great job!!

[backhoe]

I hope it does some good- Boortz has been hammering her and the addle-pated shills who call his show pretty hard. At least he's aware of the protest now.

[Amelia]

Many thanks from another Georgia FReeper (too far from Atlanta to help) for doing us proud!!

[FreedomPoster]

High praise, coming from you. You da MAN when it comes to gutsy FReeps in the heart of Indian Country, from what I've seen. Thanks.

[dansangel]

"Thanks
I miss Atlanta."

psssstttt.....I'll trade places with ya! I'm from FL and would love to go back.....

0~<);-)

[stand watie]

you mean to tell me that you ACTUALLY associate with Walt, the damnyankee apologist???????

not me! lol, sw

[Vigilantcitizen]

"Are you a veteran, VC?

Sorry for the late reply, as I signed off right after my last post to you. But, to answer your question, yes I am a veteran.

USN 1985-1987 Active, 1987-2000 reserves based at NAS Atlanta.

My Uncle was Air Force, stationed in Nevada for 8 years, and now is a civilian employee at Warner Robbins.

"Why are you apologizing? That's a compliment if you ask me! (I assumed he was a veteran too the way the handled the logistics for the freep...)

I said sorry because of my fatigue related mental error, not because I thought he was offended. : ^ )>

[blackie]

A great job done by one all, congratulations !!

[Vigilantcitizen]

"you mean to tell me that you ACTUALLY associate with Walt, the damnyankee apologist???????"

For one, they needed all the bodies they could get.

Secondly, now we know what he looks like...

On a serious note, I was so looking forward to debating with him in between protest shouts. But alas, thwarted by my job again.

[RobFromGa]

I have only one criticism and request. PLEASE leave the children at home when you do things like this where there is a high risk of violent attack.

Since I was the one who brought my children with me, I tell you myself to keep your criticism to yourself.

I obviously did not think that there was a high risk of violent attack or I wouldn't have taken the time to be there myself.

I happen to be raising citizens, not spectators, so go STUFF it.

[Jen]

I thought you might be. SALUTE to you for your service, FRiend and a belated Happy Armed Forces Day. Jen

[Jen]

Oh. Must've been my late-night mental fatigue that caused me not to understand your post. hehehehe

[Jen]

Thank you Blackie! I had a great time meeting some great FReepers and chanting at Ms McNinney's criminal dad and racist, lying supporters.

[FreedomPoster]

Rob, you're just so uptight and restrained. C'mon, let it all out, tell us what you REALLY think!

It did NOT look or feel like a potentially dangerous environment.

[Jen]

Anybody take the Atlanta newspaper? I cancelled my sub long time ago. I'd sure like to see if our freep made the paper.

Also, FP, please let us know what the community paper prints. Does it have a website?

[RobFromGa]

nothing in the AJC, good to meet you yesterday...

[FreedomPoster]

BNA, I answered a few questions for a gal who said whe was with a local court newspaper. If that's something that's readily available at newstands around downtown Decatur, you might keep an eye out for an article on us in the next issue. I would assume it's a weekly.

I get the weekend AJC, as it's darn near free, but haven't even looked at it today. I'll go look in a minute.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Can you believe it? 200+ posts

WooooooHoooo!!!!

[Vigilantcitizen]

"I happen to be raising citizens, not spectators, so go STUFF it.

You go, man!!! Your kids needed to see what they are up against.

"Anybody take the Atlanta newspaper? I cancelled my sub long time ago. I'd sure like to see if our freep made the paper.

Sorry, I cancelled mine when Lewis Grizzard died...I'll check Creative Loafing when they post the new issue tommorrow.
