I’d heard the date was picked for those very reasons.
Originally we planned a Florida Chapter - D.C. trip. After reading how many other freepers planned on going to the Sept. rally, we opened it up to all of Free Republic.
I probably should not have named this a Free Republic “Convention” given the main focal point is the Tea Party.
It was too good to pass up the chance to meet up with Freepers for 9-11 memorials, THE National Tea Party and a great time for all Freepers to get together. It’s not often an event takes place that can bring Freepers together from across the entire country. There is no way we could pass up this opportunity.
If anyone is interested, below are links to making your own folding flag/sign pole with a demonstration by FReeper usmcobra.

Thanks to Just a Nobody for sharing these links with us.
Sounds good to me and it looks like things are coming together quite well all around!
