Thanks; he was good. Sorry I missed that time period here on FR.
In those days there were Freepers protesting alongside the nation's busiest streets. We had the "Freeper Air Force" (often compliments of the great "Gonzo") toting banners with political statements over filled sports stadiums. Chapters in every state had occasional "conventions" (in fact, a lifetime ago I organized the first such convention at the Marriot on International Blvd in Orlando).
In those days we were simply standing on principle. We were the "Tea Party before the Tea Party".
