LOL, they are legends.
Kristinn, Anglewood, Dr Raoul.
And I'll never forget Mr Confettiman and that bull neck of his sitting right behind the testilying dims on CSPAN.
For your convenience, I'll post again with links to various direct reports from that event.
DC Chapter (click here for our web site) is quite active, partly because of the tremendous opportunities to peacefully protest liberals here in the DC area. Also, we've held numerous counterprotests to left-wing protests of Bush and the war and held numerous support the troops rallies including C-Span covered speeches by FReepers and invited speakers.
If you want to be added to the DC Chapter ping list, let me know by reply or by FReep mail. For those close to DC, it allows you to be informed in advance and possibly participate in our activities. For those further away, being on the list keeps you informed of our activities.

In August of 1998, members started protesting Clinton outside the White House every Saturday, with few exceptions, until DIRT-XXX-POTUS (disgraced, impeached, rapist, traitor, ex, President of the United States) and his bride left with the White House silverware and furniture.
In November of 2000, members of DC Chapter started the "Get out of Cheney's house" protests against the SoreLoserman holed up in the Vice Presidential mansion.
In the time since then, we have FReeped:
- Hillary at least 6 times including up close and personal last August,
- Bill Clinton appearances in the area (including once when an angry Clinton personally demanded to know who was paying the FReepers),
- Algore at least 3 times,
- Sens. Tom Daschle, Ted Kennedy & Tom Harkin, DNC chair Terry McAwlful, James Carvile, Paul Begala, Cong. Barney Frank, Sid Vicious Blumenthal, Moveon.org and others at various events, and
- ANSWER, Code Pink, and other left-wing protests against America defending itself.

After-Action Report of DC Chapter FReep of White House Correspondents Assoc Dinner
May 2, 2004 | BillF

The D.C. Chapter's Sixth Annual FReep of the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) Dinner took place on Saturday afternoon and evening. Our gathering of eagles included: Angelwood, Kristinn, Staytrue, tgslTakoma, GunsAreOK, Cobol2Java & his wife, Pippin, BufordP, Mudboy Slim, Sauropod, L_Von_Mises, and BillF.
Speaking truth to the power that is the press, FReepers adopted the theme that the media's overly pessimistic coverage of Iraq is getting our troops killed. The media distortions are causing others, both friends and foes of the U.S., to question our resolve.
Although the theme of the evening was quite serious, we had a blast gently chiding the liberals and giving kudos to some of the good guys in the press. We received a more positive response from people passing by than more would expect, considering that the location was one of the most liberal areas in one of the most liberal cities in the country.

You'd be surprised to know where FR Chapters exist. We even have one on the left side of The Peoples' Soviet of Washington (a.k.a The EvergreeD State). I believe we may even have members in Seattle (Sodom on the Sound) itself. (You can see a few in action here).
