Now hear this:
Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for 30 days. No non government approved electioneering messages may be transmitted over the internet for the 30 days immediately preceding a primary election.
That is all.
The above exercise was just a drill. But if John McCain has his way with his proposed rules for regulating political free speech on the internet, this is how we will be forced to operate in the coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
If the thought of losing your right to express yourself online makes you mad, it is high time you let Senator John McCain know how you feel.

Well, one thing's for sure.
We can't fight without the help of talk radio bringing up this violation of free speech starting tomorrow.
Thanks Jim, for waking us up in here...and giving me a reason to appreciate Hannity once again.

Heads-up to California FReepers --- There will likely be McCainiac FReep opportunities in California this politicking season as McCain campaigns here for the Gubby.

OK, set up a mirrored site in Texas. If they have already had their primary, it won't be against the law. After the primary in California, boot the primary server back up!
For the general election in November, set up a mirrored server in the Bahamas.

To: Jim Robinson
We have to find some way to get this to the USSC quickly before something like this really does happen. Shutting down FR would be the same as telling people they couldn't gather at a water cooler to discuss politics. That's basically what we are, a gathering place for discussion.
We don't produce political ads, we don't (as a group) give contributions, we allow open discussion.
They can't stop us, we'll just meet in Germany or some other country.
