FR Needs A Request Section

One of the best things about Free Republic is that so many people from various fields read it. Very often people are researching a specific subject, but they are missing an important piece of the puzzle, a bit of information, even a photo.

For instance, I would like to put together a compilation of the bogus material used by John Kerry's anti-war group, Vietnam Veterans Against The War. Specifically, I would like to find the photo that I am sure I saw on FR of bogus war vet (and VVAW head) Al Hubbard together with John Kerry on "Meet The Press." I have tried using FR's seach engine. I have tried Googling. But to no avail.

How handy it would be if I could just type in that as a request and it would show up somewhere that the person who first posted the photo might see.

If it is possible to put a small box on the front page with a rotating list of specific requests, I think it would help improve this site as a research tool.

Just a thought. I hope I'm not being too brazen in suggesting it. But it would be very handy to have such a thing.

I hope I'm not missing the point here (again) but I'd like to see a revealing photo of Linda Carter.  Can anyone help me with that?

Is this the picture?

Good start!

I'd like to join the "more photo's of hot chicks" coalition.

[Hon]

Yes. Thank you!

(See how well it could work?)

Well, ask John Robinson about it. With the volume and diversity of threads, it sounds difficult to me.

I note that your question about Kerry photos is being answered by two Freepers, so far. :)

Criminy, #9 should have also been addressed to you, oh master programmer.:)

[RandallFlagg]

How about a section on the front page where FReepers can submit their names to be compiled onto a, "Ping List," for research? Any FReepers that have the time and resources can place their FReeper names onto the list and it'll be stored as a clickable link for requests.

Believe me, I echo your request and have been on quite a few hunts for quotes, dates and links myself. Perhaps it could be added to the Bump List for those mastered in the art of research.

NO one, I repeat, NO ONE should be allowed to look that good........it hurts the immage of the rest of us !! LOL!

I've been "requesting" an "environmentalism" topic for years. Expect a long wait.

[tdadams]

Not to say that you're not looking hard enough, but I've stumbled into that photo on a couple of threads already.

[TSgt]

How about a job section or "networking" section for people to post their availability?

[RandallFlagg]

It would also help if any Rush 24-7 folks could be on this list. He's got MASSIVE amounts of data in his "Essential Stack of Stuff."

[Petronski]

I was going to suggest such a section too, but I didn't know where to post the request.

I am also strongly opposed to picketing, but I do not know how to demonstrate my opposition.

Is that Kerry behind Jane?
