Free Republic

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In the spring of 2001, President George W. Bush asked the U.S. Congress to delegate to him a 6-year chunk of Congress constitutional authority over international trade through a process called Fast Track. Bush seeks Fast Track trade authority (which his Administration is attempting to rename "Trade Promotion Authority") to expand the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA.) The proposed NAFTA expansion, formally called the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), would spread NAFTA's rules to an additional 31 Latin American and Caribbean nations by 2005. The publicized goal of the FTAA proposal is to facilitate...

Howdy HOT (Heart of Texas) FReepers and other political activists. This month our FReeper group is planning a very informal meeting (just like most) at Bennigan's Restaurant, in one of their private rooms. Verona, one of our favorite black Republicans, a lurker, and a Travis County precinct chairman, has volunteered to lead us in a discussion on perspectives of "What it's like to be black in America." Perhaps we can share with her our perspectives of "How whites react to blacks in America," etc. Be prepared to ask her questions or share your experiences, also. Hopefully, we can get a...

Free Republic's International Influence It's FReepathon time again and, as grateful FReepers, we thought it would be timely to let people know how much Free Republic has influenced political events in Canada. Two and a half years ago we started Free Dominion as the Canada Chapter of Free Republic. When we launched our website we were touched by the moral support of hundreds of FReepers who contacted us and wished us well. We have been encouraged by our involvement in the Free Republic Network, educated at the Las Vegas FR Convention, and we enjoy being members of the FR forum....

I want to start a Ventura County Chapter! We need to have at least two members to get a chapter going. Please let me know that you are out there and interested. And if you are a lurker, please consider joining Free Republic. I lurked for years before I took that big step forward in the right direction.

Just and urgent reminder that there is an election in Broward County Florida on March 11, 2003. With one stealth homosexual lawyer (trantalis) running for the Fort Lauderdale city commision, and other smaller cities having their commisions up for election it is VERY urgent that Freepers make sure their voices are heard. Broward County has been the butt of jokes and still has many democrat party controlled problems. This is an off election and the politicians COUNT ON low turnout! so VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!!

Attention Bay Area FReepers: Some of us have loosely discussed getting the Bay Area/San Francisco FReeper Chapter up and running again. I've been communicating with Diotima, Director of Chapter and Member Services, Free Republic Network, who tells me that there is a chapter, but it doesn't have a leader. When asked if I would be interested in taking up that role, I said yes, but I'm willing to leave that open to all of you. I don't have a ton of experience with this stuff, but I'm willing to give it a go, especially if no one else wants to!...
