Freedom Drive: Status Update STATUS UPDATE The weather forecast for DC for tomorrow’s event is perfect: SUNNY and mid-50s!Get your family and friends to DC and experience this historic event! The latest agenda has been posted. Live music begins on stage at 10 AM. Hundreds of people have been gathering at rally cities along the route from the West Coast. Last night in Indianapolis the large convention meeting room was packed. Reports were that several hundred vehicles coming in from the Southeast were experiencing traffic problems today (Wednesday) coming up I-95 from Florida and states along the eastern seaboard. Well-wishers have been seen in many locations along overpasses waving flags and yelling support as the drive speeds eastward. One "casualty" was the Tyranny Response Team bus that broke down in Salina, Kansas. The 15 passengers were renting a number of other vehicles and will catch up to the Drive in Maryland by tonight. There has, of course been a virtual media blackout of the Drive to date. The documentary film crew has been with the Drive since Denver. Schulz remarked that the drive is gathering substantial momentum in the final hours and that there is a growing anticipation about the Moment of Truth as it unfolds tomorrow. The main stage has been constructed and the video and satellite trucks for the internet webcast and satellite TV video feed are being set up early tomorrow morning. All the major news agencies across the country, including the Associated Press and the DC press "circuit" have been sent press releases and the agenda of tomorrow’s events. The lead manager for C-SPAN has been sent a personal note from Bob Schulz inviting C-SPAN to cover the event. Tonight, drivers from all directions gather for the final leg the big rally at the Howard County Fairgrounds north of Frederick Maryland at approximately 7 PM. Staging for the last leg of the Freedom Drive begins at 6 AM Thursday at this same location and the drive heads out to DC at 7 AM sharp. Click here for details.Even the FBI is taking notice. Agent Mark Holstlaw from the Denver FBI office attended Sunday’s rally in Denver at the bequest of FBI headquarters and sat with the sizeable rally crowd. After the meeting he contacted Bob Schulz and told Schulz that he "thoroughly enjoyed" the speeches by Schulz and the former IRS agents and would report to headquarters that any fears the FBI "may have had" about our efforts are completely unfounded. Holstlaw even offered the FBI’s assistance in DC and referred Schulz to an agent in the DC office that will help us if needed.
