..I hate it when old friends part ways.I may be a relative newbie but I was lurking during the 2000 elections.

Free Republic helped me keep my sanity during the recount(That's one reason I owed FR).

I signed up in time for the war in Iraq.We shared all the latest in the Situation room.(There's another reason I owe FR)

I get the latest news and share opinions with others.(That's another reason I owe FR)

I've also found a delightful group to chat with,supportive and fun.(another reason I owe FR)

I get to read John Huang2's essays.(another reason I owe FR!) I'm so glad I finally donated!!It feels good!

I have been a monthly donor now for several years...I wish I could give more.

FR was my haven during the 2000 election...and now, especially now, with the war in Iraq and my husband fighting there, FR has been my rock...there are so many wonderful people here that have helped and supported me and my husband.....total strangers from all over the US sending letters and packages to my Mike....enouraging me daily to stay strong......without FR, I would be lost.
