Richmond, VA is having a Rally Fer America that's being promoted by Limbaugh's Flagship Station WRVA-1140 and Michael Graham and Jeff Beck!! We're expecting in excess of 10,000 folks from NOON until 2:30

10,000???!!! WOW!

Take the plunge and start our own Virginia thread now that we have the details. The Richmond event will get more exposure that way!

[M]oving over to St.John's Church on Richmond's Church Hill to Celebrate the Reenactment of Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!!" speech!! Gonna be a humdinger and we're working to arrange fer an OldDominionFReeper booth to tell folks about FreeRepublic.com and FreeRepublic.org and the brand, spankin' NEW OldDominionFReeper Chapter!!

Mud, I'm thinking if we're hosting a booth, we're not going to have time to get to Church Hill. Remember, the seating is first come, first served. I'd rather postpone the St. John's Church reenactment til summer when it's performed weekly. That way we're free to fully enjoy the Rally. What say you?

Hi, and thanks for the ping...

Guess what ! You don't have to choose between hearing Patrick Henry or having a booth at Rally for America...

WRVA contacted my husband today. He's going to be there at the rally for America- as Patrick Henry! His version of the LorD speech is the best I've ever heard. You can hear it at the rally!

This means another local actor will be doing the re-enactment up at the church that day. So, of course I think you should postpone that till the summer (not that I would have any personal bias, now) :)

Thank you for the notification, Ligeia. I will mobilize the Blennos brigade. We will be there.

Are Freepers going to wear any identification? Do we have buttons or emblems. We need them. Blennos

[putupon]

A booth would be great!! No telling how many new Freepers could be enlisted. I think buttons would be a great thing to pass out. People keep will them for souveniers, I wouldn't trade my Sore/Loserman from the DC Chapter's Thanksgiving 2000 Naval Observatory Freep for anything. With www.Freerepublic.com on them sooner or later FreeRepublic will get a hit.

Anybody know anything about costs and where to purchase them?

"What say you?"

I'm flex, but I've already begun tellin' folks about the Patrick Henry Reenactment and I'd still like to hit somewheres fer an early dinner afterwards...and by the sound of today's announcement on WRVA, it looks like they might be piggy-backin' the Reenactment and Richmond's Rally FER America!!

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Reenactors give a performance at the Innsbrook Pavilion!!

But that's just a rumor I'm startin'...LOL!!

Gonna be sumthin' to tell the grandkids about, I reckon...MUD
