CONGRATULATIONS

EVERYONE!!!

Cheerleader Meagan likes the FR essay idea!

[codebreaker]

Holly thinks testimonials are a great idea from people who love FR!

[Grampa Dave]

Thank you Meagan. At first look, she didn't appear to be the essay reading type.

You called the election tuesday inspite of what the one liberal tried to tell us!

[Grampa Dave]

You did a great job. You are like my daughter in law and what my grand daughter will be like. They see something that needs to be done, and they go where men fear to go, and then they do the job.

I don't know who organizes the work, but I'm sure that they will contact you. If not show up like I do and jump in!

You did a great job! You need to post the revolving things and my words everynight so we can relax and go to sleep.

[Grampa Dave]

Bless Holly!

That's Don Adams (with sister Teri Adams in the foreground). Physicist can give you the background on this incedent where x42 supporting Teamster thugs brutalized Dan and Teri (and Physicist) while they were FReeping x42 in Philidelphia.

Wish Don and Teri were a bit more active on FR, but cercumstances haven't been kind to them since this incident.

But no one can doubt that they deserve the FReeper purple heart for injuries sustained while standing up to tyranny.

[Letitring]

Amen. FREEPERS RULE. :)

[Grampa Dave]

grammymoon like Grampa Dave is a tough grand parent:

The ones who use our pleas as an excuse to complain and/or not give are freeloaders and useless anyway. No great loss.

First, it's the ceaseless begging.... Please don't start an endless stream of Thank-You's

First: There are not enough "THANK YOU'S available to convey my heartfelt appreciation to those hardy souls that stayed up and on for the duration. Second: It is not begging; it is a group of honest, like minded people having fun and doing good at the same time.

If you don't like it, then go on back to DU or wherever but don't try to rain on our parade.

[Grampa Dave]

I did not know that they were Freepers. That mugging happened before I became a Freeper. It outraged me and shows how low the union thugs will go!

[WillaJohns]

Oh, Catspaw, I read your comment as funny and also as an example of the efficacy of the carpet bombing and for that, I thank you!

[zip]

ah yes. The ol' "it's not my job" poster. Very appropriate. Thx for posting it.

[rockfish59]

now, if calif. can only vote the commies out like that!!

[Jen]

Your words were great! I'd post the spiral for you now to help you relax, but I'm at my Mom's house and I don't have access to my FReepathon file where stored my 'ammo.' Just look on a few threads from last night, you will find one. LOL!

I take the comparison to your DIL and grand-daughter as high praise and I thank you for it. It was your awesome 5,000 FReepers Who Care essay last quarter that educated me about how FR is financed and got me to sign on for a monthly donation. I hadn't given any thought to how FR is supported prior to that.

[WillaJohns]

You, dear lady, are a CLASS ACT!

Also, thank you for chiming in as an expert in the fundraising business. Don't you think the tireless freepers did a great job? Some of those carpet bombing posts were uproarously funny. At least they made me laugh. I love this place.

[BADJOE]

You sure earned your wings. It seems every fundraiser we acquire a few more workers in the vineyard of liberty. You certainly were the new star of this one.

The more folks we have reading FR's threads and the more that pitch in with the work of the fundraiser the less time it will take for each of us and the sooner we will reach our goal.

When the donations roll in gangbusters I don't get to follow the thread (or read any other thread), but I am very aware of all the help the fundraising team is getting. Thank you AFVetGal. You are a great bombadier.

[rockfish59]

that's great!!
we don't need no stinkin' PBS gov't. subsidies!

[Jen]

Aw, shucks. (blushing) It was so much fun. I don't see why more freepers don't get involved with the FReepathon.

Even my 'fan mail' has been a riot. I'm a "butt-kisser for Jim Robinson" or so I've been told. (And PROUD of it!) HAHAHAHA!

[Libertina]

BUMP! WE DID it! Aren't we great? :) (Big smile on face) Thanks FRee Republic for a little bandwidth slice of Heaven on Earth.

[Grampa Dave]

The comparisons to my DIL and my grand daughter were meant as praise. Thank God for people like them and you!

Thanks for the kind words about my essay. People like you were why I wrote it. The responses I got back from people during those dark days post 9/11 re jobs and other fears were incredible. I believe that most people are good people and will respond in a positive manner when they realize what is going on and the need.

Some respond to a good essay, and some need to be carpet bombed with good humor. You did the later part, (I still can see those terrible three cheer leaders.) However, they are who we are fighting here on Free Republic! Thanks again!
