Freepers! Please post comments and your great pictures here. Also links to videos would be appreciated!
It sure was great to be a part of this historic event! We American patriots were certainly NOTICED!
Met many new Freepers at Walter Reed and at the hotel, including Tolkin, I-Be_TC, the RatRipper bros., GRRRR.
It was like a family reunion, almost as if you had known each other your whole life and were just getting back together. Despite a variety of backgrounds, our common interests made it easy to meet new people, start conversations, and enjoy good company!
We had a great time at our Freeper Convention and like you, James and I will never forget being with millions of patriotic Americans at the Capitol! It certainly was an event to remember!

Me too!
This is getting frustrating.
I'm glad I can finally see the YouTube videos (thank you for the link, HonestConservative), but I'm also very interested in seeing any photos from the convention--particularly photos of anyone speaking at the podium.
I know somebody took pictures, LOL! I can see the camera flashes in the video! Post 'em already! Please :)
I've just asked JimRob to post one of those little colored link thingies on the top of the Latest Posts page. It will be linked directly to this Post-Convention thread. This should draw the traffic here!
I'm anxious to see the photos, also, because I wasn't there due to surgery, ratz!

Bless you, Leni :) I appreciate it.

Please ping away to others who you might identify or who will enjoy it!
Many folks traveled from great distances or are sick after the fact, so it took a while for us to get to it. Plus I was fried!
The keyword in red at the top of the latest posts page "Freeper Convention" will link you to the "Official Post-Convention" thread link which will bring you here.
Got it?.....LOL
Everyone should bookmark this page for continuing fun, comments and photos!
Thanks, JimRob for the timely link.

I'd say that 110% of us are all fed up with Obozo and his ilk.
The best part was being able to simple talk openly with FRiends about anything we wanted to discuss. Family, politics, sports, travel...you name it and it was talked about at one point or another.
On Friday the visit to Walter Reed was fantastic. I'd estimate there were about 150 people there from all different groups, not just FReepers. It was a little drizzly but spirits were very high. There were only a few MOONBATS down the way and they were easy to ignore.
The Friday night Candle light vigil was very moving, the opportunity for a group of people to express their Love of Country in such a simple way had many with teary eyes. Lt. Col. Allen West spoke, if you poke around the thread you will find his talk.
Saturday the March was incredible, people from across the land and of every shape and color you could imagine. The pictures and videos just don't it justice. The entire place was buzzing with REAL hope that we just might have an impact on OUR Country. Of course, the State Run Media completely ignored the entire affair, but we KNOW better...
The highlight of the time was the Banquet on Saturday Night. FReeper Ladies and Gentlemen did not waste the opportunity to get on their finest with plenty of bling.
Saying the Pledge, singing the Anthem and listening to the speakers was such a stirring time, I was very proud to be among so many like minded people.
The main function of our gathering, I believe, was to connect with other FReepers in person. There are so many of us on the forum that we will never, ever meet so being able to put a face, a hug, a handshake with a NickName was very important. It will only strengthen FR...I hope we can improve our FReepathon turn around by having this gathering.

Thanks, GRRRRR,
It was a pleasure to meet you!
And you too, too bad we didn’t have any more time to chat!
I’m going to try and start my DVD creation over the weekend.
Basil was very interested in getting a copy from the Banquet so I’m pinging her.
See the link in my tagline, that site has great video in clips. Just look down the right side panel and see the named video links and click on them.
