I think we find FR when we’re ready, as it’s not for the faint of heart:)
God Bless you Jim, and thank you for this labor of love. IMHO Free Republic succeeds because of the integrity, intelligence and accountability of its members.
I am sure that is true for many folks, but I was ready to meet up with conservative patriots long before I was told about Free Republic! It was a wonderful parent of a former student who told me about FR. I got home from school went to FR and ended up joining that very day!
