I don’t want to be too harsh. I wish them well. While it does seem high, my problem isn’t with the $175. If I had the time I’d probably attend. But like most conservatives, I work and living in Texas, it’s going to be all I can do do break away for the march. I want to do it badly enough, though to drive 120 miles to DFW, take a plane to DC, stay overnight on the 11th, and fly back the morning of the 13th. I’m entirely willing to do that.
I really DO want to attend the march. I was at the local tea party and have been saying for some time that we need a big DC march to avoid being marginalized....so I’m all in for that. I wish more effort were being directed to that, though, getting people there, maybe organizing busses, etc., than a “convention.”

Hank I agree. I will have that Friday off. I plan to go to the march but what really burns me is that many Freepers have kids hard enough but the $175 a person is just not good if you want people to come. I was looking forward to some good grassroots stuff not this typical D.C. inside the beltway convention. I’m sorry but this is not what I thought we were going to be doing.
Please see my post number 61.
I agree, each state should organize several buses. We arrive in DC. Stay there for 24 hours and then we leave so we can all return in time for work on Monday.
Have you tried checking the rates from GGG to DFW to DC? I fly out at least 10 times a year and found that if you book it right, flying out of GGG is just as cheap (sometimes the rates are so good, it is cheaper to fly from GGG to Little Rock than to drive.)
