Howdy everyone,

Are you ready for a FReepathon?

The state of our FR is strong!

Our big legal bill is now paid off and our budgetary requirements are now reduced. For the first time in our history, our monthly donations are now bringing in more than 50% of our quarterly budget! Thanks to our generous membership and the settlement with the City of Fresno, we now have a comfortable cash buffer and should have no problems meeting our coming tax payments and other obligations.

I've recalculated our estimated budget requirements for the remainder of the year and have posted them here:

We just completed the first loop of our nationwide tour and we had a great time! We traveled through eleven states in three weeks and FReeped with, met with and dined with FReepers in ten cities and from at least a dozen chapters. It's great to see all our old friends again and to meet new ones. Joining a gathering of FReepers is just like going a family reunion. Very warm and friendly and just like home. Thank you all so much for your gracious hospitality and friendship!

We hope to visit all fifty states and most of our chapters within the next year or so. We hope to visit our LA Chapter on the 1st of August to tour the Reagan Library. We hope to visit our San Diego Chapter sometime this month to welcome home the USS Ronald Reagan. We're also planning a Pacific Northwest Tour in August. In January, we're planning a trip across the South and down into Florida and then up the Eastern Coast to Washington, DC for the Free Republic George W Bush Inaugural Ball II!! Woo hoo!!

Well, with the war in Iraq all but concluded, the trial of the Butcher of Iraq about to start, and the election season heating up, I'm sure that FR is going to be THE place to be to get the very latest in news and conservative discussion in the coming months.

Thank you FReepers for making FR the premier conservative forum on the Internet!

Looking forward to the coming campaign season! Good luck to all and may the very best people be chosen to lead our great nation!

Thank God for our successes thus far in the war for freedom and may He guide us through to complete victory over tyranny and terrorism.

Thank you and may God bless you all.

Jim

I'm there dude. My objective is to let more people see what it is like to be a monthly donor and scare off sleeper trolls.

Laura Earl and I are both $1.00+ a day each so we are $2.00+ a day family. The family that Freeps together sleeps together. My snoring keeps LE up at night.

Gabz is crazy but relatively new and still a little uncomfortable with it.

BWAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

You've got to be kidding me?????

You obviously don't know me as well as you thought you do!!!!!!

[onyx]

LOL! That necktie kind of looks like something else,
but waaaaaaaaaay too big to be his. :)

[Gabz]

I'm not going to be around much this weekend - but I've got to come up with something for my Jax's b'day - it's tomorrow - which is why I'm not going to be around much this weekend.

Any ideas????????

[Conspiracy Guy]

I was saying that for the people who don't know you. You are a bull goose looney.

is also at the FR Canteen Post Office

and has been there since the Post Office 1st went online.

You are certified.

I cannot agree.

It takes a lot of effort to be truly NUTZ.
(You and I both know that from our years of experience.)

One has to appear to the world as being completely insane all the while using the guise of being totally abnormal.
I can be a difficult task at times.
(I suggest that we become mentors. We have the expertise to do so)

It can be very rewarding and it is a high calling. Not to mention......well...somebody has to do it.

Be a monthly donor bump!!!

coolbreeze and I aren't up there in the category of you and LE - but we are each in the $5 a month club.

We could be in the $1 a day club if I was working, but with our little one only turning 6 tomorrow - I don't think any FReeper is going to have a problem with our "club" membership!!!!!

[Fawnn]

It was a denial of service attack. Someone is determined to cause problems for us during our fundraiser. Just means we're getting to them.

Somebody on the Canteen just asked if you're able to tell from where an attack like that originates (?).

[Gabz]

bull goose looney.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kitty Mittens]

My check will be in the mail first thing tomorrow morning; God bless you Jim for starting Free Republic!

[Gabz]

Not to mention......well...somebody has to do it.

I've been doing it for years............those like me just haven't noticed it!!!!!!

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you for Pinging me to this, Tonk!

[Conspiracy Guy]

All true but Gabz is our equal in that respect. Going outside to drink beer and watch the sunset.

Later

I've got to come up with something for my Jax's b'day

You could go to my profile page and buy her a copy of each of my books! LOL

Seriously: What sorta day did you have in mind for her?

My daughter just let the MBABGDITW#1 have two friends spend the night and they each got to make a matching skirt to wear to Bible school the next day. (They had matching T-shirts to wear with them.) A fun time was had by all (but I think the girls had more fun than my daughter). ;)

[JDoutrider]

Shameless Monthly Donor BUMP!!!

[Fiddlstix]

I've been doing it for years............those like me just haven't noticed it!!!!!!

Point taken. I owe you a most profound apology.
