I guess I've been around here for about 5 years or so now. Time sure flies!

When Jim Robinson started this site, it was because he was fed up with the liberal media, and how they would not let people worldwide know about the corruption of the Clinton Administration. A few of us, equally concerned, (with great luck) found it fast.

In the early days, FR was a day-to-day operation, always on the brink of bankruptcy. Jim kept on, and we chipped in when it became too much. We knew how important this site was, and is. Sometimes, it came down to the wire, and we wrote checks, and sent them in, as best we could.

Look at it now. We all get our best information from this site. It is huge, with thousands of posters, and millions of readers. Yet Jim still keeps it alive because of his conviction, and he is absolutely NOT making a profit on it. He just believes. As do we.

BTW, did you know that the founder of this site is in a wheelchair (sorry Jim; I know you think it doesn't make a r*ts a$$ difference. Hey, some folks out there need to come down a peg, like I have.).

Think of it! In the darkest days of the Clinton Administration, there was a lone internet site where people with integrity, brains, and sheer gumption could discuss the dangers faced by the US. Not on CNN, for sure.

Earthmovers like Drudge, Ann Coulter, Rush, WFBuckley, his brother, Savage, Buchanan, both houses of Congress (many) check in to see what we think.

The opposition checks it out, too. Like the NY times staff, CNN, etc. Trust me, they all come here to read. Even YOUR post. You know by now how they are whining about Rush? We're next, as soon as they figure out how they can trash this site without it getting a million hits.

I've been broke; I've been not broke. I've slept in my car. I know how it feels to be squeezed tight with bills. Folks with giant bills: You're not alone, and you have friends here. :)

If you love this site as much as I do, please, please sign up for automatic payment of just $3 per month. Don't be embarrassed if you think this is too little. It absolutely is not. You $3 a month folks are our grassroots movement heroes. Be proud. Become one of the thousand points of light here, and you will so feel proud every month. We'll thank you for it, and are so glad to have you on board.

I know things are rough out there. But you are tough, and a member of the greatest grassroots freedom movement in 100 years. Together we are making history, and will change the world, as we already have. The best is yet to come.

Most countries out there would consider this website illegal. They hate us, for our freedom. Their systems cannot stand, in the face of Freedom. The people there read us when they can, when they are “allowed” to, and are not being tortured. They flock to us, America, because they want to be free. Help us help them.

Would you please, please consider signing up for just $3 a month? Please? That’s all it takes, really, believe it or not. You will make a world of difference, to, well, the world. Be proud, Americans, and please help out!

Moran, a nine-term lawmaker, said he would support only a temporary income tax increase -- perhaps for two or three years -- on higher income earners, and only if the money is used to provide extra funds to municipalities and growing school districts.

LOL!!!

The cell phone bills are too high.....How do people expect McGreevey to pay it?

I used to work in Camden (thank God I live in PA), and I always used to think that there should be a sign at the middle of the Ben Franklin bridge reading:

YOU ARE LEAVING THE AMERICAN SECTOR
WELCOME TO THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF NEW JERSEY

North Jersey is dragging South Jersey, kicking and screaming, into a Marxist-Leninist Utopia. Seriously.

Property taxes there are indeed insane. My aunt and uncle pay $12,000/year in South Orange (yup, 12 G's a year). It's so bad that two towns are trying to secede from their county, but the county will never let them go because they can steal far more money from them than they can get from the other towns.

If they raise the income tax, you might see a ton of people flock to PA, where the property tax is a flat 2.8%. I know, Philly just forced Ed Rendell into the governorship, but with the GOP controlling both houses he won't be doing any damage anytime soon ;)

The three lawmakers are the first Republicans to publicly entertain the possibility of an income tax increase to help ease the state's budget crunch. >>>>>>

Is Paul Mulshine Ever so right!!http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/822757/posts And I bet these guys didn't support Schundler either. What's a true, conscientious, voting republican to do in 2003?

Paul Mulshine.
>>>>If you're looking for the reason the Republicans are doing so well nationally and so poorly in New Jersey, look no further. Our Republicans govern exactly like Democrats. So why not vote Democratic?>>>>

Why not?

[Lancey Howard]

LOL, New Jersey is corrupt to the core, owned lock, stock, and barrel by the education mafia. The people there think it's cool. New Jersey has no true GOP to speak of, the second amendment was abolished there, and the parasites and pigs are in charge. It's a Democrat state forever.

The South Jersey shore is a nice place to visit in the summer, and the casinos are fun once in a while, but other than that my recommendation is to stay away from the place. It's dangerous.

Let's get down to brass tax. Any form of taxation is theft and extortion. Let's have a sales tax on the national, state and local level. What I make, where I live and all other aspects of my life is just nobody's damn business.

NJ is at it again, we Republicans are our own worst enemy and will never learn and like sweet little minions we aren't supposed to criticize our brother republicans, bull s**t.

After what they did to Schundler:
1. The ploy the pulled during the primary by putting in Franks and extending the primary. And they had the nerve to complain about the Lautenberg issue after they did the same thing last year.

2. Not supporting Schundler while he was a candidate after he was chosen by the republican voters who put him and to be our candidate.

Now it's 2003 and want our votes!! Dream on pubbies.

They had a Republican Legislative Majority for 10 yrs. 8 of which with republican governors, 1st 2 with a VETO-proof majority over Democrat Jim Florio, and what did they do, INCREASE SPENDING AND PROGRAMS EVERY YEAR (sounds like Bush). Stole from Unemployment Trust funds and the Teachers' TPAF to fund an income-tax cut which had to be paid back, by order of the Fed. Govt., which was done by approving a $2.7 billion bond issue without the permission of the voters, no referendum. Auto insurance premiums increased, they put too many mandates to the health insurance insurers which doubled premiums, approved 2 $500,000 no-bid contracts for EZ Pass (toll roads) and Parsons (vehicle inspections) w/o following proper procurement procedures and kept the marriage penalty tax and estate tax. They took over Newark's Scool System and lost $54 Million and to this day still can't account for it. One of the last things the Republicans did was to approve an $8.1 Billion, inner-city school funding proposal, again without the approval of the voters thus violating the law. http://www.stopthedebt.com

We've been paying a temproary income tax since 1975, don't forget Brendan Byrne's words, TEMPORARY, almost 30 yrs. http://www.utnj.org later. Let's tell our so-called republican leaders that we want to keep our money and not give it to them to spend on programs and Newark's municipal and School budgets.

And now they are thinking about punishing the rich by raising income taxes, unbelievable. They sound like Communits to me.
