This is just a drill: Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for

Free Republic ^

[Jim Robinson]

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coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.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

That might not be so bad if the server's in a locale where they serve drinks in coconut shells with little umbrellas.

[Hexenhammer]

The whole I-5 corridor from Eugene all the way up to Seattle is just one big liberal tumor in what would otherwise be solid Conservative country.

[Txsleuth]

It just seems like lately, every thread turns into either an immigration bash Bush thread...

Or a just general Bush is rotten thread...

It is like Congress has NO blame, and even though Bush did make a mistake and sign the darn thing, the SCOTUS is exempt also.

I am beginning to think that if they do file articles of impeachment against President Bush, that there will be as many cheering them on HERE on FR...as on DUmmieland.

[freedumb2003]

I guess we are buddies now.

Heck yeah! Good times.

[Quix]

Good. My dad's in Cottonwood. Doesn't think much of McCain.

[potlatch]

Have you seen this - trick or treat?

[freedumb2003]

It just seems like lately, every thread turns into either an immigration bash Bush thread...

Nooo -- some of them end up Crevo or Civil War threads too.

[VanShuyten]

Well, it worked. I've been lurking since I heard about FR in 1999, just after I moved to inside the Beltway. I've sent in a couple of bucks every now and then to assuage my guilt at not thanking everyone for doing the research for me. Tonight Jim got me to join up.
I will give you $1000 towards any defense fund you need to keep online, all the time, every day.

[potlatch]

LOL, can we zot JimRob?

[Old Sarge]

Sons and daughters of the Free Republic, my brothers and sisters!

I read in your posts, the same fear that would take the heart of me.

A day may come when the courage of men fails,
when we forsake our FRiends and break all bonds of fellowship -
but it is not this day!

An hour of wolves and shattered shields,
when the servers of freedom come crashing down -
but it is not this day!

This day we fight!!

By all that you hold dear on this good Earth,

I bid you STAND, BLOGGERS OF THE WEST!!!

[Jim Robinson]

That's great! We may need it if this thing happens. Thanks!

[TASMANIANRED]

Hope you don't have an aversion to red heads.

[freedumb2003]

Some of my favorite people in the world are redheads.

[Alberta's Child]

I see. LOL.

CU later!

[carl in alaska]

Hey great post Sarge! Stay safe over there; we're all praying for you.

[Beagle8U]

Welcome to Free Republic.

[Majie Purple]

Nnnnnnnooooooooooo! Say it isn't so! I just FReepin' got here....Wwwwhhattterr I need Wwwwhhattterr.......It's goin' to be a long; dry 30 days! Day omit!

[Carry_Okie]

Have a nice vacation.

[processing please hold]

Wanting to be counted after being mowed down is worse than ridiculous.

Our military has fought wars to guarantee that we have the right to speak our minds. We have graveyards filled with their bodies around the world that can attest to that. Are you saying they were ridiculous?

[united1000]

A very generous offer, and welcome aboard.
