Free Republic's International Influence
It's FReepathon time again and, as grateful FReepers, we thought it would be timely to let people know how much Free Republic has influenced political events in Canada.
Two and a half years ago we started Free Dominion as the Canada Chapter of Free Republic. When we launched our website we were touched by the moral support of hundreds of FReepers who contacted us and wished us well. We have been encouraged by our involvement in the Free Republic Network, educated at the Las Vegas FR Convention, and we enjoy being members of the FR forum.
The Canada Chapter has become very active in realworld political activities. From our first little Freep, where only a handful of us showed up in Hamilton, Ontario, to protest a speech by ex-POTUS Bill Clinton, to our recent Rally for America on Parliament Hill in Ottawa that attracted nearly 10,000 people, we are growing in both numbers and influence.
Free Dominion is currently involved in fighting same sex marriage legislation and the hate crimes bill, organizing a proposed FReep of the Dixie Chicks in Ottawa, and planning our annual banquet where we give awards to principled conservative politicians and media figures.
Online, our Canadian forum has taken off. According to Alexa.com, we are now in the top 17,000 websites in the world, generating almost 3 million hits a month.
And, finally, last week we launched a new forum called Free Dominion Boot Camp. It is an international forum exclusively for conservative kids. It is our goal to provide a safe online environment where kids can learn and discuss politics from a conservative perspective, hone their debating skills, and learn to distinguish between whether they are being persuaded with reason or manipulated by emotion. The FD Boot Camp will also include a section for homeschooled children. Parents are more than welcome to drop by and see what we are providing for their kids.
The point of this post is to say thank you to Free Republic and to encourage Free Republic members to give generously in the current FReepathon. Not only is Free Republic making a difference in the US political landscape, its waves are being felt internationally.
Your friends from Free Dominion,

Be sure to visit our friends at Free Dominion, pull up a chair, set a spell, look around. Yes, by all means...make yourselves at home any time!
And if you know any conservative kids who are too young to post on Free Republic, they will get a warm reception at the Free Dominion Bootcamp. The kids over there are working hard to increase their numbers. :-)

I am absolutely impressed with Free Dominion, but do understand that America will make Canada an American state someday.
On our flag, there will be 50 stars and a maple leaf.

The bootcamp for kids sounds wonderful. I'll have to let my daughter know. Thanks for your post and good luck to you. Say hello to Jack and Barbra for me.

Hmmm... I read (and post) at Free Dominion frequently (read more than post) and I must say that the Bootcamp Idea is pretty cool - If I can be a DI, let me know - my mini-me, my oldest daughter, was at Target last night with my wife, and when she saw Hillary's book she held it up in the air and said (in her ludest voice) "Look, mom! The Black Book of The Devil!"
Gotta love kids ;0)

To give you all a little perspective, it was not long ago that Free Republic was breaking through the #10,000 rank on Alexa-- so, once you allow for the population size between the US versus Canada, Free Dominion's rise is even more impressive.
