Howdy everyone!

Happy New Year!!

2005 was a great year and we're looking forward to an even greater 2006! The Iraqis have held their elections and as democracy and freedom takes hold, it appears the terrorist violence has greatly subsided. We're hoping that the war in Iraq is just about over and that as the Iraqis take over responsibility for their own security, our troops can finally come home. God bless them all. We pray for peace in the Middle East.

On the home front, we see President Bush's numbers on the upswing and our confidence is growing regarding continuing conservative successes in the midterm elections this Fall. Judge Samuel Alito should be confirmed for the Supreme Court in the next few weeks and our hopes for a more conservative court will soon be realized.

September 23, 2006 will mark Free Republic's 10th year anniversary. It's hard to believe that 10 years have passed by so quickly. Time flies when you're having fun. We've been blessed with many successes on Free Republic over the years and are praying for continuing success in the future.

Thank you all very much for making Free Republic the very best conservative site on the web!! FReepers are the greatest!!

May God bless you all with peace and prosperity in the new year and much happiness in all the years to come.

I found FR back during the recount days. Thank the Lord I did. I was going crazy with all the BS talking heads on TV.

I had to drive down to Philly a lot around that time

My youngest had to see a specialist at CHOP and my sister was over Penn Hospital

Anyhow .. every day I would drive down I was yelling at the radio while listening to the news of the recounts

I'm sure that people in the cars around me all thought I was nuts yelling .. FOFL

Since I found FR .. I hardly yelling at TV or in the car anymore :0)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Gotta go put the meat in the freezer...I'll be back in a bit.

KEEP IT GOING!

[Mo1]

LOL ... I can laugh now

But wow .. what a stressful time that was

I didn't sleep for the first 3 days after the election

[Txsleuth]

Texas is STILL first though...

and, I notice that Australia is STILL in the top 4...way to go Aussies...

Now, we need to get more Texans to donate...so that Cali will not take over 1st place.
