Now hear this:
Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for 30 days. No non government approved electioneering messages may be transmitted over the internet for the 30 days immediately preceding a primary election.
That is all.
The above exercise was just a drill. But if John McCain has his way with his proposed rules for regulating political free speech on the internet, this is how we will be forced to operate in the coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
If the thought of losing your right to express yourself online makes you mad, it is high time you let Senator John McCain know how you feel.

If so, be prepared for a bunch of dedicated FReeper addicts forced into cold turkey withdrawals. It will not be pretty. That is for sure.

Everyone is making cute little jokes, no one has even started any grass roots activities. This will be the future of the first amendment if you don't get involved. This is what Freepers do best, or at least used to. Start by contacting your reps and senators.

I completely agree with you about McCain, but this forum is our meeting ground. It is watched by people inside and out as a reference for Conservative thought. Right now, it is needed more than ever.

I feel like a by-stander watching the Riechstag burn and just knowing what was coming next. If true, and hey you never know, this is just sending chills through my body.

Your mom did that???
Whoa!
She only faked about it for a minute or so, but I still considered kicking her @ss anyway. And I consider myself to be a southern gentlemen; that's how mad I was.

For a disaster of these proportions, will the government be handing out doses of FReepadone ... and debit cards so we can shop when we would have been FReeping?
