Except there is no DC Chapter to plan it

Does Huckabee still have his band?

>>>Except there is no DC Chapter to plan it<<<

Where there’s a will there’s a way. There might not be a DC Chapter anymore, but using the power of Twitter, Facebook, Free Republic, and the likes- I could see it happening. I could see a committee being formed right out of the forum body.

There’s bound to be some freepers in the surrounding states that would step up to the plate.

Of course this is all premature, not because the presidential outcome is in doubt so much, but because the Boss is the final arbiter of the idea, and it would have to be a decision he makes once it’s official... meaning after Trump is nominated in July, in Cleveland.

I honestly don’t know about Gov. Huckabee’s band and it’s status.

Here’s a brief read that some of the newer freepers might find interesting, since Free Republic is mentioned in the first sentence.

Huckabee’s band played at Washington inaugural balls put on by the Free Republic in both 2001 and 2005. In recent years Capitol Offense has honed their sound to such an extent that they have opened for several high profile artists, including The Charlie Daniels Band, Dionne Warwick, REO Speedwagon,[5] Willie Nelson, Percy Sledge, .38 Special, and Grand Funk Railroad.[6] During 2007, front man Huckabee took his musical act on the presidential stump with him, performing numerous times without Capitol Offense during his campaign in Iowa. At one stop, backed by two record store employees, he covered a Chuck Berry song, before answering questions from the crowd at the store.[4] During Huckabee’s 2008 campaign, Boston’s guitarist and songwriter Tom Scholz, a supporter of Democratic candidate Barack Obama wrote to Huckabee, requesting him to stop performing the Boston song More than a Feeling at public appearances. Huckabee was reported to have been regularly playing the song, sometimes with former Boston band member Barry Goudreau (who was a Huckabee supporter).
