My niece, my sister (fellow Freeper) and I are headed to the March on DC. I still can't believe it. Never done anything like this...especially if it cost me money!
But I sat there the other night and realized: We have to go. After complaining about the government for 20 years, this time I have to do something about it.
So we've bought our plane tickets, booked our hotel. (Marriott at Crystal City/Reagan)
Many of our friends are as angry as we are, but are unable to join us. So they've been enthusiastically passing the hat to support us and have raised almost $200 in just one day! (pledges range from $1 to $20). One lady friend wanted to give us $100 but I told her that was way too much!
If you want to go but can't afford it, try it with your friends (and their friends). You might be surprised how happy people are to feel like they have a part in it and will be represented at the March.
We're still trying to decide whether to join the march or just go straight to the rally site at the Capitol. But we'll be there....ready to rumble!
WHO ELSE IS GOING?
Maybe there's another thread I couldn't find. If so, someone please point me there. If not...let's make this the place we "register" and let others know we're going.
Good deal. I’ll have my red Marine cap on also. Have a safe trip.
tr—will you and the other Freepers be at the Freedom Plaza when the March to the Capitol starts at 11:30 am on Saturday? Should we meet you there?
ALSO, March starts at 11:30AM

Thanks, Mr. T!
Hope to see you here on Saturday.
Three of us are flying in on Friday - out on Sunday. Some of my friends aren’t able to attend, so I came up with a way for them to “attend the rally” with me. They are giving me donations that I will turn into Freedom Works to help offset expenses for the rally. In return, I will put a picture of each donor on my sign. They are my “Back Home Backers”! I have collected over $200 to donate to the cause!
I’ll be there!
I’ll be there!
