I am shocked that a city sponsored entity would make such accusations.

Thanks! That was great.
In my opinion, the rats are on the run for being "mean-spirited and hatefulll" to those who support the troops.
Free Republic can't help but get positive attention where ever they go. I believe most Americans love this country as much as we do.

Watching that news report, it seemed to be pretty fair in it's reporting, which surprised me. It could have been a lot worse ;0)

Looks to me like the station riped the so-called Human Rights Commission. I hope I'm right.

And I'd certainly like to know WHO sits on that silly commission, who appointed them and who is ultimately responsible for that slanderous fax!

Excellent news report about Free Republic! Jim and Amy, your "sound bites" were very good, and the knuckleheaded "Human Relations Council" have egg on their faces from their press release about FR. Expect to see some high-speed backpedaling from them, and hope to see the lefties in charge of that "council" looking for other employment.

P.S. It may be a good idea to copy the original "FReepwatch" (or whatever it was called) page and comments that encouraged its readers to cause trouble at your picnic, as well as the FR threads that followed. A lawyer may be a good idea, and a letter demanding a public retraction and apology... in print and on the tv station that originally reported the story.

Great work!

Time to someone to teach Reyes and a few others a lesson.

Two questions.

1. Are City Council members in Fresno elected at large or by districts/wards/precincts?

2. Anyone from Fresno willing to run?

Jim,

I gotta tell you...you have a great case here. I would sue them. I was glad to see the media gave you a fair shake.

Hey! Opportunity knocks!

The ADL is on its last round of appeals trying to worm its way out of paying a jury-award of $10.4 million to a Colorado couple that this strong-arm media-backed militant organization slandered as "hate-mongers" and "anti-Semitic".

Even on appeal, the appeals court only lowered the jury award amount by a pittance, by a few thousand dollars or so, sending a clear signal that those who use pejoratives like "hate" are on notice that the public is fed up.

If Free Republic doesn’t sue, you send a clear signal that this bureaucratic agency in Fresno may slander you and every member of this forum with impunity.

Let's put the ACLU on the spot!! Let them take the case on behalf of Free Republic!!

Okay Jim, here's my letter in an email to Autry. Hope it has your stamp of approval.

City of Fresno
Major Alan Autry


Mr. Autry,


As a long term citizen of Fresno and a member of the group Free Republic I can verify that Free Republic is not a hate group. I don't hate anyone.

I also invite you and anyone else to check out the website at FreeRepublic.com. Since this is an open bulletin board there are on occasion, an inappropriate comment posted onto the site. Jim Robinson has moderators that are able to delete those comments and will ban the individuals if they continue to cause problems on the site.

Due to the slanderous press release from the Human Relations Commission of the City of Fresno I demand that this group be disbanded. I also demand that the Human Relations Commission and the City of Fresno send retractions with apologies to Free Republic and to all the sources that the original news release was sent to.

I also demand that there be a complete police investigation into this whole matter. I believe that Ms. Debbie Reyes used her city position and influence for the political purpose of harassment of private citizens that disagree with her own closely held beliefs on the war with Iraq.

I am outraged that my taxes were spent to harass me because I support the President of the United States and our military personnel in the Middle East. As a female veteran who has a husband currently serving in the military it is my God given right to support our military. I believe that my First Amendment rights were violated along with everyone else that participates in our Friday night rallies.

I would like to see that Ms. Reyes is financially to be held responsible for the payment of the Fresno Police officer's salaries that were assigned to our rally. There were 2 to 3 squad cars positioned in the Blackstone/Shaw area from 5 until 7 P.M with each squad car having 2 officers. I believe that the Fresno Police Department has more valuable use for their officer's time and resources.

The group that I believe that Debbie Reyes is associated with a group called Peace Fresno. Peace Fresno has repeatedly used the Fresno Police Dept. as a tool to harass us at our Friday night rallies. We have had no recourse until now.

Thank you for your time and your stance on this issue.
