Fellow Georgia Freepers...

Hope the few materials that I supplied were a help. It took 2 hours of run time to do that one that I printed. Sorry I couldn't do more, but my machine has been running solid every minute I'm at work.

I really hated missing this Freep, as I was looking forward to meeting all of y'all, especially AFVetgal and Whiskeypa. But one bad facet of my career is our construction timelines are usually 2 weeks start to install.

I did have the great pleasure of meeting Freedom Poster when he came by the shop to pick up the sign materials. He and Benotafraid did an excellent job organizing this freep, which turned out well.

Maybe we should consider having a chapter meeting every 2 months or so.

Again, I apologize for missing the freep. When it was planned last week, I was working 40 hours a week my machine was still. After tomorrow, we'll have in 80 hours this week.

On top of that, Ms. VC's Grandmother is living her last days. So we have been making the trip to Rome every weekend to visit.

Y'all Georgia Freepers did an excellent job!! Hope to catch a clip on the news.

Sorry I am so late getting these on. Just got home. But here they are......

Here are a few photos of the Cynthia McKinney FReep.

Our fearless leader being interviewed by Fox News reporters.


Unfortunately I could not get any photos of Cynthia herself since her "keepers" snuck her in a back door to avoid us. However be not disappointed.....

Here is one from my archive of McKinney and her "people".



...and here's one of her constituency.

Don't you know that their standard reply when they don't get their way is:".....Because I'm black".

I point out that the two nicest vehicles there by far were the heavies’ Land Cruiser, and the Mercedes AMG S55 with the Morehead College plates (local Atlanta black school) that a very nicely dressed black woman arrived in. Yes, we’re just evil rich white folks, and they're all just so poor.

That reminds me of that hilarious "South Park" episode.
Those who saw it know which one I'm talking about.

"Well at least I got rid of all the ......"

Around 12:30, Cynthia’s father, local rep Billy McKinney came and harangued the gathered Freepers. He ending up playing the race card pretty heavily at his closing with us, when he headed into the building. Several of the McKinney supporters played the "you’re just a bunch of rich white people" race/class warfare card. We pointed out that they were bringing up the racial issue, that as far as we were concerned, there was nothing racial about Cynthia’s anti-Americanism. We pointed out that some of us were supporting Cynthia’s black opponent in the primary, and one of us (Apple Pan Dowdy) was involved in the black civil rights movement in Birmingham in the 60’s.

Figures Billy would have started haranguing you guys. I'm glad to see that you were there in force, though.

I appreciate the invite that I received from several of you, but I had plenty of other errands I was previously tied into (primarily getting things together and playing chauffer for my oldest daughter's 8th grade dance - couldn't disappoint her).

Back to Billy - for those of you not familiar, Billy McKinney is a former Atlanta cop, and a Georgia state representative with a checkered past himself. Billy McKinney actually pulled a knife once on the floor of the Georgia State House, threatening to "cut" another member of that august body who happened to disagree with McKinney. In the early 1990's, McKinney, who was in Savannah supporting his daughter during the fight over the redistricting of Cynthia's oddly-shaped, gerrymandered district. Black conservative Congressman Gary Franks (R-CT) left the court house, where he was accosted and physically threatened by the elder McKinney. Billy McKinney was not charged in either case.

Both the elder McKinney and his Arab/Communistic daughter are under investigation by Georgia state election officials currently for campaigning WITHIN a precinct on Election Day. Not only that, but supposedly Billy McKinney threatened a poll worker who asked the pair to leave the premesis.

Here's hoping that the tratorious Congresscritter and her nutso father are indicted and trundled out of the misery of the voters of Georgia...

GREAT Report. Your discription took us right to the streets with you.

FReep On, Georgia FReepers!

Hope this won't be your last FReep to rid the Congess of McKinney. It's a long haul to November, but worth the sacrifices.

Big time BRAVO ZULU!

My sister and her hubby tried to get there, but they ended up in a fender bender somewhere around Spaghetti Junction. I told her to look in the Urinal Constipation tomorrow for a write-up, but she said that it will probably not get the right spin.

Oh, incidentally, everyone is OK.

Fantastic job! I did my share of Freeps to the Atlanta Journal Constipation poll regarding this idiot! I wrote one of their people and repremanded them for "proping up" such an idiot!

While I admire your efforts and believe in your cause, I feel obligated to remind you that you can't quiet a "looney" like CMac...nor do you stand a chance of convincing her constituents that she is "looney." Her district was drawn out purposely so she or someone like her could be elected to congress. Her district mandated and enforced by federal design cross weaves a narrow strip of Georgia nearly 200 miles long stretching from Atlanta to Augusta. Only the black communities along the way are included in the route while white communities inbetween are bypassed.

Shamefully, we are stuck with her if ever sanity returns to america. And no, it ain't Georgia's fault. She is there in congress because the fed said it will happen.

Congratulations and thank you for your courageous efforts. 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.
