Wait a minute. I agree that Rockefeller MUST face an Ethics Comitte investigation. I would believe that whether Free Republic existed or not. What he may have ordered his aides to do, as Zell Miller said, is if not treason then treason's first cousin. If he made the order, he's guilty of the crime and needs to be punished.
We're not an "activist group". Some of us happen to BE activists, others are not. The FR chapters aren't affiliated with Free Republic: they just sometimes set up activites, from rallies to Christmas parties here. There's a difference.
This is being done by the Free Republic Network, not the Free Republic Forum.
