STATEMENT

Washington, D.C. March 1, 2002. Counsel for Mrs. Tripp understands that a tabloid newspaper may be releasing information regarding Mrs. Tripp's current medical condition in an upcoming story. Instead of having the matter become a topic of speculation or rumor, Mrs. Tripp's counsel, Stephen M. Kohn and David K. Colapinto are releasing the following statement:

"We acknowledge that Linda is being treated for breast cancer at this time. She has asked us to pass on her thanks to those individuals who have sent her such supportive and encouraging messages. However, this is indeed a very private and personal matter and we all hope that everyone will understand and respect her right to privacy in dealing with such a difficult challenge. We can confirm that Mrs. Tripp is demonstrating exceptional courage and personal dignity in meeting this challenge. We hope you will join her family and friends in praying for her full recovery. No additional questions will be answered regarding Mrs. Tripp's current medical condition at this time. Persons wishing to express support for Mrs. Tripp may contact the Linda Tripp Defense Fund web site at www.lindatripp.com."

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

I'm sorry to hear this. I still don't think people realize how serious breast cancer is. Simply removing the breast does not remove the cancer. Best wishes to Linda Tripp.

[Jim Robinson]

Yes, very sorry to hear this. Prayers going up for Linda.

[meandog]

Linda is in my prayers...she's proven herself to be one courageous patriot and she'll win this battle too!

[Joe Driscoll]

We hope you will join her family and friends in praying for her full recovery.

Done.

This is very sad news, my mom also went thru this and had a breast removed. The only good news is if this has been caught early she can still go on for many years. This happened to mom in 1970 and she is still with us today. I wish a speedy recovery to Linda. Prayers too!

So sorry to hear this....I just send Linda a note of encouragement ...and will be praying for her complete recovery. Breast cancer if caught early (usually before spreading to the lymph nodes) is quite curable.

As I recall both Nancy Reagan & Betty Ford were diagnosed and recovered many years ago.

[Bahbah]

I do not care who it is that has breast cancer. They can count on my continued prayers.

[eddie willers]

So sorry to hear this.
A brave woman with another battle to face.

One very enjoyable night was sitting in front of the computer listening to Linda speak at the South Carolina Freeper meeting over the old FireTalk.

[The Shrew]

Our prayers will go up for her.

Regards,

TS

Will be praying for this courageous patriot; place her on prayer thread, please.

Bump. Best of luck and prayers to Linda Tripp.

[4CJ]

I join each of you in prayer for Ms. Tripp. She has done much for our country, for that I thank her as well. I also pray for each of you - I know you both have enough problems of your own, without adding those of others. May God bless you and yours. Amen.

[dittomom]

That's horrible news. I will certainly keep Linda in my prayers as she fights this next battle.

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you for bringing this to our attention Jim. I'll send off a note of encouragement to Linda. I certainly wish her all the best during this trying ordeal.

[mombonn]

I added her to my prayer list earlier today. My heart goes out to her.

[nicmarlo]

I just heard about this on Hannity's show. Prayers going up for her.

[lonestar]

God bless Linda Tripp.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

It always seems the wrong people suffer,she did not deserve this.
