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 1st. annual Freeper National Tea Party Convention!
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.
Here is The Link to the schedule.
I got free tickets from a friend who works for AA. If the hotel works out we are so going! Will find out in July if our hotel is open. Hubby works for a hotel and we can stay for free depending on if they aren’t full.
I am debating between driving (following the Tea Party Express) or Flying to DC, (round trip tickets under $140.00). My husband is not on board yet, however I have 3 months to get my Group together!!
Can anyone put me in touch with the Houston TX Freepers who may be going to D.C.? I’ve been out of the loop since our Clinton Freeping days and particularly trying to reach GloGirl (Humidston).

Information was posted with a link to this thread on EVERY Free Republic State Forum. Problem is, many Freepers do not visit their State FR Forum or are even registered on it. Here is your Texas FR Forum link. Post there to get your group together! If you need help, Freepmail me! :)

Please contact Brytani by FREEPMAIL if you are coming to DC for the FReeper Convention with your info on number of rooms needed and number in your party. She will contact you back by FReepmail. DO NOT PING Brytani from this thread with room requests. Please contact through Freepmail.
Those of you who have already pinged Brytani and received a reply from her need not Freepmail. But from now on she would like folks to just contact through FREEPMAIL concerning room requests. Thanks! Jean
Thank you, Brytani for your help and all you other Freepers. I think I had looked around for my group, but the format has changed. I will go sign in as per your suggestion.
