The above short history of John Hunter Holt rang a bell for me, a liberty bell, if you will. There exists an uncanny echo from yesterday's history to today's headlines.
The importance of a free press and the vitality of independent commentary as found on Free Republic has significant historical roots in the founding and preservation of our great country.
The "sound" of new ideas, conservative activism, critical commentary, intelligent discussion and banter are found right here on Free Republic 24 hours a day, each and every day delivered free over the internet. The discussions on Free Republic are "heard" by those whom we elect to govern us as well as those who would take away our freedoms.
The many parallels found in the history of one printer and publisher to this online conservative forum, Free Republic, spell out the critical importance of keeping Free Republic in working order.

I Pay-Pal’d it today.
Fascinating. Like two people discovering calculus at the same time.

A BTT for a great post. I’d encourage anyone with the means to consider - is FR worth a buck a day to you? Less than a cup of coffee?
