A Few of FR's Finest.....
......Every Day

FR is a Treasure Trove of talented, compassionate, patriotic, wonderful people who gather every day to discuss the latest news and issues;  salute
and support our military and our leaders;  tell a few jokes;  learn a new
word;  write poetry;  pray for those in need;  and congratulate those who
are deserving. Thank you, Jim Robinson, for giving us the vehicle in which
we can express ourselves.

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.  I
can remember lurking when there were only a few regulars who posted, and now there are over 60,000 who have registered for posting privileges. The forum is read daily by tens of thousands
of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest November 11, 2001

So many people have written me since my original Veteran's Day Tribute, asking how they, or a loved one, could be included in that tribute. Since I can no longer add the photos to the body of the thread, I've been including them in additional posts as I received enough to make another collage.

Still that doesn't seem to be enough. I think there's never been a better nor more appropriate time to keep the faces of our own Veterans and Active Military in front of FReepers--every day! That's why I wanted to do yet another Daily Thread .....ABOUT FReepers .....and FOR FReepers. But not only about our Military FReepers; for all FReepers! Wouldn't it be nice to get to know a few of the other FReepers as well? That's why, in addition to seeing FR's Finest Military Personnel every day, I thought it might be fun to feature a different FReeper (or FReepers) each day. If you would like to be pictured, or know someone who would, please FReepmail me and we'll turn the spotlight - on YOU - for the day!

And do let me know if you'd like your picture added to the groups of Veterans/Active Military below. I will keep this page updated, and continue to add them to the comment section of the original Veteran's Day thread as well.

New York, New York!
Like the rest of you, I'm "Getting to Know You", more of you, better every day. Today we shine the on firebrand, a native of East Orange, N.J., who has lived in Manhattan since her college years. She first became political in 1992 because of neighborhood events, and in '94, switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. Firebrand is presently a local GOP leader and is also active in GOP clubs around town.

FReeper since 02-27-00

Firebrand has a high profile job as an editor of conservative material and prefers not to have her photograph published. Since she joined FR in February of 2000, she has become more than just a passive FReeper, and her list of accomplishments and activities include the following:

• Chapter Executive of the Tri-State Chapter
• (Prior to becoming the Chapter Executive, she was the New York City Group Leader);
• Editor of the Clinton Legacy Cookbook;
• Organizer of the Bush rallies in Times Square and practically every other rally and protest FR has held in New York City.

A few words about firebrand shared with me by another FReeper:

"She organized the Freeps in Times Square to call on Al Gore and LIEberman to give it up in late November 2000 and December 2000.  She was at the UN Freep, I think, the Mexican Embassy, the one where the globalists marched, we sang patriotic songs and the Cops loved us, extended our permits for unlimited time! Rudy in Newburgh, too, she was there when Rudy shook all our hands and posed for pictures with us, Kathryn Prudhomme in front of Hillary's campaign headquarters in NYC...." ~~ Race Bannon

I always enjoy seeing some of the threads linked on a FReeper's Profile Page. Firebrand has a variety of topics on hers, with such names as: Non-War On Terror; Best Memories of Favorite FR Posters No Longer Posting; Campaign Finance Revision Act; Combatting Christianity; Disrupting on FR; Democrats Mess With Texas But Run Risk of Going Too Far; Global Warming: Scientists Unravel Whodunnit; FreeRepublic.com Makes Page Six of NY Post; just to name a few.

Thanks, Firebrand!
You're One of FR's Finest!

Those are purty flowrs, .30Carbine. Beautiful. Thanks for your support. We need each other in Libbo-land.

[Mama_Bear]

Unfortunately, I can stay around today

Good grief......that was supposed to be CAN'T stay around today. I need a proof-reader! LOL!

See you all later. :-)

[Billie]

I keep wanting to play "Hello, Dolly" for you! It's so nice to have you back again where you belong!

[firebrand]

Fireworks!!! Okay, now my day is complete.

I have to lie down for a while. This is all too much. Be back later. : )

[Billie]

Your flowers are so bright and cheery for firebrand this morning!

And as for your Pssssst!Stay tuned! :)

[Billie]

Afternoon to you, Miss Colleen! Nice celebration! :)

[Billie]

Hey, MB! Love our new Welcome graphic! Your Firebrand graphic was adorable, too! There is nothing like a little kid dressing up in a hat!

[WVNan]

I'm back. It plays Courtesy of The Red White and Blue by Toby Keith. At least it does on my computer (g). Some of the words fit the things you have done and we are so proud of you and for your willingness to put yourself on the line for freedom. God bless.

G'day, everyone!

I have been on "pins and needles" all day thanks to our nationally publicized 4th District Congressional show-down.

McKinney's side pulled a fast one yesterday. They had automatic pre-recorded calls going out to the Republican voters stating it is a "federal offense" to cross party lines in a political primary.

That, folks, is a desperate sign of a desperate woman. In some states that is true when voting in a primary (i.e., FL where I come from). In GA it is NOT true. Last report I heard said that the Secretary General of GA is leading a criminal investigation into the calls. (YESSSSS!)

Anyway, I really wanted to check in and give my warmest congratulations to Firebrand. Your accomplishments are outstanding and you have so much to be proud of! Kudos to you and all that you do! May God bless you abundantly in your endeavors to right political wrongs. We could sure use your help here in the 4th Congressional District of GA.

Love and {{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}} to everyone. Hopefully, I will have some HAPPY news to share about the election come tomorrow.

Oh, what a terrible thought, Aqua. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.....voter fraud scares me to death - it's the only explanation for the way the last election was almost stolen from us, because there is no way gore legitimately 'won' all that was reported he won, and if Dubya had been the same kind of roll over Republican that so many of our Candidates have been, we wouldn't be calling him President Bush right now. Thank God he had the backbone and the determination to hang in there.

[WVNan]

Hi Mama_Bear. Is your day going well?

Fingers crossed, d'sangel. Anxious for you - know how tough it is to wait for results - even sometimes we think it's a sure thing, and WHOOPS! what happened?!

[Billie]

Good afternoon, blackie! Enjoyed the joy ride yesterday. :)

[WVNan]
