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coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.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.

John McCain is our best hope to stop Hillary. That's what the MSM told us.*

* Would that be illegal electioneering or free speech according to McCain?

"I'm stunned! This can't be true!"

It can't be, because today is not a primary election day:

"transmitted over the internet for the 30 days immediately preceding a primary election."

"Under what jurisdiction? The state of California's primary, or what? Because I know that some states (like Texas and Illinois) have already had their primaries."

That is what I thought I first, but the California primary is on June 06, 2006. This is a joke, I think.

How about if we have all recipes, all the time??

Or just a continuous "24" thread?

Or just a continuous American Idol thread??

We promise to be good,---nah, forget that, we cannot promise that.
