The Reason Rally is going to be a HUGE event in Washington D.C. sponsored by many secular organizations such as The Secular Coalition of America, and The National Atheist Party. It will have speakers like Adam Smith, Richard Dawkins and even Bad Religion;s Greg Graffin with be there.

In addition to supporting this event the National Atheist Party is also having a Raffle where you can enter to win a free trip and hotel at the Reason Rally.

I thought many of you on here would be interested in the event. Just the list of speakers makes me want to go. It will be interesting to see what kind of turn out there will be as it has been getting alot of press coverage but the atheist community

My husband and I reserved our seats on the Reason Rally bus yesterday.  We are so stoked (and fervently hoping we won’t be the oldest people on the bus, we are both in our 50s).  Anybody else here from Indiana going?

I’m going to try. I think they are offering discounted rates and I know a bunch of ppl from ISU are going so I might try to hitch a ride with them. I am so excited about this event. I’m excited not just about the events but also to see the diversity of the people gathered there.
I’ll find a way to get there!

If you can attend, let me know. I’d like to meet you. My wife and I are also going to the dinner the night before the rally. The speakers will be there, so I hope to meet/greet some cool folk!

I’m saving my Nickels and Dimes, Hoping to meet some cool like minded people. I know that the Student Secular Alliance from ISU are urging their members to go. There are going to be so many people I can’t wait to me from the various Atheist and Secular groups going. I wonder how the press coverage will be. Seeing as its in DC you would think they would cover it.
If I do manage to go to the Rally I will definitly be at the Dinner before. There is alot going on at the Rally, I’m almost disappointed that I wont have time to explore the city itself. Never been to DC

There is not actually a whole lot to see in D.C.,believe it or not - so don’t feel too bad.  If I can get off work I’ll show up,as D.C. is only 30 minutes away from me.

I I would just like to see some old architecture…. or an old Library. I’m originally from Chicago so I know that Big cities always have secret treasures….. and dark scary alleys
