Are you ready for some FReeping?

Howdy everyone,

The Free Republic Fourth Quarter FReepathon is underway!!

Time to raise the funds necessary to keep Free Republic on the air for the next several months. We've had lots of excitement and heated discussion on these boards in the last months and weeks with the California Recall and special elections. Looks like Grayout Davis is going down for the count and his big tax, big spending partner is gonna be tossed out of the ring with him! This is a very strong message being sent by the voters to the big government politicians in California and nationwide: Enough is enough!

The Davis/Bustamante tag team has busted California and California is busting them! Thank you fellow California FReepers for gathering signatures, protesting, rallying and campaigning all up and down the state to help make this happen! One week from now and we usher in a new governor!!

But this was just the warm up fight. The bell sounds the main event immediately following: George W. Bush vs some yet to be named corrupt liberal Democrat for President of the United States!! Go Dubya!! Go FReepers!!

And, of course, FReepers will be campaigning all across the fruited plains and from sea to shining sea for their favorite conservatives for Congress and Senate and local and state offices. This is our opportunity to sweep out the remnants of the corrupt Clinton era Democrat officeholders and to begin replacing the liberal activist judiciary with judges that will abide by the Constitution rather than making law from the bench! Imagine that! Go Conservatives!!

Stay tuned to Free Republic! You will not want to miss any of the action this quarter or next year!!

And I'm sure you've all read that Free Republic has been slandered by the City of Fresno Human Relations Commission as being a "hate group" holding "hate rallies" and "hate picnics." Well, we are not going to allow this false and libelous accusation stand unanswered! We've filed the required paperwork notifying the City of Fresno that they are about to be sued. They have 90 days to respond or offer to resolve this issue through settlement. If not, then we file suit. We don't expect any major legal expenses for the case this quarter, but there may be some. Consequently, I'm increasing our target this quarter so that hopefully we will have some funds available to cover any expenses related to this effort as they are incurred. We have a favorable financial arrangement with our attorney, but there may be some expenses that have to be covered this quarter.

Thank you all for your continued support and may we all enjoy much success in the coming months!

God bless you all!

Regards,

Jim Robinson
