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.

Yep .. and if I recall correctly it was shortly after the President landed on the carrier and when all the Dems were *itching about it

The Dems and Kerry/Edwards are walking talking Hypocrites

They're at it again folks:

From the DNC Website:

An "online coup d'etat." That's how CBS News described your efforts after the debate last Thursday.

John Kerry did his part with a powerful performance that showed America they can expect strong and principled leadership when he is our commander-in-chief. But it was your efforts that kept the Republicans from spinning their way to victory.

Now we need your help again. Tonight, John Edwards and Dick Cheney will meet for the only vice presidential debate of the campaign. Once again, we need you to take action the moment they leave the stage.

There are four critical things you can do to help beat the Republican spin machine.

Forward this email to family, coworkers, and friends. Vote in online polls. Write a letter to the editor. Call radio and television stations. Your 10 minutes of activism following the debate can make the difference. It is important that we double our efforts from the last debate, because the Republicans are now copying our strategy.

Vote in Online Polls National and local news organizations will be conducting online polls during and after the debate asking for readers' opinions. Look for online polls at these news websites, and make sure to vote in every one of them:

----------------------- FROM THE DNC WEBSITE

This is how they spun the MSM last week and they are trying to do it again tonight.

While the President may not have delivered a knockout punch to Kerry last week he sure as heck did not do as abysmmally as the alphabet soup and DNC spinmeisters would like everyone to believe.

We need a counter offensive.......teh MSM and DNC can not get away with this crapola any more and they need to know it....they need to know the Pajama Brigade is ready willing and more than able to show the truth.

More slithering -

From Jeff Wagner (local radio host on WTMJ"Provisional ballot" provisions in Wisconsin - you have until 4 pm the day AFTER the election to provide identification (which, in Wisconsin, can consist of nothing more than a cable bill) to provide identification; and THIS in a state with SAME-DAY registration where nothing more than a cable bill is required for identification.

This is how they spun the MSM last week and they are trying to do it again tonight.

And it back fired not only on the DNC but also the MSM .. because now people won't be paying attention to their polls

Received this from a friend this morning:

New definition of a liberal... A liberal is some one who believes that every word in "Farenheit 9/11" is true and every word in "Unfit To Command" is false!

In order to be a liberal,

1. You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

2. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens are more of a threat, than US nuclear weapons technology, in the hands of Islamic Fascists.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the Earth's climate, and more affected by yuppies driving SUVs.

6. You have to believe that natural gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.

7. You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand.

8. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who've never been outside of major cities do.

10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

11. You have to believe the military and conservative politicians, not insane theocratic terrorists start wars.

12. You have to believe the Gun lobby is bad, because it supports certain parts of the charter, while the Gay lobby is good, because it supports certain parts of the charter that don't exist.

13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

14. You have to believe that Margaret Trudeau and Margaret Atwood are more important to Canadian History history than Sir John A MacDonald, Robert Baldwin or A.G. Bell.

15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides aren't.

16. You have to believe that Sunera Thobani is really a lady.

17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar, jewelry thief and sexual deviant does not.

19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and bestiality should be charter protected and manger scenes on lawns at Christmas should be illegal.

20. You have to believe that illegal Liberal and NDP Party funding by criminal activity is somehow acceptable but corporate doners should be banned from political parties.

The reports about the emails in support of Kerry's performance during the debate arriving up to 4 hours BEFORE the debate even started, were JUST what we needed to make the MSM more wary. It was actually brilliant.....wonder if Rove was behind this (chortle/snicker).
