Are You New To Free Republic? New Or Not- Fly Your State/Country Flag!

There are still lots of FReepers who have not chosen to fly their flag. You don't have to provide any additional information, although lots of FReepers have provide pictures, e-mail addresses, and the like, you don't have to! It would be nice if you would at least "fly your flag".

This allows other FReepers in your state to FReepmail you to let you know about local FR events - rallies, chapter meetings, and other activist events.

Even if you don't plan to participate, it'll keep you informed of what is happening in your state. Now, FLY YOUR FLAGS!

Even if you don't care to "fly the flag" of your state, at least select United States as your country so that you'll be flying Old Glory. Selecting your "Location" on your FReeper Profile doesn't provide any real information about you that can be used in any meaningfully underhanded ways.

So don't hesitate today. Go to your personal profile page.

Just click on the link I just provided and select Edit Profile. There, you can select the flag you want to fly under (by using the location drop-down list) and post a few tidbits about yourself if you wish.

This is a great tool for activism to get FR chapters going in your area. We need to be united now more than ever! This makes it easy to find FReepers in your state and you can FReepmail 'em to see if you can get something going.

Once you have your flag selected, you can then click on that flag (from your profile page and see how many other Freepers are flying the same flag. Also, there is a message board under each flag so that you can communicate with the Freepers who live in your area.

Then you can click on the Scorecard option (available when you click on your flag) and see the breakdown of Freepers from every state and country.

Even more, you can use HTML in your profile, insert images, backgrounds,etc. It is fun to check out the profiles of fellow Freepers to gain more insight into who they are. There are some great profiles out there. Check some of them out by clicking on their Screen Name.

Please note, this is the public domain, so don't include any information that you don't want publicized. Your profile can include as much or as little information as you want it to. At a minimum, I see no harm in everyone "flying" their flag of choice on their profile page!

Thanks for the bump FW. There are over 80,000 FReepers and just over 10% (9400) are flying their state flags on their profile page. We are just trying to get that number up to around 10K. Thanks again.

Here's a challege for you should you decide to accept it. Make a link to the flag totals. How are you with links?

Oh boy....

Just give me a little time, and I'll get it!!!!

In response, Mr. Carter acknowledged that he had, in fact, failed a recent eye test, and that he had also recently mistaken his wife Rosalyn for former national security advisor Zbignew Brzezinski.

LOL! That whole column is too funny. Thanks for the laughs.

I'd love to keep this thread going until we get to 10,000. I put a link to this thread on a couple of different threads today. Haven't had time to look for the Welcome to FR threads or the HTML threads. If we could links on those threads it would really help us. Way to go TaRaRa!!!!!Congrats to you!!!!
