Many well-deserved KUDOS to firebrand! I really admire her tenacious courage in representing the GOP and promoting GOP/Conservative candidates in NYC. The NYC and Tri-State area is probably one of the toughest, if not
the toughest, areas in the country in which to penetrate the stranglehold the 'RATs have on local, state and national politics. Taking part in a FReep or expressing support for the GOP in this part of the country is to do so
truly within enemy territory.
Firebrand: I know organizing the many rallies in NYC proved to be pretty frustrating at times. Without your savvy NYC know-how and guidance, though, I know these rallies probably never would've taken place. Besides the many rallies you organized and took part in that RaceBannon mentioned above, I'd like to add that it took tremendous courage to do your two "one-woman FReeps" in NYC: Rockefeller Center (at Christmastime, I believe it was) and the other one at Fox News Channel, a rally in which no other FReepers showed up.
A Standing Ovation today for firebrand! :-)

Thanks SO MUCH for sharing the additional information about firebrand, along with the Standing Ovation for her! Now, WHERE IS FIREBRAND THIS MORNING?!
Aw shucks, nutmeg. Thank you. Piano Man did join me at the Christmas tree freep, near the end. We will get going again on freeping after the November elections---right now everyone's energy is behind the candidates.
You are very kind to write such nice things about me. Special thanks to you and zelig, too, who have to travel from the north country to attend freeps and other political activities in NYC.
