Can I put you down on my "emergency contact" list? ;o) You're amazing! Thank you ALL for your continued efforts to find Alice. It's because of your tenacity that this story has made national news and LE has gotten so involved. A lot of prodding goes a long way!

Free Republic IS an amazing place! You activists know how to light fires! We lurk daily and sometimes post but the sheer volume of news and commentary sweeps us away.

TimeBomb2000 is our Internet "home" because we've been there over 4 years and it is concerned with in-depth analysis of challenges confronting a rapidly changing world, and being prepared physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually for disruptions and disasters which are inevitable on this planet.

We're in the Cascadia Subduction Zone where geologists say a 9+ earthquake could happen "any day now" ...

And look how quickly a man-made CRIMINAL act can turn a family's world totally upside down :_(
