The wisdom od Solomon, as always Jim!
This thread should be divided up into two sections, FR posters and FR activists. Posters are highly visible, but many of our strident activists, while doing yeomans work behind the scenes, are not always prolific posters. The toil away in somewhat obscurity, performing their service and accomplishing their goals quietly and only rise above the din of Forum posting in after action reports.
My hat goes off to all FR activists and particularly the Chapter leaders who have taken on the awesome and sometimes thankless task of setting up and running chapters, organizing Freeps and advancing the ball for conservatives. Some are highly visible while others eschew the limelight and quietly go about their business making things happen. To those, you're efforts do not go unnoticed or unnappreciated. Thank you!
When I set up the Free Republic Network I gathered together what I believed to be the best and brightest activist oriented members of FR who would be able to work together as a team and make the FRN a reality. You may recognize some of the names but most of the members of our Board of Directors work hard and long, much of the time in obscurity, but their significant contributions have helped make FR what it is today. They deserve special recognition.
