On Site Report: Bob Barr Fundraiser
Washington, DC – Tuesday, 11 June at 7pm

Tuesday, I had the privilege of attending a fundraiser for Congressman Bob Barr at the home of Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform. Norquist, along with David Keene hosted the event, which that ran from 6:30 PM to a little after 9:00. There were about 40 persons in attendance including Chuck Muth, Executive Director for the American Conservative Union, Gary Aldrich, President and Founder of the Patrick Henry Center and TrueBlackMan, Government and Political Affairs Director for the African American Republican Leadership Council.

Congressman Barr gave a few remarks concerning his primary race. It is a tight race and one that pits him against a fellow Republican Congressman John Linder for Georgia’s newly drawn 7th Congressional District.

When I got an opportunity to talk with Congressman Barr, he spoke warmly of Free Republic and all the Freepers he has come to know. I thanked him for his years of support and we talked of the need to get Freepers involved with his reelection campaign. There was mention of a daylong event upcoming on August 10th. He, along with other conservative leaders, will be canvassing District 7 to motivate voters to come out and support him at the polls on August 20th.

For more information on assisting with the Barr Campaign, please VOLUNTEER or email Brad Alexander, Congressman Barr’s Campaign Manager.

I love how you write your posts with links and references. If there were more of this FR would start to lose it's "TinFoil" reputation. Excellent work! You do us all credit when you post like this!

I've stood on that stairway myself. All eyes weren't looking at me though ;-)

Regards,

TS

It’s not that they like Linder all that much. His voting record differs so little from Barr’s that the two men stipulated at a recent debate — or “joint appearance” as they call such things these days — that they agree on just about everything. It’s just that the Democrats simply cannot stand Barr.

Neither can the libertarians. They have vowed to do all they can to defeat Barr because he offends their pro-dope sensibilites.

This picture was from Grover Norquist's home? Where's the Saudi flag? Must be over his bed.

Personally, I'm glad I'm not in this district and would have to choose between Linder and Barr. They're both good men who deserve our support. What a shame we have to lose one of them.

Linder is going to win, probably by 15%

Sorry for the interruption, folks. Rommel2 was a returned banned poster. If comes back again, he'll be deleted again. I support Bob Barr 100% and I'm not going to allow FR to be used by disruptors to run smear campaigns against him.
Thanks, Jim
