Great news!!! Great job!!!

[Lancey Howard]

Jim,

Why do these folks keep referring to Free Republic as "the Free Republic"? I know it's no big deal, but is there any basis for this phrasing?

Regards,
LH

[Roarkdude]

Good. I hate the City of Fresno so much!

[AAABEST]

You go Jim, you didn't even take that much from them.

When I first heard of the "secret" settlement I'm thinking a mil or two.

What a noble thing to do to take the stupid 60 gees and come visit us. You should just keep it, you earned it just with all the hell you catch from me alone.

I hope you get near South Florida, there are a bunch of us here and I've been wanting to meet you for years.

GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND.

"The City of Fresno officially retracts the press release and acknowledges that the City had no basis for referring to the Free Republic as a hate group or accusing them of making threats against minorities. The City of Fresno also wishes to announce that Debbie Reyes, the Chair of its Human Relations Commission has resigned from her position, effective January 2, 2004."

Must be music to your ears.

What a great win. I had always heard it is impossible to sue a city.

Jim, you done us proud. It's wonderful when the "right" guy wins. Congratulations!

Ambrose, you do have a way with words: you never mince 'em. :)

[Carolinamom]

Smiling atcha!

[doug from upland]

I guess we have to publicly announce that we don't hate Debbie Reyes. Can I still hate Hillary?

JOINT PRESS RELEASE BY FREE REPUBLIC LLC & CITY OF FRESNO [RETRACTION OF LIBELOUS STATEMENT BY HRC]

Geez! when I first read the title I thought you were talking about Senator Sausage Legs (the _other_ HRC)... :D

[spookycc]

Hoo-ah! Way to go, JimRob!

[ChadGore]

Congradulations Jim.

See what happens when you tell the truth and stick to your guns ?

[Tijeras_Slim]

Thanks for the update. For a semi-anonmymous community, I think we're pretty well behaved.

[freepersup]

Outstanding verdict ! Thank you for your tremendous contribution to the very tenets this website is founded on.

You've made a difference, and that is an understatement on the order of several magnitudes.

At the least, acquiring a case of your favorite California wine is the order of the day.

Best regards to your highly capable staff and thanks be to a great family, involved in a most worthy endeavor.

Throttle up Free Republic, you're go for full power !

[Brad’s Gramma]

Congratulations, Jim!! I'm PROUD to be a Freeper!

[Freedom2specul8]

Congratulations Jim!!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Her is not a her. Her is an It. Please, get your facts straight.

LOL!!!

[blam]
