Somehow I missed your reply #63 until now.... and I seem to have inhaled the "stupid gas" ( this is an inside joke between my wife & me- I contend the pulp mill puts out stupid gas & that's why we have so many stupid people; she says it's inbreeding.... )-- do you mean you haven't sent emails using whatever is on your machine, like Outlook Express? Or internal emails, within Free Republic?

Actually, neither one was what Jeff & I were doing a few nights ago.... at the firehouse.com site was a page- actually 11 pages- of links to FD websites. Many of the sites have an "email us" button, which when you hit it, pops up your email program ( assuming you have one installed on your PC ) with the address already filled in.

To make a link inside this email, you need an extra browser ( hit control-n when your main browser is up & running to load a second browser ) running with the page you wish to make the link to on it.

I may not be explaining this well; the dog's trying to kill a fly in the kitchen, my wife's needing minor nursing care ( aftermath of plate in neck ), etc.- let me try it this way:

1- get one browser ( call it "A" ) up for "where you wish to go to" ( like firehouse.com or another site.
2- call up the 2nd browser ( call it "B" ), get it on the page you want to link to... like Jeff's petition.
3- use "A" to go to a site with an Email Button, hit it, and when your blank email appears, go to "B" and click on the "address" box- it will darken, and hit control-c to copy this. Go back to the email, and in the main body for your message, point anf hit control-v.... this will paste a clickable link inside the email. You can title it manually, or go back to "B" and cut & paste the title from that. Send the email with whatever subject, comments, etc., you like.....

I gotta run, wife & dog are driving me batty.... minor tip, print these instructions- it's easier that way..... I'll be back in the AM, any questions, drop me a note- JR

68,070 signatures and now driving towards 70K.

BUMP.

I hope we see 100K before the coming weekend is over and it will take a real sustained effort here on FR and through emails to do so.

BUMP.

Actualy, it broke 60,000 at 2 AM this morning Mountain time. So, we are now over 9900 in 18 hours, or an average of over 500 per hour.

We are hoping for 70K before midnight which will mean in excess of 10K today.

We want to break 100K before the coming weekend is over and will need a sustained effort all week and into the weekend to do so I believe, both here on FR and through all of our email lists and through emails to Fire Departments, etc.

Now at: 69150

Hmpfh! Right; I was looking at YESTERDAY a.m. Good thing someone else is here to keep an eye on my math <\;^>

BTW, is it just me or is FR running kinda slow this evening?

FR speed is okay for me right now.

I believe we will make the 70K before midnight, we are over 1/4 of the way there from 69K in the last 20-30 minutes and have 3 1/2 hours to go. The more the merrier and the quicker we reach the 100K goal.

Now at 69250

Tell me truly Jeff, did you ever in your wildest dreams believe this would take off like it did? Seems there have been some changes since 9/11.....some for the better.

All I could do was hope.

We must always hope.

But, I have seen other equally notable causes (ie. Klamath) that were blatant assaults on Liberty not do as well (though closing in on 40K for the Klamath petition is good, we really need 100K there too).

This issue, after 911 was an unintended "bridge too far" for the liberal/marxist/revisionists whose politcal career and personal ideologies are more important to them than their country and their morality and virtue. I believe an unprecedented number of Americans can readily see, through issues like this, the real moral and integrity bankruptcy and they are speaking out on this one.

May we prevail here and then find a way to spread this insite and awakening to other equally critical issues that are critical to our liberty and to our Republic.

Short answer? Though I hoped, I did not expect and am humbled and grateful at the result thus far.

Here we are. Use this thread this evening.

I hope to post another thread tomorrow at the 75K mark.

Now at 69450 and still growing steadily.

We will make 70K by 10 PM at this rate, but I expect the rate to slow after 9-10 PM mountain (meaning after 11PM to midnight Eastern) and hope we can make it by 11 PM mountain depending on how much it slows this evening.

A good place to start. Maybe the unwashed have been shaken awake. Nothing like an attack on the homefront to raise the hackles of the sleeping giant. Something good WILL come from this; the silver lining?

Liars only have the power to trick decent people into supporting unjust policies until the light of truth is shown upon their falsifications.Lies are their only power and that's why they're starting to squeal now.I've seen several today,probably because they're being hurt and they know it;we are gaining ground.As I said above-the pigs squeal,on(cuttin')day.

Gaining speed instead of losing it; gotta luv it! Early rack time sounds good here, too.
