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
A pony!!!!??????
It is good that the monthly donators now make up half the operating budget. Let's try to get it up to 55-60% during this fundraiser.
Sure gonna miss "the bot," but he'll be appreciated even more when the next Freepathon comes around.
Excellent news! Thanks for the ping.
I was unclear in my post - I have NO closet space in this house. I'm serious.
There is a "broom closet" next to the chimney in the dining room and a closet in Jax room and the pantry in the laundry room........that is it.
I kid you not........there are no closests in this house.
OTOH - I've learned to live with it because we are by far happier here than we were........
Lady jag makes us all seem dull and normal
As I said - SCARY!!!!!!!
Dessert? What's that?
That's weird. Once in a while my animations will quit and I have to reboot browsers to get them working again. But I haven't been able to find anything about it.
Yea us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Neither can I..........
I know I am!!!!!!!!!
I'm eating now.
But...the joke? Ack...I knew that! :-)
HUSH.............
You WAIT till we get rid of the neighbors! You're gonna have a nice big house!!!!!!!
There is no such thing as "dull and normal" when describing FReepers.
Oh oh.
Has MoJo seen him?
None???
Where to do you hide stuff when unexpected company comes by??
I finished eating.........I'm working on what will probably be my last beer of the night.....the little one is still fussing and fighting going to bed and I am quickly losing my interest in being awake.......
