Click here to contribute to the TeaPartyExpress fund!
And finally, we need help with our DC events and convention expenses. Whether or not you are attending our events in DC, if would like to help someone else attend or help us meet our general event overhead expenses, please consider donating to our Convention Fund. We've already had three FReepers donate the price of a ticket ($175) so others can attend. Thank you FReepers!! Please mail your checks to Free Republic, LLC, PO Box 9771, Fresno, CA, 93794 and include a note or the words "Convention Fund" on the memo line. Or if you'd rather donate via credit card or PayPal, please use our secure server link and just include "Convention Fund" in the comments field so we can break your donation out and report it separately from our FReepathon totals.
Thank you all very much!!
See you in DC!!

The Purple People Beater (sung to the tune of The Purple People Eater)Well I saw the thing comin out of the left
It wore a union label, and yelled a threat
I commenced to shakin and I said ooh-eee
It looks like a purple beater to me
It was a S E I U union purple people beater
(S E I U union purple people beater)
A democrat, left-wing, union purple people beater
Sure looks strange to me
Well he came into town and he came up to me
I said Mr. Purple People Beater, dont beat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldnt beat you cuz youre too tough
It was a S E I U union purple people beater
(S E I U union purple people beater)
A democrate, left-wing, union purple people beater
Sure looks strange to me
I said Mr. Purple People Beater, whats your line
He said its beatin honest people and it sure is fine
But thats not the reason that I came to land
I wanna beat people for Obama my man
Well bless my soul, pipe and club, union purple people beater
Weather underground, union purple people beater
(S E I U)
Union purple people beater
Sure looks strange to me
And then he swung his fists knocking people to the ground
He started to fight, kicking people around
He sung a crazy ditty as he swung his fists
Singing boop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom
Well bless my soul, pipe and club, union purple people beater
Weather underground, union purple people beater
(S E I U)
Union purple people beater
Sure looks strange to me
And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was fighting it out, areally knockin em dead
Pushing down old ladys and kickin them in the the head
(clarinet solo)
