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
I promised Gabz that I won't mention it again. Today.
Humpty Bumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Bumpty was having a ball
And all the strange lib'ral women and men
Couldn't get in to the Whitehouse again.
I've only had one cuppa coffee -- be kind. lol
Riding lessons will be as close to her acquiring a pony as we get.
She's already bugging me about pony penning and that isn't until the end of the month...........this is going to be a VERY long summer!!!!
Swim lessons are over next week and soccer camp doesn't start until the begininning of August, with Bible camp to follow that. heck it's costing me more in gas than anything else this summer! Taking her to swim lessons is a 50 mile round trip......thankfully the price of gas has started coming down!!!!!!!
For only working on one cup - you're doing great!!!!!
Get a pond.
LOL! Great tagline!
Possible Taglinus FreeRepublicus?
Great poem -- great premise!
C'mon everyone, if you all give even a modest check, we'll be out of this Freepathon soon!
I get ponds everytime the dang dog digs a hole in the yard!!!!
Not big enough to swim in.
You too, huh?
My "special needs" dog/horse has attempted contact with China via our back yard, and has developed a taste for aluminum. Yuppers, he ate the first coke can he found.
We have friends that come over quite often and look at him and just shake their heads muttering, "special needs....special needs..."
A pool the size I want is just not in the budget.
We decided we're going to join the Recreational Association that runs the pool where she's taking her lessons next year. had I known about it earlier in the year I would have done it........but I only found out about it when I read the bit in the paper about the swim lessons.
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
My husband has been referring to our old girl as a "special needs" child for most of her nearly 12 years..............he swears the state should have been subsidizing us for feeding her!!!
Pools are expensive. Ponds are cheap.
There is something with the water table and county regulations that don't allow for a manmade pond.
Heck I can't even put in an inground pool - it has to be above ground.
But you could say the dog did it.
For some reason I can't access the link where I can donate with paypal, any more links? Thanks in advance.
Am I logged on???
I HATE MY COMPUTER ... sigh .. that felt better
FNC ALERT **** Marlin Brando dies at 80
