I just want to thank Jim Robinson and everyone who works at Free Republic for 25 years of this great website.

It will be 25 years for me this coming June. I have gained daily laughs, insights, news, and camaraderie - all due to your original idea, Jim, to start this platform so many years ago. Thanks!

GOD blessed us all with this Jim Robinson fellow...

I never realized I started so close to the beginning. I assumed they’d ALWAYS been here.

No matter what, FR has been my favorite source for news since 1998.

Can’t thank you enough JRob!

Good job EVERYBODY! What a ride!

My first knowledge about Free Republic came on November 3rd, 1998.

I was at a victory celebration of a candidate for a US Senate seat, (Peter Fitzgerald) in a hotel in Schaumburg, IL., and a woman had a NEWSMAX yard sign that she was flashing the crowd with, that had the Free Republic url written on the otherwise blank backside of the sign. The freeping was truly done up right in grand freeper style.

This freeping struck my interest and once back at home and sitting in front of my pc, I brought up the website, and the rest as they say... is history!

I lurked for two years before getting the gumption to sign up and start contributing to the process. Free Republic was a red pilling with a flow rate comparable to a four-inch diameter stiff fire hose coming off a high-pressure fire hydrant.

I didn't arrive until 2005 but FreeRepublic has been my #1 website, every day, ever since.

Thanks aplenty to Jim, John, Chris, and the whole team! FR is the first thing I read in the morning, the last thing I read at night, and about every hour or two all day long (don't tell my boss).

It's simply the best!! God Bless y'all!!

Ditto.

Since 2000.

Was desperately looking for like minded thinkers and found them here.

Thanks, Jim and crew, for giving all of us a place to connect.

One of the best things here, besides Jim, family and FRiends is that the format is not CONTINUALLY updated ALL THE TIME.

I appreciate the interface that remains the same. THANK YOU!

This thread appears to have the largest gathering of the class of ‘98 that I can remember. All thanks to JimRob

Just as soon as the latest freepathon reaches 90 percent, I will be adding a quarterly contribution.
