Happy FRanniversary! I hope to celebrate many more in years to come!!

My only wish for the next 15 years is that we remember and focus on the real enemy & not be attacking each other

That is so true, the real foe / enemy of individual freedom is an al-encompassing Stat-ism / Socialism mindset.
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men
and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.... Ronald Reagan

"A special remembrance of MrConfettiman’s post: “I was there - where were you?”

Mr Confettiman was a great person. I followed his diary of his battle with Geoblastoma cancer of the brain and was so happy that he lived as long as he did with it. My husbands brother had the same thing and only lived about a year after the diagonosis.

Then something happened and many of us lost our original sign-up date and member number.

I thought so! I know I was one of the early ones, long before the 1998 date shown for me. There was a guy, I won't mention the name, who was collecting donations under his own PayPal account rather than Jim's. When that was discovered and corrected it may have affected the rest.

By the way, what ever happened to Clarity, Bryan Buckely, who helped with the law suit fight against the WoPo, NYTimes, LATimes, etc.?

[surfer]

Great post thanks Leni!!! I can’t believe it has been this long!!!

[surfer]

Thanks Kristinn...the 1998 March seems so long ago...Remember how Alan Keyes fired up the crowd that day!!!

"I would die without my freeper fix over coffee every morning."

FR has taken over my "paper" with my morning pot of coffee. I wake up 1 hour earlier each day, with my pot of coffee, to see what I have missed out on while sleeping.

I haven't bought a "newspaper" since FR.
