Among those receiving special awards will be:
U.S. Army Infantry veteran Lou Priebe, who is helping coordinate the reception’s arrangements, said, “These courageous advocacy groups and individuals richly deserve the recognition which they will receive from their many friends who are profoundly grateful for their invaluable service during the 2004 Presidential election. These staunch men and women made extremely important contributions in helping tell the truth about Kerry’s actual record during and after the Vietnam War and about his lack of fitness to serve as America’s Commander-in-Chief. We’re celebrating the fact that Kerry is not being inaugurated on January 20 and honoring the exemplary people who helped make his absence from the historic day’s ceremonies a reality!”
The reception will begin at 11:00 am in the First Amendment Room of the National Press Club, overlooking the Inaugural Parade route at the intersection of 14th & F Streets, NW.
Thanks, I've been cubicle bound for the past week or so and haven't had a chance to get my daily dose of info. Glad to see Freepers are aware of this silly program.
Is the plan to watch the parade from the warm and cozy indoors, then watch the inauguration on the big screen?
Guests can come and go as they like. There'll be a big screen TV inside, along with a buffet and a nearby cash bar. You can amble downstairs to view the Inaugural events and smile sweetly at the ANSWER commies, then return to the warmth of the First Amendment room at any time between 11am and 4pm.
Probably not inside...

No mask, but here's a pic Registered did.
Maybe it would make a good poster, LOL. 
Sounds like a great event, but many of us had already planned to go to the parade route itself per below quoted thread. By populating that area, that is one less area for the leftists.
Hope that we can have thousands of FReepers, some going to the buffet with Jim Robinson at the National Press Club, others going to the swearing in, and still others going to the parade route per below thread.
ANNOUNCEMENT: D.C. CHAPTER 'SAFE HAVEN' DEMONSTRATION ZONES FOR BUSH INAUGURAL PARADE ROUTE
D.C. Chapter ^ | Wednesday, January 5, 2005 | Kristinn

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic has obtained a demonstration permit from the U.S. Park Service for two places along the Inaugural Parade route for January 20.
They are not what we applied for. However, we will try to make do with what has been offered us.
The two places are close together, but apart. One is a 141-foot-long stretch on the north side of the 600 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. (18 feet deep, total 2658 sq. ft.) The other is a section of sidewalk at 7th Street and Indiana, Avenue, N.W. (11,921 sq. ft.)
Our main purpose in gathering there is to provide a 'safe haven' from violent left wing and liberal protesters for conservatives and other supporters of President Bush.
Being that it is expected that tens of thousands of anti-American protesters will be swarming the parade route, we are calling our areas the American Sectors.
While we are trying to establish an area free from left wing violence, no guarantee can be made of absolute safety. But we will work with law enforcement officers to let them know that we expect to be able to show our support for the President in peace and safety.
Our permit for the American Sectors runs from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Those of you who do not plan on going to the swearing in ceremony at the Capitol are encouraged to come to the American Sectors early and make the day of it. As far as we know, the parade route will be open to spectators and demonstrators sometime in the morning. Once the screening points open up, it will be a competition with the anti-American protesters to fill the public space along the parade route. We expect to have our hands full maintaining the integrity of the American Sectors. Your help early in the day would be appreciated. [emphasis added]
Yeah, I figured you guys were going to the parade route to do that voodoo you do so well, but I wanted to make sure you got a heads up.
Excellent! Thanks.
Yeah. I heard about boycotting all merchants on Inaugural Day. This fammily has had some hard times and worn't be attending the Inaugural :(. However, I vow that I am saving ALL my purchases of necessities for January 20th. My local merchants will certainly see me that day!
Congratulations, Jim!
I see no point in Kerry bashing. It just makes us look like Randy Moss celebrating his last TD against the Packers last Sunday.
As winners, we should be positive about ourselves and the future. We can leave the pessimism and whining to the loser democrats.
Honoring the Swift Boat vets is great. Trashing Kerry is not.
haha! Good work! :^D
After the swearing-in ceremony for President Bush, there should be a swearing-out ceremony for John Kerry.
PING!
Ops4 God BLess America!
Pls send pics of you and hubby @ Ball
I have three Gift cards from three different stores from Christmas. I can hold off another week and use them on the 20th as well. Great idea. These people really are wacky.
VERY nice touch! Having it at the National Press Club - where John O'Neill and the others started to get their message out; and the "national press" tried to ignore them.
