Hittin’ the road for the Library!
We are going to be watching you closely. Say Hi to everybody, and it does get better and better each year. You guys are awesome.... Hope Debbie gets to see big numbers right away.
Nixon Library eh. Wish we could have been there. Last time we were at that Library they were undergoing major refurbishment. The place was a mess, but that was a number of years ago...like eight, or ten years.
We came away from our visit wanting “Just Joey” roses. We found them, and the ranch is loaded with them now. Wondering if they still have them in the Rose Gardens there. Beautiful roses. We had quite a show of them this year here at the ranch.
Diana Nagy is looking good, all by herself

Move America Forward | June 17, 2011
Exciting news today, as MAF is confirming that conservative commentator, author and rising star S.E. Cupp has signed up to co-host Move America Forwards 4th Annual Troopathon!
As a political commentator, shes been on FOX News, CNN, C-SPAN, and even MSNBC (bleh).Shes a regular guest appearing on TV with people like Sean Hannity, Greg Gutfeld and Glenn Beck.
Shes joined radio hosts like Dennis Miller, Curtis Sliwa, Mancow, and many more.
She hosts The S.E. Cupp show exclusively on Glenn Beck TV.
An accomplished author, S.E. has written two books. Her first book Why Youre Wrong About the Right came out in 2008 and attacked many cultural misconceptions about conservatives. Last year she released her second book Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Medias Attack on Christianity. She has also written columns and articles on such respected publications as Townhall magazine, Politico, Washington Post, Newsmax, Human Events, American Spectator, and others.
Of course, as with all Troopathon guests, S.E. Cupp is an ardent supporter of our troops. She supported Vets for Freedom and Alaskas Healing Hearts, where she brought wounded US military veterans out on exotic once-in-a-lifetime hunting and fishing expeditions in Alaskas most beautiful and remote places, taking our brave troops after the most elusive, trophy game.

Troopathon is a wonderful event with an even more important mission supporting our troops, and sending the tangible evidence of that support care packages sent to our brave troops on the front lines. Send a care package to our troops now!
it’s really too bad that no one acknowledges these people :
http://goekona.wordpress.com/2009/08/05/hawaii-goe-kona-coffee-for-our-troops-projects/
They are the most consistent hard core , long running troops supporters I have ever seen
Get in touch with them and promote them.
Here on Free Republic and all over the www.
There are a lot of great groups out there that support the Troops, many of them just need a dedicated person like you to get them some recognition
I will tell you this though.
The Troops love getting packages from all of these groups.
That is the most important acknowledgment IMO.

That was probably when the new wing featuring the East Room was being added.
However, sad times have befallen the Nixon Library. The private Nixon Foundation, which ran the library until 2007 foolishly decided that year to make the library a part of the Presidential Library system administered by the National Archives. They did this to get President Nixon's presidential papers which, by law, are held by the National Archivesand Records Administration (NARA).
However, this move proved to be a Faustian bargain. When the government took over, a new director was installed who turned out to be a Nixon-hating leftist who is doing all he can to trash President Nixon's legacy. Nonetheless, the Nixon Foundation still maintains its headquarters in the building and administers part of the facility, including the president's birthplace, while NARA maintains the galleries and the archives. The Foundation continues to sponsor programs at the library, including the Troopathon.
Both NARA and the Nixon Foundation maintain offices under the galleries. The two sides are as different as East and West Berlin. Nixon pictures and signs greet visitors to the Foundation side, while a portrait of President Obama welcomes visitors to the NARA offices. Except for perfunctory greetings and shop talk, NARA and Foundation personnel rarely socialize or converse with one another.
More pictures coming up!

Thanks for that. Interesting. I’d read about the “mistake”, and it’s interesting to read about the results.
Wondering if the gardens are still maintained. They were a reason to return, and time and again return of which my wife and I have stated multiple times we will, but haven’t yet.
We go past Yorba Linda several times a year as we travel from our home in Riverside to Harbor City to have any of our 3 SAAB cars serviced at S.C.C.. We like to stop, shop, or visit say the Nixon Library on the return part of the trip. Makes for a nice day trip.
Thanks for the bump and here is another one
BUMP!
she needs her own show on TV, particularly a news channel that broadcasts in HD.

The TroopAThon Special Broadcast starts right now, featuring everyone from Rush Limbaugh to Sean Hannity and more. Watch it for FREE online right here: www.TroopAThon.org
To understand what this broadcast is all about, read this very special message from Donald LaCombe below...
Today I am attending the funeral for one of the greatest patriots you could ever hope to meet, and I wanted to briefly tell you a little about this man: Vincent Florian.
For nearly seven years I've served as the Director of Care Package operations for Move America Forward, the largest pro-troop organization in the country. During that time we assembled and shipped over 200 tons of care packages that were received by hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops serving overseas.
During this time one of our most loyal volunteers was Vincent, or as we called him, Vince. He and his lovely wife, Barbara, would come nearly every single day putting together these care packages - never receiving a dime's worth of compensation. They volunteered because they believed in the greatness of our American military men and women.

You see, Vince was a veteran himself. He served in the U.S. Air Force, including service during the Vietnam War, and Vince saw first-hand how U.S. Troops got caught up in the politics of war - spit upon and attacked by some Americans who took out their frustrations over the politics of war on those who wore the uniform of the U.S. military.
Vince vowed that no U.S. Troops would ever have to face such treatment again.
There's something else you should know about Vince - he was diagnosed with lung cancer. And so, in the final years of his life, even as he struggled to gasp for air and find the energy to even move, he would still come nearly every single day, working on these care packages.
Last week, Vince breathed his last breath of air and passed away. Today is his funeral, which I will be attending in Dixon, California.
During his funeral, several hundred miles to the south, Move America Forward will be hosting their 4th annual TroopAThon - raising money to send care packages to our troops. Vincent would have loved to be there, but now someone else will have to step forward and take his role of supporting our troops, while Vince watches from the Heaven's above.
You can do your part by sponsoring a Care Package for our Troops during today's TroopAThon effort. To donate a care package, simply visit the TroopAThon Care Package website - CLICK HERE TO SPONSOR CARE PACKAGES.
I want to ask you to please take just 1 minute and 50 seconds to see what this effort is about by watching this video which has clips of Vince and his wife Barbara. It will help you to understand what this is all about and why I'm so emotional in supporting this effort:
One of the things Vince liked to do best was to repair the personal fans we'd ship to the troops to keep them cool. The fans would sometimes get damaged in shipment, and Vince was determined to repair as many of them as possible since he knew the temperatures our troops were facing were over 100 degrees, and that was oppressive when they were already wearing 75+ pounds of body armor.
They don't make men like Vince Florian too much anymore, folks. So please, do me the honor of helping pay tribute to him by sponsoring one of those Care Packages Vince helped assemble each and every day. You can sponsor Care Packages - HERE.
And you can also watch today's 8-Hour TroopAThon live broadcast where there will be a special tribute to Vince. The show features everyone from Rush Limbaugh to Gov. Sarah Palin and some of our finest military men and women. Just log on to: www.TroopAThon.org
Yes, the gardens are well-maintained. Now is a good time to visit, with the roses, agapanthus--aka jewels of the Nile--and yellow day lilies in bloom. Just don't come in February, when the rose bushes are being pruned.



Hi Everybody! Its Melanie Morgan and I'm taking a quick break from the broadcast to say hello to all my Freeper friends.
Doante at Troopathon.org ...LOVE YA! Mel
They need our love and support.
They need to know we Remember Their Sacrifices. My son gave his life for our freedoms. Give in his memory or the memory of a fallen hero in your city.
Howdy Mel!
Howdy Debbie!
Hey everyone! Having a great time at Troopathon! Wish you were all here with me, but I REALLY wish you'd donate at Troopathon.org.
Send a carepackage to the troops with a personalized note to tell them how grateful you are for their service.
Thanks all! SE Cupp
Or just do a massive thypo?
