The speakers at CPAC were outstanding, as were the many thought-provoking questions asked by members of the audience (many of whom were FReepers). We came away from the conference with a wealth of knowledge and "all fired up" in our commitment to conservative causes. We also came home with a big stack of author-signed books! It was particularly nice to meet and spend a few minutes speaking with Michele Malkin, Katherine Harris, J.C. Watts, Michael Barone and Mark Levin.
And, of course, the best thing about CPAC was the ability to spend three whole days with new and long-time FReeper FRiends! I only wish we could’ve been two places at once – we were so busy listening to the various speakers in the ballroom, we really didn’t have a lot of time to spend in the exhibit room. When we did have time, though, we were sure to hang out by the Free Republic Network booth and by the DC Chapter booth. The FReepers running both booths did a fabulous job! SeekingTheTruth and his wife had their fantastic 0Cents shop set up, and Taxman was working hard at his booth as well. I am sorry to say that we didn’t realize the Second Amendment Sisters were FReepers… We won’t make that mistake next time!
We would highly recommend CPAC to each and every FReeper! I would imagine the 2004 CPAC will be even more exciting with the upcoming Presidential election. We are already looking forward to it.
