Looking for anyone wanting to carpool from CA to DC (the whole enchilada or segments thereof)... let me know.

[SC Swamp Fox]

Okay, a new thread, this would be a good time to hit the ping list.

[SC Swamp Fox]

I will be making a straight shot up I-95 from Florence, SC on the morning of 9-11, returning on 9-13. I will have room in my van if any SC/NC/VA Freepers want to catch a ride.

OUR FREE REPUBLIC T-SHIRT DRAWING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN!

We now have nine FReepers who had booked a room at the Sheraton and have now purchased their Convention tickets! WE JUST NEED ONE MORE FREEPER to get their ticket and enter the drawing!

A neat Free Republic.Com T-shirt will be given to the lucky Freeper as soon as we get 10 Freepers in the drawing!

[seekthetruth]

Bump to #5!

[Brytani]

Probably gonna get my rear-end chewed ping list!!

[george76]

Please remove me from your ping list

[JustAmy]

Hmmmm ..... did someone say ping list?

I’ll be right back.

[JustAmy]

Hey ... all of you are on Jim’s Prayer Thread Ping list, so you are getting a special invitation to the DC Convention.

Jim will be there and you can check for yourselves what our prayers accomplished.

Hope everyone can come by the convention and say hello to Jim.

SEE YOU IN DC!

[Brytani]

Bring snacks back with you....

[JustAmy]

Uhhh .... I ate all the snacks. :)

[mylife]

Thanks for the invite.

[JustAmy]

* smile *

Thanks, I couldn’t think of a better place to use that ping list.

[sonic109]

I hope I’m not being out of line here but ( and this Tea Party is a good idea ) but shouldn’t we ALL be down in DC ready to raise holy hell and get the country back form the Marxist ? This sound more like a family vacation weekend.
I see Obama taking this country apart at blinding speed.
Sorry , I guess I guess I see a Tea Party as more of what the original one was.

[mylife]

Wish I could be there.

I’ll be with you all in spirit.

[seekthetruth]

Me too! And just finished chewing on some cayenne peanut brittle. Sounds different, but sure is good! It is peanut brittle with a bite!:)

[JustAmy]

We will all be attending the giant Tea Party on the Mall on Saturday.

I’m also planning to join the DC Chapter at their Friday Night Rally at Walter Reed.

I hope that we can have fun and also raise “Holy Hell”. It is time to let our elected officials know that we want our country back!

If you can’t attend the convention, I hope you will join the National Tea Party on Saturday.

[tubebender]

I already have a date back HERE. If you look closely you can see Mr T Bender in the background...

[Pontiac]

I hope to see him when he stops in Canton, Ohio.

[SC Swamp Fox]

The answer is BOTH. I can raise hell AND hang out with family and FReeper friends.

[JustAmy]

Well ..... since I haven’t seen you for 50 years, how about telling me which of those handsome guys is you?

[JustAmy]

Great .... he will be happy to have you joining the Tea Party Express.

[GOPJ]

Thanks for the information - and the ping.

[tubebender]

I am the guy wearing a blue cap waving a flag...

just over the shoulder of the young man in the costume...

to the left of the flag pole...

and it’s been 55 years.

[JustAmy]

55 years?? Guess that you are right. Where have the years gone?

Hey, you are looking good. Hope you get back to Fresno/Caruthers some day soon.

:)

“GRATE update thread, ladies!

THANKS Syncro! We have a T-Shirt Drawing update too!

We now have 10 Freepers for our drawing as Freeper “Prince Caspian” is our last entry!

The Free Republic T-Shirt Drawing results will be announced at 9:30AM Eastern! Good Luck, Freepers! :)

[Peter W. Kessler]

Great!

I still have a “March for Justice” t-shirt. I bought it from Gene McDonald at Bush’s first inauguration. It was the last MFJ t-shirt he had.

Are there any more?

[seekthetruth]

“I still have a “March for Justice” t-shirt. I bought it from Gene McDonald at Bush’s first inauguration. It was the last MFJ t-shirt he had. Are there any more?”

Hi Peter! I just Freepmailed you and the other T-Shirt entries with the results of the drawing!

AND THE WINNER IS “BASIL”! Congratulations, Basil! See your Freepmail for directions on how to receive your FRee Republic T-shirt!

Thanks to all those who entered the drawing! If you want to order great FreeRepublic.com items, please visit this link:
www.0cents.com.

[ponz7]

The website for Freerepublic T-shirts, etc. is not functioning. Is there an alternative site?

[seekthetruth]

Sorry the link I provided did not work. Another link is at the bottom of this NEW ANNOUNCEMENT! But before you buy a shirt, check my announcement below and enter my drawing!

FREEPERS! I have decided to donate ANOTHER beautiful Free Republic.Com T-Shirt to another Freeper! All one has to do is have a ROOM BOOKED at the SHERATON and PURCHASE A CONVENTION TICKET!

The NEXT TEN FREEPERS who do that will be entered into my SECOND T-SHIRT DRAWING! GOOD LUCK! Jean :) http://www.0cents.com./

[4integrity]

JustAmy, GREAT to hear that Jim will be at the DC Convention!! And, thank you, so much, for the special invitation. It would be great to see Jim and so many of the other WONDERFUL, PATRIOTIC freepers!

It’s hard for me to commit 100% since my Mom is not well. But, I may make it... even if it’s just an overnight trip to be there on the day of the rally. It’s SO important for Americans to show and tell “our” Legislators that we are serious about protecting America from destruction from within....

DC Chapter Master Ping List

THREAD II

[SuperLuminal]

Ping bump...

[JustAmy]

Thanks, 4integrity. The Rally is important to let the Legislators know that “we are coming”. They seem to have forgotten “We the People”.

I hope that you can make it to the convention also. I am looking forward to meeting Fellow Patriotic Freepers. If you could make it Friday and Saturday nights, that would be wonderful.

I will add your Mom to my prayer list. May God hold her in His healing embrace.

[4integrity]

Thank you for your prayers. God has listened to our prayers and HE has blessed us. I strongly believe in the power of prayer.

[seekthetruth]

Hi “4Integrity”!
I hope your Mom's health improves and you can see your way clear to come to DC! It would be a pleasure to meet you!
I am looking forward to meeting JimRob and so many Freepers from across the US! Jean

[potlatch]

Thank you for the ping Amy. I won’t be able to attend but wish good luck to all and continued prayers for JimRob’s health.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Potlatch.

Hope you will be able to meet Jim at one of the Tea Party Express stops.

We will miss you in DC but know you will be with us in spirit.

[potlatch]

[We will miss you in DC but know you will be with us in spirit. ]

Very much so! Thank you Amy.

[seekthetruth]

Just wanted you to know that plans are in the works for having a live stream here on FR during the event weekend in September. If all works out and the live stream becomes a reality, Freepers who can’t make it to DC will get to see at least some of the action! :)

[potlatch]

[plans are in the works for having a live stream here on FR during the event weekend in September]

That would be great! Hope it works out and thanks for telling me.

[MinorityRepublican]

It’s great that FReepers have our own thing going on but if we really want to take off, we have to appeal to general public, especially those who are unemployed. We have to appeal to them and get us join in the streets of DC and protesint.

[Danae]

Ooooooooooo If things look up here I might be able to go! Please say a prayer or two for long term software contract for us! It will make a WORLD of difference!

Thanks!

[surfer]

Can’t wait to see all my fellow comrades in DC on the weekend of the 12th...

One if by land, two if by sea...

[seekthetruth]

THE SECOND FREE REPUBLIC T-SHIRT DRAWING IS UNDERWAY! I know there are many Freepers who have already booked their room at the Sheraton Hotel, but just have not purchased their Convention ticket yet. As soon as I hear that any of those Freepers have purchased their tickets, they will be entered into my second T-shirt drawing! Perhaps folks saw the deadline on booking rooms, which is August 21st, and thought that was also the ticket deadline. A ticket deadline has NOT been set, but we do have some goals to reach in ticket sales. PLEASE HELP US REACH OUR TICKET SALES GOALS BY PURCHASING YOUR TICKETS AS EARLY AS YOU CAN! BE ONE OF THE NEXT 10 FREEPERS TO PURCHASE A CONVENTION TICKET AND ENTER MY SECOND FR T-SHIRT DRAWING!
