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!

I don't know where TaRa is, she hasn't been around since July 14. That's great, I can't believe it either!
The number of FReepers was going up but the number of FReepers who were flying their flag wasn't.
When I first picked the number 10,000 it seemed like an unreachable goal, but with your help we will make it.
Thanks, MR I've enjoyed your company on this thread.
It's amazing of what we can do as long as we put our minds to it and put in the required effort. Basically, nothing is impossible!
Thanks, MR I've enjoyed your company on this thread.
It's a pleasure to get to know you as well. Thanks for making me into a real FReeper. :-)
Your welcome, MR, but you did it all by yourself. I just encouraged you and your youthful exuberance took over. I've seen you take a giant step toward FReeperdom on this thread.
Congratulations! :^)

You never know, someday in the future we may need to organize massive protests of a corrupt administration in the Nation's Capital.
Congratulations TaRa your flag thread was a big success and IMO an important contribution and addition to FR.
TaRa did an amazing job with this thread, I wouldn't have known to fly my flag if it was not for this thread a year ago. Am I right, was there another thread like this last year?
Being organized on the right can only help with our fight with the liberal left and getting FReepers to fly their flags can be a big part of us being organized.
A bump coming your way!
Yeah, there's nothing compared to Free Republic for the left on the internet. I wonder why that is?
And no, Democratic Underground does not count.
Yee-haw!
