There are still lots of FReepers who have not chosen to fly their flag. You don't have to provide any additional information, although lots of FReepers have provide pictures, e-mail addresses, and the like, you don't have to! It would be nice if you would at least "fly your flag".
This allows other FReepers in your state to FReepmail you to let you know about local FR events - rallies, chapter meetings, and other activist events.
Even if you don't plan to participate, it'll keep you informed of what is happening in your state. Now, FLY YOUR FLAGS!
Even if you don't care to "fly the flag" of your state, at least select United States as your country so that you'll be flying Old Glory. Selecting your "Location" on your FReeper Profile doesn't provide any real information about you that can be used in any meaningfully underhanded ways.
So don't hesitate today. Go to your personal profile page.
Just click on the link I just provided and select Edit Profile. There, you can select the flag you want to fly under (by using the location drop-down list) and post a few tidbits about yourself if you wish.
This is a great tool for activism to get FR chapters going in your area. We need to be united now more than ever! This makes it easy to find FReepers in your state and you can FReepmail 'em to see if you can get something going.
Once you have your flag selected, you can then click on that flag (from your profile page and see how many other Freepers are flying the same flag. Also, there is a message board under each flag so that you can communicate with the Freepers who live in your area.
Then you can click on the Scorecard option (available when you click on your flag) and see the breakdown of Freepers from every state and country.
Even more, you can use HTML in your profile, insert images, backgrounds,etc. It is fun to check out the profiles of fellow Freepers to gain more insight into who they are. There are some great profiles out there. Check some of them out by clicking on their Screen Name.
Please note, this is the public domain, so don't include any information that you don't want publicized. Your profile can include as much or as little information as you want it to. At a minimum, I see no harm in everyone "flying" their flag of choice on their profile page!

Sacred Lives
Sacred lives, every one
they fought and got the job done
sent enemies on the run
this, their weekend in the sun
At times I get dismayed
at the lack of justice displayed
then I remember those who died
the markers of their graves
knowing their families cried
at the sacrifice they gave
They died for the American creed
justice for all, assist those in need
a belief in a Supreme Being
what else gives life meaning?
Our enemies think we’re through
we know that’s not true
the battle will be long
our internal enemies are strong
they control the schools
they control the news
teaching our children to be fools
idolizing famous ghouls
May we the remnant be strong
spreading the word along
that freedom can be bought
but, the cost is steep
remembering those who fought
resting in eternal sleep

Still a tough call.

Only four more for California to reach 1,000.
Texas 992 FReepers
Are you Texans really going to let California beat you to 1,000?
Eaker
Gotta reach that nice round number.
Maybe they feel safer, attacking my state, while remaining conveniently anonymous.
