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.
Ill 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 dont 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 youre 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 youd 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. Youll have the opportunity to meet people youve 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.
Basil, Be sure to Freepmail Brytani and let her know that you and your husband are going to Washington, DC.
PLEASE EVERYONE! Make sure you have let Brytani know by FREEPMAIL that you are coming! She must have your Freepmail message as she could miss reading your intentions here on the thread. Brytani and I are sharing answering comments, questions and pings on this thread, but Brytani must have the information on numbers of folks coming by FREEPMAIL.
When you FREEPMAIL Brytani that you are coming, please give her the following information.
1. A “YES” that you are coming and want to get in on the group rate at the hotel that is chosen.
2. How many rooms you plan to reserve when the registration time begins, and number in your party.
3. How many people in your party will be attending the Free Republic Convention events.
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY MADE YOUR HOTEL RESERVATION IN DC: PLEASE FREEPMAIL Brytani and tell her you have your hotel room and are coming to the Free Republic Convention events.
REMEMBER! DEADLINE IS TOMORROW, SUNDAY, MAY 31ST! Thanks so much for your attention to this! Jean

Can you please put me on the Tea Party ping list?

TThe article says this is open to Freepers and their families. Have yo dropped that yet? and if not how will such a mandate be enforced. We are talking hopefully about one hell of a lot of people and the mall is a public place.”
The Freeper Convention events are open to Freepers and their families. Also being part of the group rate for the hotel that is chosen is open to Freepers and those coming in the Tea Party Express Tour with JimRob.
There will be many events planned by various groups who have permits all over Washington. Freepers will have the choice to attend any events, just like anyone else who comes to DC.

Right now, it is IMPORTANT that Freepers make their plans known to Brytani by FREEPMAIL! Deadline is tomorrow for letting Brytani know if you want to be in on the group rate for the hotel that is chosen for the Freeper Convention.
