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.
Hooray and a GIANT BTTT!
I hope all Florida FReepers see that this is a wonderful way to get together again. Many more can join the fun too!
Looking forward to seeing you in DC, Joy! Sure going to be a great event! :)
Looking forward to meeting all my fellow FReepers.
I hope those who have booked their own hotel but plan on coming to the Convention events/banquet let Brytani know. We need the Convention attendee count as well.
Thanks so much! Jean

I’ll be in Baltimore MD and taking the train in to DC from BWI. See you in DC. I’ll be wearing a white cowgirl hat. A Gadsden Flag will be pinned to the back of my tee shirt on the 12th.
DID YOU FREEPMAIL BRYTANI TO TELL HER YOU WILL BE ATTENDING THE CONVENTION EVENTS?
MANY FOLKS ARE NOT REALIZING THAT WE NEED THIS INFORMATION. AND THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO BRYTANI BY FREEPMAIL ONLY. (DO NOT PING HER ON A THREAD AS IT MAY BE MISSED.)
1. FREEPMAIL BRYTANI IF YOU ARE GOING TO BOOK A ROOM IN THE CHOSEN “FREEPER” HOTEL...AND HOW MANY ARE IN YOUR PARTY. ALSO TELL US HOW MANY IN YOUR PARTY ARE GOING TO ATTEND THE FREEPER CONVENTION EVENTS/BANQUET. THANKS!
2 FREEPMAIL BRYTANI IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A ROOM/LODGING BUT PLAN ON ATTENDING THE FREEPER CONVENTION EVENTS/BANQUET. ALSO TELL HOW MANY WILL BE ATTENDING THE BANQUET. THANKS!
PLEASE FREEPMAIL SEEK THE TRUTH WITH QUESTIONS. THANKS!
Hi, seek. Just thought I’d let you know that I called into a talk radio show in Little Rock this afternoon (they were talking about government waste).
I plugged the DC March, as well as the Tea Party Express stop in LR. The host didn’t know about it yet!
I gave the website address “912dc.org” and told them to Google “Tea Party Express” to find out more. CHALLENGE to all Freepers! Call (conservative) talk radio in your area and PLUG THE MARCH! Talk about it with co-workers, church or synagogue members, family & friends if you can.
We have GOT to have a huge showing in Washington!! For those who can’t attend, please spread the word & pray for the effort to succeed...
I am delighted to say that more and more FReepers are hearing about it and planning to join us in DC. I am also a member of our local 9/12 group and the word is getting out because now is the time to firm up plans for attending events in DC on 9/11-9/13!
See you at the FReeper Convention! :)
I need to make my airline reservations and need to know what the itenarary is......are we meeting on the 10th or 11th....??????
Events begin the afternoon of 9/11. Sign in and then at 5:30 Tribute to 9/11 victims.
6:30 - Move to Walter Reed for Support Our Troupes event. Waving signs and flags in front of Walter Reed.
Glad you are comming to DC!
Be sure to FREEPMAIL Brytani and tell her your plans and if BOTH of you are planning to attend the Convention Events/Banquet. Thanks!
Do you think we can get up a group to tour the WHITE HOUSE?
I’m not organizing the activities. Please check with the thread author. I would imagine you can get a tour.
Many various Tea Party rallies will be held for folks to attend and also a Freeper event during the day on Saturday 9/12. If some Freepers get together sometime during the weekend to take a tour of the White House that certainly is fine. But a tour of the White House is not in the plans at this time by the Freeper Conference committee. Details will be out when things are finalized and confirmed. Just keep checking back here. Thanks! Jean
I’m sorry - I really was teasing - I have no interest in touring the White House with the current resident.
Gee! My hubby would be ready to order a Obama “zero” t-shirt from our Freeper friend to wear on the tour! :)
“I’m sorry - I really was teasing - I have no interest in touring the White House with the current resident.”
I was thinking a “Freep” kind of visit. But guess that wouldn’t be nice and we always act nice. :)
