Hay don't you no that I am the king of tyupos....?
You should have spelled that "hole"...but the whole thing maybe is what you meant...
Sour grapes doesn't suit you.
Sure there are significant disagreements amoung FReepers about how we are to be organized and how we conduct ourselves, but when we loose sight of the real objective of advancing our common cause of liberty, then we all loose.
It pained me greatly to not be able to include the DC chapter in the conference slide show presentation (at your request), as I consider your hard work and dedication in "getting in the face" of our National leaders on their home turf to be an integral part of the FreeRepublic team. But I honored the agreement between the DC chapter and FRN as best I could, even when it left a huge whole in the FReeper story. </>
I hope that you guys can find it in your heart to work with FRN and not against it. It is far from perfect, but without it we would have one less tool to fight the good fight against liberalism and for freedom and justice.</>

Hi, anymouse!
We've looked at the photos in the folder marked "Capital Area" and some of the photos are not DC Chapter members at all (the ones with diotima in them).
We would appreciate it if you would take our photos out of the Capital Area folder. The DC Chapter of Free Republic is independent of the FR Network and our photos should not be shown under any "Capital Area" heading or folder. Please make sure our section is separate and marked as "DC Chapter of Free Republic."
The photos of our "Warpaint" freep outside the Old Executive Office Building on Pennsylvania Avenue sure were colorful and we had lots of fun in headbands and warpaint. The DC police designated our rally site to keep us away from confrontations with other protesting groups. We had a great time that day.
Thank you for your hard work and efforts. I hope you have a great time in Las Vegas. Sauropod will be accepting the DC Chapter award. Neither Kristinn nor I are able to make it there. Kristinn has no vacation until October and I took mine earlier this summer at Hilton Head and Austin, TX. It was good to see you again at the Heart of Texas meeting. Take care.

By the way, we have been told that Bob J would not allow Taxman or sauropod to read the DC Chapter acceptance message that Kristinn and I wrote for FRiva attendees and FReepers everywhere. Following is the brief message we wanted to convey:
For just about four years, members of the DC Chapter of Free Republic have tried to represent fellow FReepers across the country honorably. It has been our pleasure to have met many wonderful, patriotic America-loving people.
We want to thank Jim Robinson for creating and maintaining his revolutionary web site, Free Republic. We also want to thank all those who have stood beside us throughout the years and those who have supported us through donations to Angelwood's Button Fund and the Patriots Rally held last April.
Thank you.
