Re Kristinn.....agree! He is a true patriot and greatly appreciated. May God bless him for all he does in support of our military and our country.
Dr. Raoul's energy and commitment was both inspiring and life-altering to so many of us who witnessed his passion. He served to give many of us the courage to stand up for what was wrong, and to actually speak out in public....something we would usually be most hesitant to do!
While he often chose a comical way of presenting himself as a critic of a variety of issues, those who knew him realized that there was brilliance behind his signs and costumes. He was a genius who needed to express himself. He was a patriotic American who saw what was wrong and tried to speak out.
Kristinn, you have been no less instrumental in countless ways. You have also spent years of your time and money confronting what is wrong. Like Dr. Raoul, you have inspired all of us with your dedication, courage, intelligence, and sense of purpose. Everyone here knows this. Thank you for being the American patriot that you truly are.
And, thank you for this memorable tribute to Dr. Raoul. He will always be remembered.
Know of my gratitude and respects to all who work as hard as the Doctor and You in front of and behind the scenes....... just sorry I didn’t thank Raoul before he passed away......
Prayers for the good Doctor , his family, his friends and freepers.....
Hear hear. Agreed.
Kristinn,
Thanks for your efforts in reminding us what a great FReeper Doctor Raoul was. My condolences and prayers for the family.
FRegards,

SG, I know you’ve been a road warrior to get to NJ...but wanted you to see this lovely tribute by kristinn.
Thoughts and prayers to all for a safe trip and special condolences to Dr. Raoul’s family, including his FReeper Family.
I too bet.
I freeped Mrs. Clinton’s book signing in Ridgewood New Jersey in 2003 with Doctor Raoul. We lost a great one.
Thanks for the ping, sweetie!
A wonderful tribute to a Conservative Hero!
Very well said. Thank you.
You’re welcome darling SG. I’m there in heart and spirit.
Thank you for representing Doc’s FReeper Family.
He will be missed. Great writeup Kristinn!
Kristin, this is a wonderful tribute to an extraordinary man.
I count as one of my life’s best experiences standing with you, the good Doctor, AGreatPer, and others at the White House Saturday Freeps a few times in 1999 and 2000. Ranks right up there with being at the March for Justice in October, 1998 in DC to call for Clinton’s impeachment.
I hope Dr. Raoul’s example will inspire Freepers to Freep on. Our nation is in great peril, and good people need to speak up.
Please extend to his family the heartfelt thanks and admiration from us Freepers, and please give us an after action reportof the services.
Thanks for the kind words on the tribute. Doctor Raoul was one of a kind. I’m getting ready to board a plane for Philadelphia for the funeral. Be back later.
You represent those of his FReeper Family who could not make the trip. Know we’re with you in spirit and send our prayers. There will not be another like him!

Fond Florida FReeper memories of Dr. Raoul.
Please pass on condolences to Raoul’s family from the Florida chapter.
I was fortunate that the good Doctor asked me to ‘play’ Hillary for a Halloween FREEP at the tourist exit from the White House. It was a Saturday and the DC Chapter was out in force! What a fantastic FREEP!
I wore a black robe & pointed witch hat with NY logo; carried a Yankees pendant and carpet bag with this sign: ‘Scrape the Bottom, Vote for Rodham.’ Raoul was in his bright Red Devil suit with a sign saying ‘My Sister Married Bill Clinton’ and a big arrow pointing to me!
The tourists were doubled over in laughter and many wanted photos with us. I recall especially some from China who were amazed at what we were doing!
Doctor Raoul was such an inspiriation. I will always recall is quick mind, great wit and courage.
May he rest in peace and may his family be comforted by the knowledge that he is so loved.
Good to see you, JulieRN21, and thanks for sharing your remembrances of the good Doctor.
OUTSTANDING, kristinn! R.I.P. Doctor.
