Are you ready for a fundraiser?

It's time again to raise the funds necessary to keep Free Republic on the air. And on the air is where we want to be! And on the air is where Dan Rather wants to be, but thanks to some sharp eyed FReepers, HIS air time may soon be ending.

And we can hope that John Kerry's air time will also soon be ending. Thanks to the Swift Boat Vets, with help and support from FRN and the FReepers, we've managed to put a huge hole in Kerry's hopes of winning the Presidency.

It's been a rather exciting quarter for Free Republic -- catching the AP in some outright false reporting, catching Dan Rather passing off forged military documents in cahoots with his Democrat coconspirators in a failed attempt to knockoff a sitting president, and helping the Swiftees get their ads on the air and spreading the word about Kerry's cowardice and treason in Vietnam. Did you know John Kerry served in Vietnam? The only question is who did he serve?

And we're expecting a pretty exciting 4th quarter on FR with the debates, the final four weeks of the campaign, and then the election itself. Free Republic readership is growing like crazy and we've recently doubled the size of our system to handle the increasing demand. We added a fifth server to the system earlier during the quarter and John just spent the weekend up in San Jose installing three more new servers. Free Republic is now running on eight servers! Free Republic is becoming a monster online force!!

We're also planning the Free Republic George W. Bush Inaugural Ball II, to be held in Washington D.C., on January 20, 2005. Will begin running some threads on this during the next couple of weeks, but feel free to chime in on this thread if you plan on attending. You won't want to miss this, I promise you!

Yes, it's going to be an exciting time to be a member of Free Republic. Breaking news and live threads every day on the war, on the debates, on the campaigns and on every important news story impacting all of America and all of the world. Plus the FReeps, rallies, protests, trips, meetings and other opportunities for FReepers to join together in person for fellowship and to promote our causes.

If you are enjoying Free Republic as much as I hope you are and would like to help us remain on the air, please consider clicking the donation link and make a contribution today. We are setting our goal a little higher this quarter. In addition to our regular budgeted expenses, we've purchased quite a bit of equipment, plus we have some taxes to pay. The additional investments and taxes will have just about depleted our cash reserves and we'll need to replenish them if we can.

Thank you very much if you can make a donation and thank you again if you can make it a monthly. Our monthlies are growing and are now over 50% of our regular budgeted expenses! Great job Monthlies!!

Again, looking forward to all the great events that are coming our way in the next few weeks and months!

Thank you all very much for your patriotism and continuing participation and support for Free Republic and our great conservative causes!

God bless you all and God bless America!

Prayers for our troops.

Morning, Mo!

No, that's just picture I found. Not mine. I am still of the deprived generation in that I don't have a scanner.

LOL!

I had a co-worker a couple of weeks ago bring back some great white (and regular) chedder cheese curds when she was visiting relatives in Minnesota (near the Wisc. border).

Her cousin thought she was nuts when this co worker made her drive all the way out to a dairy there "for the curds!"

I use to be deprived also

But the kiddies seemed to keep forgetting their study notes and spelling words at school when it came to preparing for their tests

So I solved that problem and bought one of these :0)

Nuts? The dairy is the best place to get cheese (especially squeaky-fresh curds).

The Asman Observer on FoxNews - The Clinton administration ignored warnings on translators passed on by one Richard Clarke; the guy responsible for passing on those warnings was one Sandy Burglar (who went on to burgle these warnings from the National Archives).

I got a taste for them years ago, at a party. A friend came down from Las Vegas (who's originally from Wisc) and brought a ton of them, shiped in fresh from his Dad.

I found myself chowing them down like they were candy!

Hoosier, next time I'll try them w/ those tomatoes....mmmm!

Darned if I know!!! I don't even speak the language!

Well you better learn to speak French, if John Kerry gets elected! France is Kerry's second country! Te-RAY-sa will become another Jackie Bouvier Kennedy and both will open up the White House to French and leftie intellectuals and artistes!

Ketchup Boy is having a press conference at 1:30; President Bush is having a "major speech" tomorrow. Care to guess which one is more-heavily covered by the Alphabet Soup?

When we headed north to go fishing we'd take our own fresh produce with us....tomatoes, fresh plums, apples or pears...Nothings as good as good fresh cheese and fresh from the garden goodies.....Used to have a cheesary near here, but it wasn't quite as good and is no longer in business......Do you know if you can have them shipped?

As I came back in the house the Breck girl was on the TV talking about something having to do with photo-ops on carriers as opposed to someone who stands by our veterans and walks the walk, not just talk the talk........

What utter nonsense.

Notice how even FoxNews covered Breck Girl's appearance? Shameful.

Getting back to Breck Girl having to appear before veterans instead of active-service personnel; he must think they are less likely to choke the life out of him than active-service personnel, who the RATs definitely DON'T support.
