Last night Melanie Morgan, Howard Kaloogian and a couple others (including myself) all had dinner in Dallas, Texas following the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" Tour and rally in Crawford, Texas organized by Move America Forward and Free Republic.
Howard and Melanie wanted to figure out the best ways to thank Free Republic. They're thinking about sending out a letter, calling individual FReepers and a couple other steps since Free Republic once again played such a crucial role in fighting for the side of freedom, liberty, and support for our country's national security, values and heritage.
I suggested Howard and Mel do a post here at FR. Daunted by trying to figure out how to log in and make a post (with or without html) they instead asked if I could post something for them. So I told them to draft something up and email it to me and I'd get it up.
I'm sitting here at a Starbucks en route back to Sacramento aboard the motorhome we drove Deborah Johns in (along the caravan route). And in checking my email I found the following....

Message to Free Republic Members,
Once again you have proven yourselves to be the most reliable foot soldiers in the conservative movement.
No matter where or when, no matter how daunting the challenge, we know we can count on Free Republic members to be at the ready to do what it takes to fight for the cause of freedom and liberty.
Your commitment to activism begins at the top of your network and extends to all members. We were so delighted to have Free Republic's founder, Jim Robinson and his wife, make the trek from Fresno down to Crawford with us.
Your members spread the word of the "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" Tour to friends, family members and co-workers. You called the news media on our behalf to insist that they cover our activities. You came out to greet us and cheer us on - even when we were running hours late, and despite the fact that often we gave you little advance notice of our arrival into town.
And so many Free Republic Members came out to join the caravan and the giant pro-troop rally in Crawford, Texas on Saturday.
There is a special thanks to the crew that was in Crawford in advance of the event -- doing the hard work of getting our site ready, helping with the program, providing food and beverage, and all the other great amenities that are too numerous to mention here.
It is no exaggeration to say that we could never have achieved the success we had on this trip without your direct participation, assistance and leadership. Our troops serving in the U.S. military and their families have once again been well served by your commitment to the principles that unite your membership.
Please accept this email as just one of many ways we wish to express our deepest appreciation for your help and admiration for your solid adherence to your beliefs. May you continue to speak out, take action and help move America forward without hesitation into the future.
Sincerely yours,
Melanie Morgan & Howard Kaloogian
Co-Chairs, Move America Forward

Thanks New Land! There's lots of great stuff there!
BTTT
Now, if we can just get the "Country Club Republicans" and the "Casual Elephants" to join us when the Looney Left mobilizes. For some reason, the vast majority of Republicans just don't like to get their hands dirty. To their credit, Leftwing Wackos DO ASSEMBLE, making it appear in the media that they represent far more of the electorate than they actually do. Kudos to the Free Republic Faithful who do their part!
To all of you that have someone dear to you serving our country, have lost someone or have a son or daughter going in the military... and for all my FReeper family, I offer this:

I thank all of you for your sacrifices. You have my prayers and my actions on behalf of our beloved troops.
It may be hard to view...it's busy lately...and that's a good thing. Thanks again.
Who has video???? I need it.
"Who has video???? I need it"
I don't know who has it. I believe I read on this thread somewhere, someone referring to video been taken. It is apparently being distributed to our troops in Iraq.
serpentdove or a screen name similar, i believe, is the one who did the video
Personally, I think I should be thanking the Robinsons and the Kooligians and all the other FReepers who participated. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!!!!

Thank you for all you are doing.
You are fine spokesmen to spread our message.
It was a pleasure to assist you.
Free Republic is the #1 conservative web community in America, but our real strength comes when we actually engage ourselves in the real world.
That bodes true for everyone.
