Howdy everyone,
Are you ready for a FReepathon?
The state of our FR is strong!
Our big legal bill is now paid off and our budgetary requirements are now reduced. For the first time in our history, our monthly donations are now bringing in more than 50% of our quarterly budget! Thanks to our generous membership and the settlement with the City of Fresno, we now have a comfortable cash buffer and should have no problems meeting our coming tax payments and other obligations.
I've recalculated our estimated budget requirements for the remainder of the year and have posted them here:

We just completed the first loop of our nationwide tour and we had a great time! We traveled through eleven states in three weeks and FReeped with, met with and dined with FReepers in ten cities and from at least a dozen chapters. It's great to see all our old friends again and to meet new ones. Joining a gathering of FReepers is just like going a family reunion. Very warm and friendly and just like home. Thank you all so much for your gracious hospitality and friendship!
We hope to visit all fifty states and most of our chapters within the next year or so. We hope to visit our LA Chapter on the 1st of August to tour the Reagan Library. We hope to visit our San Diego Chapter sometime this month to welcome home the USS Ronald Reagan. We're also planning a Pacific Northwest Tour in August. In January, we're planning a trip across the South and down into Florida and then up the Eastern Coast to Washington, DC for the Free Republic George W Bush Inaugural Ball II!! Woo hoo!!
Well, with the war in Iraq all but concluded, the trial of the Butcher of Iraq about to start, and the election season heating up, I'm sure that FR is going to be THE place to be to get the very latest in news and conservative discussion in the coming months.
Thank you FReepers for making FR the premier conservative forum on the Internet!
Looking forward to the coming campaign season! Good luck to all and may the very best people be chosen to lead our great nation!
Thank God for our successes thus far in the war for freedom and may He guide us through to complete victory over tyranny and terrorism.
Thank you and may God bless you all.
Jim
HOLY COW, Mo!!!
I'm so happy he had the surgery!!!
Score? I'm probably older, so I win by default because you will defer to me. It's the conservative way. Age has bennies. hehehe.
Yikes....that sounds both good and bad.....
Well, you see, I fell right asleep. Why should I lose my sleep???
Dont' you get tired of nudging them?
Gosh, Indy, I wouldn't know! I usually sleep either alone cuz he's out of town, or JUST with Gramps.
My husband informs me that I always snore - I always told him he was crazy.
Listening to the snoring coming through the wall from our daughter's room - I no longer deny what he says.
You are SOOOOOOOO bad..............
Yea .. but now I need to figure out how to sleep again .. I've even tried Nyquil before going to bed .. doesn't work
But hey .. at least I don't have to worry about him having a heart attack .. I have enough stress to deal with
That's scary stuff. Stay safe, you have friends here, even me. You just let us know if it gets to much for you. You know who the good internet people are and the bad, count me in your good group. Any long standing reliable freeper will come to your aid (isn't this site awesome?), we have a brotherhood, we have bonds stronger than any trash out there can destroy.
Nuh uh! Not me!
Ya, you don't want him having a heart attack....he's way too young.
Mo...incoming mail.
I think "Mom" would be awesome (really biased opinion here). A hummer in Iraq, named mom, that would be totally cool... :)
Why didn't I do these fundraiser threads years ago? You all are a blast.
Ooops .. sorry .. I knew I forgot to do something
OK!!!!!!!!
Mom it IS!!!
Indy, y'all come over here...24/7...you're LOTS of fun, too!!!
Thank you. Even though I know I can rely on my FReeper FRiends - it's a really good feeling when I hear(read) it.
Yes, you!!!!!!!!
Got it and back at ya
I'm not exactly a spring chicken. ;)
BRB ... I gotta kick my computer again
