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.

I wonder if the Senate will be voting on the CO2 Cap and tax during that time period?

Thanks for the prayers. It is a very difficult time for everyone, especially her. She is staying with me right now but she is in the hospital at the moment. She is a fighter though and doing better.

Keep me posted of various info on the rally if you get a ping list going. I would appreciate it.

[Brytani]

Consider it done.

[Fu-fu2]

Bookmarked-—and I sent you the room info.

God bless you for knowing that your daughter comes first! An early congratulations to your daughter and future son-in-law! :)

[seekthetruth]

I know that Brytani is receiving a great deal of Freepmail messages and they will grow in number as more Freepers read their State FR forum and this thread.

Hope all FReepers will bookmark this thread and keep checking back for the latest information. I will also be helping Brytani by getting info out and helping to answer questions through this thread or Freepmail. Looking forward to meeting many Freepers in DC! Jean

Are any Ohio freepers going?Are there car pools planned to share expenses?

[penelopesire]

Thank you very much. They are much appreciated.

[Brytani]

I am not sure about Ohio Freepers but the best place to ask that question would be on the Ohio Board.

Do you know how to sign into your state board and post/receive messages?

[Chickensoup]

I work 45 weekends a year but I am actually scheduled off that weekend.

I will be there.

[Brytani]

If you have sent me a FreepMail requesting a room and have NOT heard from me, please re-send the message.

Thank You
Brytani

Remember to Bookmark this page and keep bumping it!!!

[Brytani]

Please send me a FreepMail with the number of rooms you will need and number of people in your party.

For your one weekend off, what could be better then spending it with Freepers?!?! :-)

[Mercat]

Is there a ping list?

[Brytani]

Ummm yea, as soon as I figure out how to do one....lol

[Hildy]

This is great..but may I ask why we’re not doing this in conjunction with the July 4th march on washington? At any rate, I’m really going to try to come.

[Brytani]

It’s not being done in conjunction with the July 4 events because the organizers of the National Taxpayer Tea Party movement picked these dates.

Since so many Freepers were already going to D.C. for the national event, we decided to turn it into a convention at this end so we can receive convention/group rates at a Hotel.

[nomad]

Sure.
