 2010

AND: Don't miss the opportunity to have a State Free Republic Convention like we Florida Freepers did this past April! What great friendships we have made and we are fired up to help make our “1st Annual Free Republic National Tea Party Convention” one of the best Conventions freepers from EVERY STATE can attend!

PLEASE Freepmail me if you want the link to your State FR Forum along with registration directions! Jean St.Pete,FL:)
