Didn’t realize there was any connection, other than common membership.

Remember the amazing US Flag hot air balloon? They gave away copies of the Constitution at events.

Me too! On Prodigy, followed Drudge Whitewater link! Had to re-sign up in ‘98. Been Freeping ever since! One of my biggest thrills was posting early one morning, then turning on Rush and have him open the show with my comment!
Yep he’s been lurking from the start!

We showed folks that conservatives could protest, do it well, and have a heck of a good time.

Prodigy here too...Then a computer loss and husbands final illness. Finally got back on FR in late 1998 when things calmed down and I had a new computer. Gateway ! Used it for years.

Do you remember the date of the first rally at the capitol? I was there and came from Florida several times that first few years. I was there to support impeachment and the Judges who were nominated, but not confirmed, too.

Rush missed the fact that in 2012 with the Republican Party not including TEA Party opinions and power that we all gave TEA Party support, $ to candidates not from our areas, and lots of local office holders primary and election support. We had decided to make changes from the bottom...up!

Sarah Palin’s treatment seemed the last straw for many of us. Obama’s re-election and Allan West not fighting hard enough in West Palm were the beginning of a long “cooling off” time for many of my friends.

Veterans issues are always important to me. I am trying to get active again...my heart is having trouble getting into it! LOL

I was audited every year after helping that banner plane come over Cape Canaveral when the Clintons came for a shuttle launch. Their “guards” took our names and photos and warned us we were a threat to the President!

ITS NOT THE SEX ITS THE LIES

Great memories!

I heard Rush when he was talking about this.

He must have been on the topic of Free Republic for several minutes. It was refreshing to hear him talk about Free Republic and the early days when folks here were upset that the Republican Party wouldn’t stay true to it’s ideals.

He said we were the first people to go there. He also touched on the fact that a good portion of us were chagrined by Bush’s big spending.

I’ll see if I can’t pull that sound down, and make the clip available. It was definitely worth the listen.

Did my heart good.
