DC Chapter to FReep Hillary Clinton on April 21

[BillF]

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us for a FReep of Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, April 21 at 6 PM (or as soon thereafter as possible) at the Dupont Circle Books-A-Million in Washington, DC.

Just over ten months ago, DC Chapter co-leader Kristinn called on FReepers across the country to peaceably protest Hillary's hardcover book tour and "FReep her like a rented mule."

The mule (donkey?) is back for more FReeping as she promotes the paperback release of "Living History" (aka, "Lying History"). Watch for low-flying brooms descending to a bookstore near you. This will present you with an opportunity to peacefully protest her.

Yesterday, Hillary's security ran off Doctor Raoul at a NYC FReep of her.

Mrs. Clinton is scheduled to begin booksigning at 7:30. Being there at 6 PM will allow us to peaceably disagree with her Kool-Aid drinking worshipers who wait in line.

When: Wednesday, April 20, at 6 PM to about 8:30 or 9 PM

Where: Books-A-Million (Dupont Circle) 11 Dupont Circle N.W.

Bring: Signs

Weather: 70s and cloudy

We don't have a permit for this demonstration, but one is not required as we are likely to be under the 25 person limit.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No profanity, no violence, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

This is the heart of liberal DC so watch your fellow FReepers' backs and be alert.

[BillF]

Let's do it again like we did last summer!

Looks like I'm going to keep my perfect attendance record intact. I'm catching a flight to the Palmetto State tomorrow so I miss out on the fun, again!

[CyberAnt]

Okay - let's make sure we have a copy of the regulation which says - no permit is required for a group under 25.

Don't allow these goons to run us off again!!

[BillF]

I miss out on the fun, again!

Have a safe trip! Do you suppose Hillary scheduled this to steer clear of your booming voice?

So you won't be taking the antacid after post-FReep gustatory over indulgence.

[freekitty]

Promoting a paperback book? When does this so called "woman" work?

Go get her freepers.

Hillary got a (slightly critical) mention in today's "Greta Wire", By Greta Van Susteren, titled "Where's Hillary?". Below is an excerpt...

Which brings me to another issue. Many of you have asked me why I don't interview Senator Hillary Clinton (search). I would like to interview her (I did interview her at a previous network and I am sure she enjoyed the interview.) The answer to why I have not interviewed her since I have been at Fox is easy: Her office won't return calls to me. I have tried calling her office, but I have had no luck. I can't get my call returned.

Frankly, it is the only U.S. Senator's office that has declined to return my personal calls. Staff members usually have better manners in my experience. I confess I have not tried in the last few months -- at some point one gets smart and figures out that the exercise is futile. I am a bit perplexed why I can't get Senator Clinton on the show especially when she has done many shows talking about her book and our show is easily winning the ratings contest in the 10 p.m. ET slot. As an aside, no member of the Senate has ever complained about my interviews of them.

I have also been asked many times by viewers to update the Terri Schiavo case. I would very much like to do a few segments on Terri Schiavo since her case raises many very important issues. I am fortunate in that, because I have an hour every night, I can always find time for these very important issues like the ones that Terri's plight raises. Any time her family, or her husband wants to come on the show to talk about Terri, I will gladly have them. Note: I have also asked Governor Jeb Bush to talk about his role in this case, but he is shying away from talking about it. Like the Schiavo family, he has an open invitation.

" i usually need at least 72 hours notice to get off."

Nope, ain't gonna do it, not gonna go there. Wouldn't be prudent.

[YourAdHere]

Go get 'em guys!

[Trteamer]

Don't forget the boombox and "Hillapalooza, The Book Tour Soundtrack". LOL!

Wishing all you FReepers a wonderful time.

[3D-JOY]

I am in Virginia now and will see if I can get into DC tomorrow. I will keep watching for any more information posted here.

[BillF]

Metro is probably the best way to go. Dupont Circle on the red line is the stop.

[walford]

Thanks for the heads-up, but a bit short notice. I'll be in class, writing term papers, studying for finals, annoying professors until mid-May.

Be there in spirit.

[kristinn]

It'll be great to see you again. Hope you can make it.

[buffyt]

GO FREEPERS GO!

I wish I lived in NY so I could vote against Hillary!
