Twenty-four years ago today, I “officially” became a FReeper. I had attended the March for Justice on October 31, 1998, and that event convinced me the FRee Republic was the “right” place to “hang out.”
Having “lurked” for a few months prior to the March for Justice, I was delighted to meet so many like-minded people, all of whom came to WDC on their own nickel, to exercise their First Amendment Rights and protest the Clinton administration. March for Justice video
It was the first of many “FReeps” I attended in the WDC area (and elsewhere over the years) before I had to move to Florida in 2004 to attend to my late mother.
In the period of time I was in WDC, the WDC FRee Republic Chapter was VERY actively protesting against Bill Clinton and the LIEberal scumbags who were (and still are!) intent on overthrowing our Constitutional Republic. Our FRiday night “We Support Our Troops” Walter Reed Army Medical Center FReeps are most memorable. Scroll down to the DC Chapter “DC Chapter AAR – WRAMC DOG DAYS OF SUMMER ARRIVE” thread.
Once “hooked” on the AAR, you will find many more interesting threads about FReeper activities down stream FRom that one.
I am posting this "vanity" to thank all of you with whom I have interacted with over these past 24 years who have had a positive influence on my life via FRee Republic. Since I would invariably leave out someone (there are WAAAAY too many to name), I'll just say "Thank you FReepers!"

Finally, thank you JimRob, and your family for providing this forum and allowing us to discuss the important matters of our time!
May OUR FRee Republic continue to flourish!
Eagles Up!
Congrats!
Read you for years.

Congratulations to another “long hauler.”
Did you attend the March for Justice?
As has been pointed out to me more than several times, I am a “NOOB!”
Congratulations!
I checked with NSA and your sign up date is June 16, 2000.
Congratulations, Taxman! It’s been a pleasure to be acquainted with you for many of those years!
I’m a relative newbie. Only 21 years for me.
Long haul, though!
Congratulations!
Thanks!
I have truly enjoyed every minute. Never met a FReeper I didn’t like!
Thank you!
It turns out that I am a “NOOB!”
Oh well; somedays you are the bug, other days you are the windshield!
“Decidedly worse now,” YES!
But I believe we are, as a nation, on the cusp of something REALLY SPECIAL!
The LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Communist/Fascist Democrats are about to be turned out into the cold, harsh world, thoroughly defeated!
We had 4 years of President Trump Making America Great!
Followed by what will turn out to be the greatest scandal in recorded history — the Democrats THEFT of the 2020 election.
Followed by the most inept, anti-American administration in recorded history!
We have had an up close and personal view of pro-American and anti-American administrations, and I predict that We the People will return President Trump to office in 2025 and he will set us on the Right Path!
You heard it here first!
Thank you!
The “ride” is not over!
YUP!
Every minute of it!
We are FAMILY!
Is this an OPUS?
Persist, persist, persist!
We gotta persist!
I have never been as comfortable with ANY group as I was with those 5,000 or so FReepers that day!
And, as the years rolled on, it just got better!
Did you attend the FReeper Inaugural Balls?
Nolw, those were PARTIES!
Hangin’ tough!
Naw..it wasnt about that. Bill Bresnan sold his company about 1999 or 2000. That was Bresnanlink and he sold to a cable company. Anyway, it got legal and all that before it was settled and we had to wait for the smoke to clear and all before they offered us access.
If I remember it all correctly.
Anyway..we got a friend. I think Gosar would get on board with a fair tax system. And I am in favor of it because that would gather taxes from the anyone who got into this country illegally.
His take is that in a case of rising inflation, the tax rate would have to drop equally to the inflation rate.
So if it was pegged at 15% at the cash register, and the inflation rate is 8 per cent, the tax rate would drop 8 per cent.
Boy would that put the crimps to the fed hey?
Long haulers coming out all over!
Congratulations!
I remember the MOAB!
The WRAMC FReeps were ALL memorable!
Especially the “after” FReep with the soldiers and their families!
I have been called a “NOOB” A LOT tonight!
And, I’ve been here 24 years!
LOL!
YUP!
So ‘twould seem!
