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 like being a kept woman also!!!!
The only thing I miss about the townhouse we sold last year was the extra closet space. I learned to do with a whole lot less!!!!
No ad thread, no bot!
That's great news, Rotti.
We're doing good... spending lots of time in the mountains, fihsing, it's been really mild start of summer, so we've been out enjoying it. The dawgs are doing fine, too.
We only have one pine tree left, so the black lab really has to scrounge to find a pine cone these days. Big dawg is still, well, big. We put him on a diet of low-carb mailmen, and he's down to about 155. Our Joe Cocker spaniel has perfected being underfoot, without being squished. Makes for some interesting impromptu dancing when it's dark :o)
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I'll take him please. Will you be shipping by UPS or FedEx?
A friend of mine just bought a single home near here and she was saying the same thing .. but with a few adjustments, she managed to get things to fit in the closets
I am you!
Thank You Monthly Freepers
Y'all ROCK!!!

The blue roses are really beautiful . . . the girl is, too.

Glad you are on board. Gabz makes me feel normal. Whatever that is!

It's not that easy. For starters, I have to interview you.
