Las Vegas - Free Dominion's Excellent Adventure Conniew and I have recently returned from the Free Republic Convention in Las Vegas. We were warmly received and we had the honor of meeting Jim Robinson, the man who created the Free Republic model we used to design Free Dominion.

First at the beginning when ‘diotima’ said from the microphone, “This convention is misnamed, it should be the International Convention since Free Dominion is present.” This resulted in a round of applause. The second time was during a big screen presentation of all the...

Dear Freepers: I just returned from the First Annual Free Republic Network Convention in Las Vegas. The Free Republic Network Cruise last October was the most fun I've ever had in my whole life.

The Free Republic Network is stretching its muscle, not by talk, but by action. The Free Republic forum is liberty's college. The Free Republic Network is liberty's workplace. If you attended, please use this thread to post your observations, comments and highlights of...

Right after posting my thread regarding the FRiva Las Vegas Conference and Awards Dinner starting Today, I joined the FreeRepubic Network Board and the FRiva Conference committee for a meeting in progress. There BobJ and the group reviewed events for the weekend, discussing necessary taskes that must be carried out and how best to handle them.  Pictured is BobJ, Lowbridge, the Shrew, Auntie Mame and (don't quote me, but I believe) CarieOkie. ...
