Want to volunteer to help Tea Party Patriots while in DC?  We still need volunteers to assist with the Doctor's Rally, the Sign Making Event, to greet fellow Tea Party Patriots, to give out flags, etc. Please fill out this form. We will be in touch with you this week about when and where to volunteer.

The Tea Party Patriots Hub in DC will be the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill:  400 New Jersey Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C., USA 20001.  In addition to having our Sign Making Event at the Hyatt Regency, there will be Tea Party Patriots t-shirts and other gear available, a welcome desk on September 11, and a video hot spot where you can record your voice to tell why you are in DC.  The Hyatt has a huge bar area and a nice restaurant if you would like a place to rest from the other planned activities.  It is within walking distance of both Union Station and the Capitol. 

The Tea Party Patriots Sign Making Event from 8 am - 11 pm on Friday, September 11 will be at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill (400 New Jersey Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C., USA 20001) This will be the best place to go to meet and greet other Tea Party Patriots and to make your signs.  While we will have supplies, it would be helpful if you bring your Sharpies and Poster Markers.  Come stop by for an hour or stay the day.  We'd love to meet you in person.

Where do we meet on September 12?  If you are physically able to walk in the March, we would like you to begin gathering at Freedom Plaza at 9:00 am.  We will march from Freedom Plaza to the West Lawn of the Capitol.  At Freedom Plaza (1350 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20004, Metro Center Red, Blue and Orange lines; Federal Triangle Blue and Orange lines), we will line up by state according to this list.  There will be speakers at Freedom Plaza, many of whom are Tea Party Patriots Local Coordinators, prior to marching.  The March ends and the Rally will officially begin at 1:00 at the West Lawn of the Capitol.  To accommodate as many speaker and musician requests as possible, there will also be speakers on the West Lawn before the official start time at 1:00 but the exact start time of these speakers and entertainers has not been determined.  It will be dependent on how quickly the staging and audio equipment will be setup.

Planning to visit your Congressman and Senators while in DC?  Be sure to call their offices to schedule a time to visit.  It will probably be best to visit in groups of 5 - 12 or so people.  If you know of others from your area going, get a group together and visit the office.  If the Congressman or Senators are not available, you might ask to visit with the Chief of Staff or other staff member.
