Curious if anyone is attending this event. I know I will not be able to and wish it were closer to me. Hopefully they change the location on every event they hold.

Washington, DC.......not the center of the universe, I'm partial to Chicago, but St. Louis, Minneapolis, Nashville would be awesome.

PFC Joseph Levi That is way too far for me my friend. Like you I would really like to attend. Maybe as they get bigger they can hold some in other cities throughout the country.

I find it interesting than most responses thus far are the same as my own. Would like to attend but, no, too far. Distance equals expense so you can add that to the list of reasons for not attending. What's interesting about this (at least to me) is that the same is true for almost every aspect of the federal government. Sorry, it's too far removed from the electorate. Too far to attend their meetings. Too far to visit their memorials. Too far to know what's going on. (This last is exacerbated by the fact that there are no longer any journalists to act as our watchdogs. Today's pseudo-journalists are little more than propagandists flying cover for those of a certain ideology.) Maybe we need a new question. As a matter of fact, I think I'll ask it: Is it time to move the nation's capitol? Where to?

DC is a bit far. Something in the Midwest would be better.
