My compliments to the chef....Nita, and John...:-)

Seriously, I want to thank all my friends on the ATRW thread for giving so many nice people reasons to smile. Bless you all.

It would not be nearly as enjoyable if you weren't here. :)

I'd like to thank you both ( and all the other good folks ) who make Free Republic an informative and enjoyable site to belong to.

kay, lysie, thanks for the ping. Ya'all are the best.

There are so many people here who I would want to compliment that have made this site great. The same number that I would like to thank for all of their hard work. There are so many that I will not attempt to list them all.

I have met many FReepers in person. FReeped with them, laughed with them, cried with them, broke bread with them. Some of the FReeps were protests, or counter protests. Others were just get togethers. Then, one November morn things started to get real strange. The election would be contested. The election aftermath was gut wrenching. We had to do something to prevent a coup, and FReerepublic was one major rallying point. We did something that the democRATS had never seen before...we went to the streets, in masse. Everywhere we (FReepers, broken glass Pubies, NRA, et. al.) out numbered the gorons. Even in their back yards.

JimRob and JohnRob deserve compliments, but most of all they deserve our sincere thanks. For if not for FR, the Republic may have been lost.
