Starting My 12th Year as a Freeper-Happy New Year to All!
Self ^ | December 30, 2009 | exit82

Posted on 12/30/2009 2:21:53 PM PST by exit82

Today is my 11th anniversary of signing up on FreeRepublic. I lurked since the beginning of October, 1998, learned about the March for Justice, and travelled to DC from NJ to attend it to join the voices of those calling for the impeachment of a President who had broken the law. How thrilling it was to arrive at the Washington Monument on Oct. 31, 1998 to see a sea of flags and 4,000 patriots! Seven weeks later, President Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives.

Since that time, Freepers have been instrumental in influencing the 2000(Sore/Loserman and "Get out of Cheney's house!) and 2004 elections(exposing Dan Rather's "fake but accurate" Texas ANG memo and helping the SwiftBoat Vets), in shutting down amnesty not once, but twice in 2006, and in pulling the GOP kicking and screaming to the right as an outcome of the disastrous 2008 election of the Usurper-in-Chief.

All that time, FreeRepublic has been my refuge to find common sense and camaderie in the political battles of these 11 years. Having a place where like-minded America-loving patriots can gather has proven invaluable.

The year 2010 will be a watershed in the history of America. The Constitution and the rule of law are at risk, not unlike as in 1998 when I first came to FreeRepublic. We have but ten more full months to influence, peacefully, the course of our country, through the candidates we support and the causes we work for.

I wish you all a Happy New Year, and express my hope that there will be a new birth of freedom for America in 2010. Together, we can make that happen. God bless us, every one.

The buttons from 1998-2000 were the BEST!

I still have a few—one of them shows the Washington Monument on a slant being raised like the flag on Iwo Jima from the DC Chapter!

Good to “see” you Angelwood-you were and still are a stalwart of the DC Chapter. Hope 2010 is a wonderful year for you!

BP, thanks so much for the picture of the MFJ. What great memories.

Looks like we are still needed in 2010! Hope we can come up with some great activities. April 15th in DC is just around the corner!

Happy New Year to a longtime pillar of the DC Chapter!

Happy New Year to you, my FRiend!

We may yet be doing White House duty in 2010.

Will you be in DC on 4/15/10 for the giant Tea Party?

I' so jealous of you folks who are signed on from '98.

I signed on around that time under another nick but it has been so darn long ago I can't remember what it was.

Started lurking in July. Heard about Free public and the Drudge Report from the Jim Quinn show. Drudge used to have a link to Free Republic back in those days. I had just bought my first computer at the end of June.

The reason I didn't sign up sooner was that Free Republic was inferred to be a radical anti government site, and that if you joined, you would be flagged by the government as a radical.

I examined my philosophy and decided that "Yes, I am anti government in it's present form" and signed up.

This government is still anti American and I am still anti government in it's present form. Looks like I will still be here a bit longer.

Happy New Year!

PS. Wal Mart got ammo and there are no crowds.

Did you sign up on TRS-1000 or Commodore 64?

Now that's just mean coming from a newbie like you!
