GREAT! They are doing such a super job, aren't they?! I'm so impressed with the professionalism and intelligence of our FReepers. :)

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks Libertina, I am listening now. Wish I knew who was speaking. He is very interesting, but it is driving me crazy that I don't know who he is. LOL!

Click HERE for the thread with the live audio broadcast.

Hi Mama, I was on the planning committee for this event so I can help a little. The previous speaker was Chuck Moot who is the Executive Director of the American Conservative Union. The current speaker is the man who operates Mullings. com., ex- Ex Dir of GOPAC, I believe he is Tim Zeigler.

[Libertina]

Sorry Mama, spelling correction of Chuck's name, make that Muth! LOL

[lodwick]

Guys - have a super evening. The guy I first heard was great, the next sounded like he was underwater. My machine or him?

I love algore's internet. See you patriots manana, with luck. JL

[Mama_Bear]

Hi all . We are finally home.

Great! Glad you are back with us. I enjoyed reading your posts about the trials and tribulations of being computer deprived. You are funny, and I identified so well with your problems of sneaking away to get on line. I've been there too. I've seen the concerned "looks" from family and friends when they realize that I have some kind of computer addiction. LOL!!!

.........

[Libertina]

Nite, Lodwick. Manana :) Sleep tight.

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks for the information on the speakers. You're not there, are you? I am curious as to how many FReepers are at the FRiva Conference. We would have gone, but my husband had appointments today that he couldn't reschedule.

[Mama_Bear]

Good night, lodwick. See you tomorrow.

[Mama_Bear]

We had ice chests ready, and when they rolled in at noon, I started throwing frozen food into the chests and running around like a maniac! LOL!

Yep, been there, done that! LOL!!

[Mama_Bear]

Now that is what we need on a sign on Fridays Mama! The Clean house California graphic

That's a good idea. I will see if Jeff can make up a couple for us for next FRiday.

[Libertina]

I am , sadly, the only committee member NOT there! (snif snif) :) Anyway, there are approx. 90 attendees. Hopefully, we'll all go tot he next one. As Bob J & Diotima & The FRee Republic Network hold more of these events, I hope we'll get attendance of 100s! 1000 wouldn't be bad either! :) All of the committee members have done such an outstanding job. And just listen to the impressive radio personalitites we have who are the dj's! FR has so much talent.

[ladyinred]

I was hoping you would say that! The peaceniks are blaming Bush for California's problems on their signs, so we need to answer them with our own.

[Mama_Bear]

Well, I couldn't imagine you being on the planning committee and then not being there. That's too bad that you couldn't go. :-(

I thought there would be many more than 90 people attending. Yes, I hope that in the future more and more people will attend. I would have loved to have gone.

One of the reasons we couldn't go is because Speaker of House Dennis Hastert came to our town this evening to campaign for Devin Nunes (the Republican nominee for Congress in our district). My husband was there to shoot the photographs of the attendees with Nunes and Hastert. It was a job he couldn't get out of, even if he had wanted to, which he didn't. LOL! He was able to talk to the Speaker about FreeRepublic, about the FRiva Conference and about the our rallies with JimRob in Fresno that we attend. Hastert apparently is at least an occasional lurker because he already knew about the FRiva Conference in Las Vegas. He was very enthusiastic about FR and what we all do here and also to find out that we go to the rallies whenever we can. :-)

I am pinging some of the FResno Rally regulars ....... you might be interested to know that Jeff told the Speaker of the House about our Friday night Support our Troops rallies. Hastert thought it was wonderful that we are out on the street corner waving the flag for our military and President Bush. :-)

Jim and Syncro, I know you are in Vegas. Hoping you'll get this ping the next time you log on. I'm sure you are having a great time. Wish we could have been there. I am listening to the live broadcast as I type. I hope people are getting lots of pictures.

[chadsworth]

Wow! I am impressed! I hope the speaker didn't try to hide from Jk's camera, I hear there are those who do! :)

Seriously, I think it is great that he got the chance to speak to him, I hope he invited him to join us next Friday night! Wouldn't that blow the peaceniks away? LOL!

[Mama_Bear]

LOL! Really?? ;-)

Seriously, I think it is great that he got the chance to speak to him, I hope he invited him to join us next Friday night! Wouldn't that blow the peaceniks away? LOL!

Yes, it probably would blow them away if they had a clue who he was ...... which I doubt very much. Judging by the signs they hold, I don't think they have a clue about much of anything. LOL.

[ladyinred]

I don't think they have a clue about much of anything. LOL.

VBG, You are so right, last night one guy had a sign that said,

WAR HIDES REALITY!

As if he would recognize reality if it tapped him on the shoulder! :)

[ladyinred]

Why Just Amy, look at you hiding behind JustFrank!
He looks so innocent, I bet it is you who puts him up to all those things he says! :)
