Free Republic

Since you can't get ahold of him in Washington, you might try his offices in Kentucky!

On February 4, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler proposed that the federal government reclassify the Internet from an ‘information service’ to a ‘telecommunications service’ in the name of keeping it 'fair' --a plan that came straight from Barack Obama's desk.Of course, this is nothing more than a pass for Big Government to expand its regulatory power at the expense of digital freedom. Like all innovation, the Internet wasn’t created by government… and government certainly has no power to control it. Nowhere in the Constitution is there a provision providing the federal government with power to regulate the free-flow...

ACTION: Contact your Senators and urge them to cosponsor S. 477, the Firearms Manufacturers and Dealers Protection Act of 2015. Operation Choke Point a Threat to the Second Amendment About a year ago, the Second Amendment community was rocked by news that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) had teamed up with Attorney General Eric Holder to utterly destroy firearms manufacturers and dealers by cutting off all credit and banking relationships with them.For its part, the FDIC categorized gun and ammunition sales as a "high-risk business," lumping it in with drug dealers, pornographers, and Ponzi scheme operators -- all of...

(CNSNews.com) -- The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is holding a hearing today to receive public feedback on whether it should create new rules regulating political speech, including political speech on the Internet that one commissioner warned could affect blogs, YouTube videos and even websites like the Drudge Report. The hearing is a response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in McCutcheon v. FEC last year, which struck down the FEC’s previous cap on aggregate campaign contributions from a single donor in an election cycle. Before the decision, individuals were limited to a combined total of $46,200 in contributions to all...

Hi all- Here is a photo and panorama album, starting with an interactive surround panorama, of this year's "Walk for Life - West Coast", held a week ago (1/24) in San Francisco, CA. Come see what it feels like to stand in the middle of a crowd of 50,000 + pro-lifers at the rally in Civic Center Plaza! As well, there are other pictures along the way to the end of the walk.

           Thank You Sarah Palin! One of the most powerful and effective voices for change in American politics has been Governor Sarah Palin. Yet, even some of our conservative friends cannot resist the temptation to join in with liberals to be overly critical about one of her recent public appearances. Governor Palin has been on the front lines of every battle, rallying and motivating voters in a way that only she can. It's no wonder why the recent Public Policy Polling found that Palin is the most liked potential Presidential candidate among Republican voters - higher...

Here are some photos from the ‘Stand with the Prophet’ Rally at Texas Public School Center Curtis Culwell Center. Did they think DFW is nothing but dem voting libs? The "standers" were overwhelmed... The speaker... The next speaker Random shots of the crowd. Random shots of the crowd. Random shots of the crowd. Random shots of the crowd. North side of the street. South side of the street and the crowd went on for a long way. On the west end of the parking lot the "standers" had about a hundred folks. The "standers" are on the left and the...

Real estate magnate and potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will test the waters in the nation’s first-in-the-south primary state, South Carolina, this month. He will deliver a keynote address to the South Carolina Tea Party convention in Myrtle Beach. “I look forward to being with my friends in South Carolina,” Trump said in a statement provided to Breitbart News. “I have always had great admiration for the people and state of South Carolina. It will be a wonderful afternoon.” Joe Dugan, the head of the Myrtle Beach Tea Party and organizer of the annual conference, praised Trump—a solid...

. Free Republic's Jim Robinson has approved this proposal. I'll check my e-mail (provided in the slides) in a few days and see if there are twenty-two (22) folks interested. I'm not here to "command" or "overlord" ... Anyone who feels genuinely called to lead this (proposed) effort should provide their name and e-mail address to this thread's readers. We're all familiar with recent disappointments with John Boehner (etc). This thread is "not" meant to discuss those issues ... rather ... what does the FUTURE look like. The Free Republic "Admin" is asked to closely monitor this thread to delete...

. Today (Tuesday, 2015-01-06) American Patriots suffered a humiliating political defeat with John Boehner’s re-election as Speaker of the House. This article challenges us all to “accurately and truthfully” ask WHY we were defeated today, and except for the Nov-2014 elections, the American Patriot movement has been politically beaten like a dog for the last few years. I’m asking Free Republic’s founder Jim Robinson to send this article to “everyone” at Free Republic, even if he disagrees with my words. My words will be plain, even if it means that I’m afterward banned and exiled from Free Republic. I accept...

The magnificent James O'Keefe!

. Photos of rallies will be posted as they're sent to "Stop-Obama-Amnesty@Engineering-Excellence.US". "Special Thanks" to Free Republic's Jim Robinson and his leadership in this event ("National Day of Reckoning") and the scores of genuine American Patriots who stepped away from their computer keyboards to publicly express their DEFIANCE against Obama's Illegal Amnesty and the political treachery of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell. Godspeed to you All. .

This list should be targeted for calls to vote against Boehner. This list is Members of Congress who co-sponsored the CROmnibus amendment (called the Mulvaney amendment because he was the lead sponsor) that would have defunded Obama's amnesty, yet these Members ALSO voted IN FAVOR of the very rule that wouldn't allow their defund amendment to come to the floor as an amendment to the CROmnibus bill! Mulvaney voted for the rule that wouldn't allow his own amendment to come to the floor! That's voting against your own amendment, making your sponsorship or co-sponsorship of that amendment into nothing more...

. The possibility of Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) replacing a FIRED John Boehner was discussed a week ago in the many announcements for Free Republic's "National Day of Reckoning" rallies across the nation ... What's going to ENCOURAGE the GOP House Members to FIRE John Boehner ? A "massive" tidal wave of protest for this Saturday's rallies across America. That means that "every" Patriot Man and Woman needs to ANSWER the CALL. That means "You" and "I". Be a part of the LOCAL spontaneous rallies taking place in over 265 U.S. Cities and Towns and Overpasses this Saturday. GATHER YOUR own...
