I don't think FReepmail takes attachments, but if you want, send me a FReepmail letter with your regular e-mail address in it, and which posters you would like to get, and I will e-mail them to you.
They are being attacked from outside the US, so they shut down access . . .
It really s***s, but I have to live with it as well . . .

Proxify.com doesn't allow downloads for unregistered users. Any other ideas?
You can try:
http://proxify.com/
Then just type: http://www.georgewbush.com in their URL area. Worked for me when I tried it. Hope it helps.
Try: www.//.GoOut andPlayintheTraffic.com
Here's another site:
http://www.the-cloak.com/anonymous-surfing-home.html
Do it with http://www.the-cloak.com
The website was closed down by pout of country hackers and they had to do this to keep it open. If you have a cpmplaint take it to the hackers , Probably the DNC.
BTW - the Cloak is sponsorored by the CIA.
OK. The cloak worked. Never heard of that before. Let's shut down the thread now. Thanks to everyone for your help!!!
The georgewbush.org site is a Bush bashing site which looks, on first glance, similar to the .com site.
Interesting, care to elaborate?
It's been this way for over 2 months now. I get their e-mails but I can't reply.

Maybe you didn't realize that a lot of US troops are in "wannabe third world sh***oles" and might, in a spare moment, want to visit President Bush's campaign website to see what all the hoopla is about.
Someone like myself, for instance.
