Now hear this:
Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for 30 days. No non government approved electioneering messages may be transmitted over the internet for the 30 days immediately preceding a primary election.
That is all.
The above exercise was just a drill. But if John McCain has his way with his proposed rules for regulating political free speech on the internet, this is how we will be forced to operate in the coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
If the thought of losing your right to express yourself online makes you mad, it is high time you let Senator John McCain know how you feel.

Yes, we can raise a lot of money to cover legal costs. But if this issue ends in a court challenge, at that point we're down to our last chance. If for some strange reason this flagrant destruction of the 1st amendment was then upheld by the courts, we would be screwed and a terrible legal precedent would be set. So we don't want to get cornered like that with only our last chance left. We need to push for congress to pass this Blogger Protection bill and explicitly protect our right to free speech in federal law.

Funny, the Idiots over at DU aren't talking about this. I guess DU isn't getting shut down.
I am SO not surprised.

Take it down.
Our little kaffe klatsch, pleasant as it is, isn't as important as our FREEDOM. I can live without the one, but not without the other.
But don't give us 404's when we connect. Give us instead a page with explicit instructions about whom to call, specific House and Senate bill #'s, etc.
And remind us that as soon as this bastard is dead, FR comes back.
