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 ,When can you come to Philly Pa.
Of course she's gonna do it!
She got to ride in a race car at an Atlanta Marlboro Hot Wheels event and was thrilled at that. And then won the prize -- trip for 2 to attend racing school. Won it on Father's Day. Hopes to take my brother (her dad) but my brother may not be able to get off work on the dates given. (Her twin brother is claiming dibs on being her second choice to take on the trip! LOL)
Last I heard, she doesn't yet know if she gets to go to the school in California or Florida. 5 days, 4 nights, I think.
I don't know one race car driver from another, so I'm dragging this out of my foggy memory bank, but I think it was Rick Mears who gave her the prize certificate at the Atlanta event. (Whoever it was, she was also thrilled 'cause she got his autograph.) ;)
That's what I say every day. I thought The Golden Years were supposed to be something to look forward to but now that they're closing in on me, I'm beginning to have doubts. :-)
You can hold Gramps back as he tries to "rescue" me, from me...and we have us a DEAL!!!!!!
Brad's Gramma,I am going down the shore whatdoyoumeanwhatdodoyoumean.
It'll probably be in the fall of next year.
Think we can get our money back?
It sounded like you were going away for awhile...like for A WHILE...a long while.
Maybe I need to shut this down and get in bed??
LOL
eeeeeeeeeeek!! Just the thought makes my hair stand on end! I'm such a wuss. LOL!
I hope she has a great time. Hubby's done it before (years ago) and says it's a real thrill.
GET PICS!! LOL!
DEAL!!
ROTFL!!
I have a different Whoo Hoo...but it's a girl thing.
You wouldn't be interested. :-)
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
It's MINE!!!
If you figure out a way, let me know!
I'll let you know if I figure it out first.
I've told her about the pics. I'd hoped she got some at the Atlanta event. (She said she was so excited about winning that she didn't even notice if anybody else was taking pictures! LOL)
OK,You got me in 2005 in the fall and all we can bring .I will be there and put you on a litlle radio show that we do if you want or we can just relax:)
LOL!!!
Low and slow, please. ;)
