Born of the Free Republic

There comes a time when Americans with a great idea have to stop talking and start doing. The Free Republic forum has been the most fun I've had with my clothes on in many, many years. Through the Free Republic I learned I wasn't alone. Through the Free Republic I have gained so many really good, like minded friends, and a family I thought was forever lost.

We have have had a great time. We gathered together in DC for the "March for Justice" and shocked the world. We held the "House Managers Dinner" and Shocked the politicians. We jumped on the 2,000 election's aftermath with Registered's 'Sore Loserman" sign and shocked our own lethargic people. The time has come to shock ourselves.

What is now the FreeRepublic Forum will never change. For it truely is the "Liberty Tree"" we gather under. We have grown from a mere 1700 Freepers ( when I first signed on four years ago), to 78,000

In four more years we will be nearly four MILLION. I don't know where our end of growth is, but having two out of every three voters a Freeper by 2008 is very definetely in the realm of possiblity. (Who'd have thought we grow nearly 5,000% in just four years).

We have gone from a budget of $2,000 per month to $22,000 per month, and we raise it easily, "VOLUNTARILY'. This in an increase of 1100 % For damn sure we are getting our money's worth.

Now the Free Republic Network is born. The Free Republic Network is the logical outgrowth and next step in the life of the FreeRepublic forum. It has big ideas to "DEFUND the LEFT", neutralize the "Liberal Media", and restore this beloved "Republic", our United States of America. Don't you dare think we can't do it. Look from whence we have come in just four years.

The Network is functioning with a tight corporate stucture. All the whereas's etc. glaze my eyes over, but the corporate types on board are very capable and steel eyed in their determination.The Network needs $350,000 in the next year, but only $50,000 in the next 90 days. The plan is to raise Network funds from American Companies and institutions, but it needs a jumpstart. Any Freepers with the vision may want to help. If so click on the eagle's head logo.

I hope I have made the Network more understanable to you. It is not a replacement for our forun. It is the birth of a baby eagle, May it fly high and proud.

A bump for the Free Republic Network. Nothing to stop us but the stars ...

[Bob J]

Time to take a stand and throw in! BUMP for the Free Republic Network!

[diotima]

Chapter leader BUMP!

[Nitro]

Ping!!

Are you guys official members??

I ask because I have become reluctant to join things..!

As I like to say "NAVY" stands for Never Again Volunteer Yourself!!

[IronJack]

Volunteer yourself! You've already invested a lot of yourself in this country. In for a dime, in for a dollar!

Free Republic Network needs you. To heck with caution. Get on board!!!

[diotima]

You should join. CFR is going to the senate soon, judicial nominees are going to be blocked by the liberals, and mid term elections are coming up....IT'S TIME TO BE HEARD!

[mlmr]

So, Joe, exactly what does the FR network do?

[Sloth]

Yeah... "logical outgrowth w/ tight corporate structure" is a big vague. What does it DO?

[diotima]

See the link in the post above.

[DoughtyOne]

All Los Angeles area Freepers, I hope you'll take advantage of the links and contact us. We'd like to get together with you and conduct some good natured harassment of the left. Well... fairly good natured.

"The Free Republic forum has been the most fun I've had with my clothes on in many, many years."

You mean to say that you post while clothed? Ha ha ha! Everyone on Free Republic.. At least I thought that everyone.. I mean doesn't everyone..? Hmmm...

Never mind.

[alcuin]

To heck with caution.

Dagnabbit, you're right, AGAIN!

Ping me when this thread is deleted.

[Sabertooth]

Bump and a...

(((ping))))

[Nitro]

Alright, you convinced me!!

I just finished joining the Tri-State New York Chapter!!

I just hope it isn't like the NRA, they are looking for donations about twice a month and I am not a wealthy man!!

Hi Bob,

I pinged you on the "Is FR a Fraud" thread and asked you some questions about whether you had permission to use the Lee Greenwood song on the FReeper video. I guess you must have missed them, since you haven't answered. Would you mind dropping in on that thread and answering my questions?

BADJOE tells us the Network will be as clean as a whistle, with professional management. Will you be respecting the copyrights of authors and musicians if the Network uses any of their work in it's promotional efforts?

Oh, is FRN tax exempt or not? There seems to be some confusion about that.

Thanks in advance!

[diotima]

No confusion. You have the thread over on your website. Joe stated he was incorrect about the tax status as did other people. Donations to the FRN are not tax exempt.
