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
Indy, you sure nailed that one right!!!
My hiccups are coming back just looking at that!!!!
My hubby is Mike too. I think part of the problem is I wake for every little bit of noise. It's the mom thing that never disappated. (My youngest is almost 19) I'm even past the going in cars with boys thingy. After 3 girls, you'd think I'g get over it. Never. Although it still troubles me at times (I know, legal adult and all that, but I still have supreme financial powers), and I'm called a 'prude'. But here's a thought, my kids know what a prude is.
Thank ya, thank ya verah much!
(Piper plays Elvis, and Poppa does his Wilson impression!)
Well? I'm gonna log off and go to bed.
Fawnn...go for it. I do believe you're going to have a hard time tonight...seems like there's a bunch of live-wires still awake. LOL!!!
Sleep well, everyone! Thanks for the forum, Jim.
I thought of that, but he won't wake up. I swear, a tornado could rip the roof off our house, and he'd sleep through it.
The scary thing is that I know exactly where I was and what I was doing 16 years ago...........
Remember what?????????
Nite BG, I'm right behind ya...
Time to saw some logs.. ;-)
Nite to All, see ya on the FReep side. ;-)
Good MOM!!!!!!!!!!

Drunken rantings. Oh, and bear kidnappings. And though I've never said a word about it, I know who threw the lawn chairs in the pool.

Then may I suggest just buying a realy good pair of ear plugs .. it's your only hope *L*
dei vickers and gaughan. and I'll likely regret it.
