I have been in contact with the South Florida Tea Party & we are coordinating our efforts to go together to DC. As they have made arrangements to charter a plane, it makes sense for all of us to go together. The more people on the plane, the less per person. It would mean everyone from Broward would have to drive up to the airport in Palm Beach County. This is slightly inconvenient but would still probably be the least expensive option for those of us in Broward. They will have complete information & will be posting updates on their website: www.southfloridateaparty.org/If you are planning to go to the rally in September, please contact the above website. I will continue to add updates on this "Thread".

You're one step ahead of me! I haven't signed up yet. Too busy with the 4th of July rally.
I've asked the Palm Beach people if they are doing anything to reserve a block of rooms for everyone. We'll be staying a few days & rooms can be hard to find. They haven't responded yet.

I asked the same question about 4 days ago and haven't received a response yet. I will let you know if I hear back. I saw on the 912dc.org website that they have a few hotels that they have booked blocks of rooms at discount rates but was waiting to hear back if our group was going to try and stay at the same location/

Yesterday, I spoke to Karin Hoffman of DC Works For Us. She has a travel agency & said she can get blocks of rooms outside of DC & then get a chartered bus to bring us in. I emailed the South Florida Tea Party about this.
