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
Do I need more coffee, or is Kentucky not on there? I'm a monthly in the bluegrass state! ;-) Or do I need to "re-up"?
Thank ya dearie!
I like the ears back routine.
You can order online at Walmart
Did you get any sleep Mo?
I stayed up most of the night playing with pictures I took last night of the band and the full moon. Got called this morning to work all night tonight on a movie - set in the future. The guy said they will put me in a "fun" costume. I've heard it is really racy -- they wouldn't let my 14 yr old work on it because they say only 16 and up for the material..... It's a major Hollywood production - but that doesn't rule out sleaze.
Of course, there's a couple things you could do to get the Bluegrass State on the board; send a one-time donation (doesn't affect your monthly if you do it as a "one-timer"), or get someone else from Kentucky off their duff.
Yeah, ears back means he's particularly proud of the USA.
You are right, Kentucky is not on there.
We will straighten it out when Jim gets here.
Credit card donors do not have to re-up until the credit card expires, and you should receive a reminder when that happens.
There are 22 monthly donors that didn't name a state when they signed up and are listed as Never Never Land. You might be one of them and it can be corrected by Jim.
The movies sounds interesting .. you'll have to give us what details you can later
LOL!!!!!!!!
I quote jax: "That is so nice!!!"
She informed me the footprints were made from chocolate syrup!!!
Sort of a doggy salute.
Chocolate syrup -- it's what's for dinner!
Hey! Where's the beef?
It's a Mike Judge movie. It was originally named "3001" - but now it has no name. I think Keanu Reeves is in it.
Thank you!!!!!!!!
"I love the lady bug putting the candle on my cake"
We love chocolate syrup in this house!!!!!!
As to the beef....not going shopping until later - so there's the beef!!!
