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!
For running updates on how many we have at a given time and how many for your state, CLICK HERE.
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?
