Dear FReepers,

We need your help to keep this FReepathon moving. Now into the second month of the fundraiser and we're catching up, but still lagging behind the pace. Hopefully it'll keep going strong so we can complete it in the next few weeks.

Free Republic stands for God and Country!! We defend Life, Family, Constitution, Liberty!! And we defend our God-given, constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms!! TO THE HILT!!

FR is funded solely by contributions made by like-minded liberty loving people who enjoy and use it.

We are beholden to no political party. No outsiders, no sugar daddies, no advertisers, no corporate string pullers. No government grants and no tax subsidies. Just you and me, baby and we need each other.

We are self-funded, fiercely independent and enjoy our freedom to speak plainly in the defense of liberty.

But we cannot do it without your support.

If you have not yet made your donation this quarter, today would be an excellent day to do so.

Every donation counts no matter how big or small. If you can donate $5, $10, $20 or more, it would be greatly appreciated.

Your loyal support makes Free Republic possible and your continuing participation makes FR the leading INDEPENDENT, pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense, pro-gun, grassroots conservative forum on the Net!!

And we're going to need FR now more than ever to combat the current crop of Marxists, fascists and progressives who have infested our government and public institutions and who are dead set on destroying the final remnants of our cherished constitution and our precious God-given Liberty!!

Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction. --Ronald Reagan

NOT ON MY WATCH!!

Never surrender!! Never retreat!! Never give up your guns!!

Make it a monthly if you can. We currently have some very generous FReeper sponsors contributing an extra ten dollars for each new monthly signed up, so here's a chance to get a little extra bang for your buck!!

I_be_tc's $100 challenge:

FReeper I_be_tc donated $100.00 last week and challenged 300 others to match. Fifty-five FReepers have met the challenge so far. If 300 FReepers would follow through, this FReepathon would end quickly!! Woo hoo!! Thank you very much, I_be_tc!!

And Gene Eric sends in $100 and will match another $100 if some one answers his challenge before the end of day Wednesday!! Thank you very much, Gene Eric!!

Thank you all very much!!

Your loyal support is greatly appreciated!!

God bless you and God bless America!!

In 1941, U.S. Attorney General Robert Jackson called on Congress to enact national registration of all firearms. Given events in Europe, Congress recoiled, and legislation was introduced to protect the Second Amendment. Rep. Edwin Arthur Hall explained: "Before the advent of Hitler or Stalin, who took power from the German and Russian people, measures were thrust upon the free legislatures of those countries to deprive the people of the possession and use of firearms, so that they could not resist the encroachments of such diabolical and vitriolic state police organizations as the Gestapo, the Ogpu, and the Cheka."

Rep. John W. Patman added: "The people have a right to keep arms; therefore, if we should have some Executive who attempted to set himself up as dictator or king, the people can organize themselves together and, with the arms and ammunition they have, they can properly protect themselves. . . ."

And, so, our detractors say Hannity was driven from FR by our nuttiness. But what does Hannity say?

Clip from a recent radio show:

hannity.wav

Excerpt:

Hannity: Drudge Report is my favorite.

Question: Which one to you go to more? Huffington Post or Breitbart or Drudge?

Hannity: My home page is the Drudge Report and Hannity dot com, but I would say next on the list right up there is Breitbart.

Question: And then right after that? Huffington post?

Hannity: And then I would say I go to Free Republic. And then I go to Lucianne dot co.

Bump!

Our detractors are seldom at a loss for lies and Hannity just confirmed one of their favorites.

[DJ MacWoW]

I’m laughing. I can’t help it. FR is the best place to disseminate news. And FReepers chew on it until every angle has been exposed. It isn’t just the news stories but FReeper discussion that makes this the best conservative site. And everyone knows it.

Awesome! :)

Some of those detractors have blogs, man.

That's the new media and you better respect it.

RESPECT IT!

Bit of good news there.
Good to put a voice to the name.

Some of them have forums where the whiny go to wring their hands and weep. ;-)

Worse, the poor formatting prevents me from donating tissues.

Furious at the December 1773 Boston Tea Party, Parliament in 1774 passed the Coercive Acts. The particular provisions of the Coercive Acts were offensive to Americans, but it was the possibility that the British might deploy the army to enforce them that primed many colonists for armed resistance. The Patriots of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, resolved: “That in the event of Great Britain attempting to force unjust laws upon us by the strength of arms, our cause we leave to heaven and our rifles.” A South Carolina newspaper essay, reprinted in Virginia, urged that any law that had to be enforced by the military was necessarily illegitimate.

The Royal Governor of Massachusetts, General Thomas Gage, had forbidden town meetings from taking place more than once a year. When he dispatched the Redcoats to break up an illegal town meeting in Salem, 3000 armed Americans appeared in response, and the British retreated. Gage’s aide John Andrews explained that everyone in the area aged 16 years or older owned a gun and plenty of gunpowder.

Military rule would be difficult to impose on an armed populace. Gage had only 2,000 troops in Boston. There were thousands of armed men in Boston alone, and more in the surrounding area. One response to the problem was to deprive the Americans of gunpowder.
