A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....07-011-05....Military Monday
Billie, The Mayor

A Few of FR's Finest
....Every Day
FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues; salute and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which we can express ourselves.
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.






A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I could no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I had been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.
Still that didn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why we've created a place for just that. This is a friendly room in JimRob's house where FReeper FRiends can gather every day and just say hello if that's all they want to do.
There's more of course. We sometimes feature different FReepers, with a little background information on who they are and what makes them who they are, along with a few photos you might not have seen on other threads; sometimes others write an essay for us to post as the feature for the day; sometimes our presentation is a human interest story found elsewhere that you might not have read; sometimes special holiday threads; but whatever the topic of the day, it is always with FR's Finest in mind and that is YOU!
If you would like to be featured, or would like to see someone else featured, please send me a private FR mail.
Every Monday we will post the photos of FR's Military Personnel that I have collected and put into groups; these will be available to view through a link the remainder of the week - every day just a click away. :)   If you would like to add a photo of yourself or a loved one in the military, past or present, please let me know; I will hold it until I have enough for a new group.
Thank you, and please have fun with us...every day! ~ Billie

Don't put off what you can do today when it concerns relationships. The present is all we can depend on in time. In eternity we can depend on God for.........well, eternity. So, for now Billie, THANK YOU for being such a dedicated and sweet hostess for so many years. We have come to depend on you and the other hostesses who have such talent to present interesting topics and graphics each day.

The interview went really well, I am very comfortable in front of the camera now.

We had top billing. I haven't heard anything about the parade yet.
We are getting in the news and my name getting out there, that's the important thing.

Thank you Nan.

Death is always hard, I am comforted only by the knowledge that one day we will be in Glory together.
My Mom died at 61, I miss her dearly. She got up to go to the bathroom, fell back into bed and died at 5am, 7 years ago. 61, to young.

I have a couple computer projects to do for church. Power point for service Sunday(it will be a BIG, long one & quite involved) & work up all the VBS pix I took, put on CD & copy for all the visitors/members.

About 1800 pix..

Thank *you*. You're such a sweetheart, Nan. Hopefully, it will be a very long while before you lose another close friend/loved one. You've had your three.

Hugs, dear Nan!

Thank you, Mayor. It was fun--and believe it or not, they are getting easier!

Glad the interview went smoothly. Did you post a link and I just missed it? It is wonderful that you are getting some attention finally. This will be good--the more people hear what you stand for, the better for your campaign!

You are a good speaker--I remember the last time you linked to one of your speeches. It was very eloquent! And the message was so good--I wanted to kidnap you and bring you down here! We need men like you here,too! LOL! Ya think your wife would be willing to re-locate? (just kidding--sort of!)

If we lose this election, relocating is very possible.
That will mean this place is doomed and headed for failure.
That is how bad WNY has become.

I have been walking and talking to the people and the message is clear.
They are fed up, tired of the highest taxes in the country, 42% higher than National average.
Gas at 133.9 per gallon, sales tax 8.25%, avg 13,000 per student, per year taxes.
Pensions, pork, patronage, healthcare, medicaid. Irresponsible county and state govt. Spending that Mario Cuomo is jealous of.

RINO's, the whole state. Not a real Republican in a power spot in this state.
Controlled by unions, trial lawyers, insurance companies, pensions.

Thanks for your encouraging words, they mean alot.
We are in a sad state of affairs. Read this file
http://www.ppinys.org/reports/2004/letupstate.pdf

It is pdf and just 12 pages with graphs, easy reading.
I found this and have been promoting these very issues for years. It's common sense, we just need to do it, just do it.. some how, some way.

Good lord, Rus! If the people up there are tired of those horrible figures on taxes, and aren't couragous enough to give you a chance to change things for them, then they deserve what they get, IMHO!

Just keep reminding them. Post that link everywhere you can to compare your part of NY to others especially in the handout department! Maybe you can wake them up. You just do your best, which is to have the truth right out there, and if they reject the truth, then they have no one to blame but themselves!

I wish I, and all your friends here on FR, could do more, but all we have is words. If they will keep you going forward then I will have felt that I did my little part!
