CONGRATULATIONS

EVERYONE!!!

[Gabz]

thanks Gabz, you are a great friend.

I just tell it like it is - which is why you and I always got along.

[Jen]

Do I need to post them all again??? There was no Reno cheerleader. (Maybe you're confusing Uncle Janet with Daschle.)

(But, not to disappoint you... I hear she made the squad and is practicing in case the cheerleaders are needed for the next FReepathon.)

[Grampa Dave]

Great reply!

If 10% of those who come to Free Republic or 8,000 Freepers signed up for a simple and painless $5/month auto payment. We would raise $120,000 / quarter.

Unless a Freeper is a poor college student or on a real limited income, $5/month is very easy to find. Just make the pledge and then cut $1.25 out of your weekly expenses and you are there!

How many of us subscribe to a worthless left wing fish wrap posing as a newspaper. Cancel that subscription and send the monthly charge you pay each month to Free Republic. Then you have done two good things. First of all you no longer fund an organization that hates America, your family and you. Then, you fund Free America where America, your family and you are protected!

[Gabz]

You mean like this????????????????????????

[codebreaker]

One for the ladies..

[foolish-one]

Just paying for the ticket that entitles me to preach, question, complain, laugh and generally make a fool of myself.

[Jen]

Then you have done two good things. First of all you no longer fund an organization that hates America, your family and you. Then, you fund Free America where America, your family and you are protected!

Make that three things. One less dead tree.

[Constitution Day]

You are part of the axis of evil!

[BADJOE]

Me too. But aint it fun? : )

[areafiftyone]

Thank you. :-) SIGH!!

[Happygal]

Geez, those Hooters girls, sure do get about ;-)

[codebreaker]

For victory and freedom!

[RottiBiz]

Hear! Hear!

Beautifully written, Gabz.

I'm saving that post for the next FReepathon!

[francisandbeans]

Here's number three. You are a redneck honkey ! Get Lost.

Such love, Joe...such love.

[Gabz]

I've got no problem with someone saying they are leaving FR, especially when they state a reason (even if I don't agree). But to state it and then not go through with it - that to me is childish.

But to then come back issuing the same comments - you're right it is not honorable.

Heck - I can forsee, sometime in the future my tellig everyone I will be gone for awhile - I figure (if and) when I finally sell my house, I'm going to be out of the loop for about a month. But I am stating a reason and a time - no problem!!!!

[codebreaker]

These gals 'volunteer' when they arent working their way through school..(bad pun, I know)

[Gabz]

it was faster than the pbs telethon...lol

Anything is faster than a PBS telethon!!!!!!!!!!

This is the total as of earlier this morning showing totals per state.

All I can say after the BADJOE Monthly Bomb and the WIMom NNL Fund Auction is, "Wow." This should be the next-to-last States' Challenge update (I have a feeling there's enough in BADJOE's CC Machine to push us over $80,000), so here it is.

FReepathon State Challenge: (thanks, 2ndMostConservativeBrdMember, for starting this up so many FReepathons ago)

During every FReepathon, we try to keep track of what each state donates. When you make your donation, let BADJOE know what state it's coming from, and when he reports it, it'll get credited to the state or country of your choice.

If someone from New York, Florida and Virginia (the last top 5 states without a color), any foreign countries and a deployed serviceman wants to see their state/country in color, sing out. It would look so much better than the bold I have now.

We have distributed the $6,579.45 that was in Never Never Land at midnight CST 3/8/2002 to Calofirnia because they donated the most money between 6 pm CST 3/6 and 11:59 pm CST 3/7. Thank you all for a successful FReepathon. Without all the donations, bumps, thread bombs, words of encouragement, and other things that my sleep-deprived brain can't think of, it wouldn't be successful.
