Americans are forever in debt to California all because of one man that changed America.
Why, it's only Ronald Reagan.
They probably live in liberal areas such as in New England.
I admit that my state is socalist and addicted to big government, but we do have the #1 TERPS!!!!
Texas 992 FReepers
You are kicking Texas' ***, so your state contributed the most to Free Republic, after all Jim Robinson is from Fresno, California and we all know who he is. :)
I have a feeling that socialism and big government are not isolated to just a few states.
Yes, Free Republic is amazing, we have around 80,000 FReepers now, and we contributed to the election of President Bush in 2000. I do believe that if it was not for Free Republic, George W. Bush would not be the 43rd President of the United States.
So we already made a big impact in America!
BUMP!!!!
Another bump in the night back at ya heading for 9500!!!
Not a problem at all, I learned how to play around with html on this thread.
So I'm a real FReeper now! :P
The next time I'm on Free Republic, there's better be more than 9500!!!!
Gotta get some sleep now.

Conch Repubic celebrates its independenceBy Staff reports
On April 23 each year, The Conch Republic celebrates the anniversary of its independence from the United States of America.
It was born on April 23, 1982 in response to a United States Border Patrol blockade of the Florida Keys.
A history and position paper from the hastily-formed Conch Republic's Office of the Secretary General states that because the United States government treated the Keys like a foreign country, then-Key West Mayor Dennis Wardlow seceded from the Union, declared war, surrendered and demanded foreign aid.
During the intervening years, the U.S. never reacted to the secession, thereby establishing the sovereignty for the Conch Republic under International Law governing "adverse possession between soveriegn nations."
The Conch Republic celebrates its independence annually in a "public and notorious manner" during a ten-day celebration.
WOW, a ten-day celebration in a "public and notorious manner". Sounds like fun. Is there room for one more?
