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
Plan on doing just that!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Geez .. I'm getting old .. I wanted to do something and then my mind went blank ...
Gotta go find more coffee me thinks
No plans other than watching the Fourth festivities on TV. Love the Boston Pops and their great young conductor, especially.
We live in a beach resort community and we batten down the hatches Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day weekends when it seems the whole Southeast comes here to go swimming.
Can't say as I blame them, though -- we have the best beaches in the world.
Have a great day!
LOL! Yes, it was.
I have to admit, though, that I'm curious who the VP choice is going to be.
As Dick Morris said the other night on O'Reilly's, "If it's Hillary, he'd better have lots of life insirance." LOL!
Hi there, Ed!
I was just figuring a little while ago, based on our present stats, about 32 more donors would take us over the $10,000 per month hump.
Now, wouldn't that be special (Church Lady voice)?
Thanks Lady Jag .. it's just what I need
I'm gonna go work on a new thread BRB
Oh gee....I know exactly what you mean about living in a resort community......
We are doing our dangedest to avoid going anywhere near the highway.....what a mess.
Unfortunately poor hubby has to work tomorrow so will be unable to avoid dealing with the traffic.....hopefully it won't be that bad. For me, the only contact I will have with the highway will be crossing it (at a light) tomorrow going to a friend's and Monday going to swim lessons!!!!
: (
Don't feel you're the only one.
Every day, more than once, I'll be reading the news and remember to do something, charge off to another room in the house at breakneck speed, and when I get there do not have the foggiest idea why I came.
Foggiest -- it's become a way of life.
LOL! That's one of my favorites.
DAMN is right - hubby just told me that.............
Good morning everyone!!!!
10%!!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!
And Mo? The idiot terrorists killing a Marine, a UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SERVICEMAN...OVER THE 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND?
Dumb...really really dumb move.
I'll be praying for his family...INDEED.
That's horrendous! Damn these subhumans to hell.
