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

Okay! So I'm not like a dollar a day person. However, I'm in the category of: I will have to not use FR for 125 days to be a dollar a day person. LOL!

Okay! I'm slacking over here.

Someone should post the Fair Funkle rules.


Rules for Funkeling.

In order to score a Fair Funkle on Free Republic, a FReeper must observe the following rules:

1) The thread chosen must have been active within 1/2 hour prior to declaring an attempt.

2) The FReeper must delare a "Fair Funkle" attempt in his/her first post.

3) The FReeper must post count downs from 4 to 1 (the declaration post counts as the first post) at no less than 5 minute intervals.

4) It is the duty of any freeper seeing the declaration to post a "bump", thus ending the attempt.

5) The successful FReeper may, at the fifth and last post, declare in any derisive terms desired, "I did it! A Fair Funkle!"

6) Scoring of Fair Funkles will be by a jury of FReeper peers (the Funkle Committee), and will include: time intervals between count down posts, total time consumed and thread popularity prior to the Fair Funkle.

7) Scoring disputes will be decided by the Funkle Committee and may not be appealed.

8) The awarding of the annual Fairest Funkle Of Them All trophy will be decided by the Funkle Committee.
