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coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.

Carthago delenda est


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.

now i'm more bummed. I was hoping he was only a 2 year senator. I am very sorry to everyone that I voted for him in '04. I was still clueless about McCain then.

I figured it was either your number or a gag, and either way I'd have some fun.

If it were to come down to McLame and Hitlery for POTUS in '08, a 3rd part candidate will get my vote. I refuse to vote for the traitor, and there's no way in HELL I will vote for Hitler under ANY circumstances.

And for those who are going to tell me that a vote for a 3rd party is a vote for Hitlery.... oh well. At least I will be voting my heart and conscience....

There really should be a pre-defined place to meet and discuss for ANYTIME this webpage goes down. Maybe 2 or 3 such places.

freerepublic2

I mean what did you do during that outage a few days ago????

Why does everyone keep talking about FR moving to Aruba or having an alternate site. Damn. That's not the answer, that's giving up and accepting we've been screwed by our politicans.

This is an historical fact...

Spartacus and his commanders ride horses, and may be regarded as Cavalry in DBA. Spartacus did in fact ride a horse in battle. However, in this battle he killed his horse before combat, saying that it was unnecessary. If he won, he would capture more horses; if he lost, he was not about to desert his fellow-slaves.

In this battle to silence sites like FR, it's all or nothing. Secondary site...pfft.

My, you are new. What timing to get here. I started while Sheehan (remember her, not) was camped out in Crawford. A thread was moving fast and furious then too. Good luck. Hope we all get to stick around.
