And here’s to you,Mr.Robinson,
FReepers love you more than you could know,
Whoa whoa,whoa!
God Bless you please, Mr. Robinson!
Heaven holds a place for those who’re brave,
Hey hey hey...
hey hey hey!!

I am go grateful for the day I found FR. It’s definitely a labor of love.Never have I ever encountered so many patriots in one place.This is America’s crossroads! :)
BTW, is there,somewhere, a thread dedicated to how FR got started? I’d love to see it.

Thank you, gimme1ibertee!!

I have posted about our beginnings before, but I don’t know where the thread is. Basically, I started FR in Sept 1996 to fight against Bill Clinton. I’d been a regular poster on the Prodigy News BBS for a few years, but had recently been introduced to the Internet and thought that we’d have a much wider readership and a freer hand here. Prodigy was a relatively closed system as you had to be a paid subscriber to read or post. And it could be quite expensive if you were a prolific poster like me. Anyway, we’ve been here ever since. Some successes, some losses. Praying for success in November!

Woo hoo!!

We have incoming:

$10 from Alabama
$100 from North Carolina
$30 monthly from Texas
$10 from Missouri

Thank you all very much!!
