From the bottom of my heart, God Bless you Jim! And thank you so very much for all that you do and for giving us Free Republic! You are an inspiration to us all!

Thank you all very much for putting up with me.

We love you, Jim.

I found FR around 1999. I lurked for a year or two and finally joined around 2000 or so. This site has been a saving grace to me. I think I got a blister on my index finger refreshing every two minutes during the 2000 election. I still visit a few others sites, but they never seem to be as up to the minute or have as many intelligent posters as we have here.

Jim, thank you for allowing me to see that there are others who have the same thoughts and frustrations as I do. It helps to keep the sanity.

"the reminders on the threads help tremendously' I, for one, am just glad that helen thomas is not in heavy rotation anymore. I note some very good efforts to tie the freepathon reminders to the thread they are posted in.

“Putting up with you” = crazy talk...LOL.

to poke Obama right in the eye with a sharp Ryan-shaped stick.

That left a mark. Getting to the thread late - due to my work schedule. Sure glad I didn't miss your post. "Poking Obama in the eye with a Ryan-shaped stick." Then add the Newsweek article provoking Obama with Ryan again. I have a few things to smile about today.

I am advertising your post.... too clever not to spread around.

Other than my 11 years Navy, it was the greatest honor of my life to be part of that effort. I still think of it come every October. It was an absolute privilege to serve with SO many Patriots. We were the first Internet based demonstration in DC and I still find wonder in how many came from all points of our Country. Not a large group, but they paid their own way, simply through web contact that was mostly dial up at the time.

While FR folks have done other great things (especially Kristinn DC group with the Walter Read weekly thing), and I've participated in some ... You, BobJ, JoyinDC, jolly, CAL, myself, and the many many volunteers will always have "The March For Justice".

Just wish I had the time to watch the festivities, especially with Neil assisting you in front of the opening ceremony with all the State flags. But duty called me everywhere on the grounds as you may recall. Unlike the liberal demonstrations of the time and now, we left the grounds immaculate.

Bless you old Patriot. I'm truly sorry I let Mojo get into my head with their anti-freeper nonsense. I just hope somewhere you saw me defending you and your family. Still, no excuse. One of my biggest regrets - hope some day you will forgive me.

Best to you and yours,
