Obama did not build this. The FReepers did!! ObamaLeaks - OPSEC!
Excerpt: Intelligence and Special Operations forces are furious and frustrated at how President Obama and those in positions of authority have exploited their service for political advantage. Countless leaks, interviews and decisions by the Obama Administration and other government officials have undermined the success of our Intelligence and Special Operations forces and put future missions and personnel at risk.
The unwarranted and dangerous public disclosure of Special Forces Operations is so serious -- that for the first time ever -- former operators have agreed to risk their reputations and go 'on the record' in a special documentary titled 'Dishonorable Disclosures.' Its goal is to educate America about serious breaches of security and prevent them from ever happening again. Click here for FR's Leaker-in-chief discussion thread!

Freepers Against Voter Fraud:
The whole point of this exercise is to get more conservative voters involved in changing the laws to close loopholes which make it easy to cheat, to promote the enforcement of existing election laws and to take part in the election process at the local level all with the goal of intercepting future fraud campaigns. In other words our goal is to STOP THE RATS FROM HIJACKING THE ELECTION PROCESS AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK! Click here.
The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots Program:
was founded by Major Bill Hendricks-with the support of the Marine Corps Reserve Unit in Los Angeles in 1947! At that time, they collected 5,000 toys for needy children. It was so successful that in 1948 the Marine Corps adopted it and expanded it nationwide as the U.S. MARINE CORPS RESERVE TOYS FOR TOTS PROGRAM. The Toys For Tots program is the Marine Corps' premier community action program. Click here to learn how you can help in your area or to make a donation!
FReeping:
Join Operation Infinite FReep!
Free Republic has been rallying in support of our President and the war effort since shortly after the terrorist attack on America on September 11, 2001. Later, as the inevitable war against Iraq drew closer, more and more of the "useful idiots" of the left began crawling out of the woodwork organizing so-called "anti-war" protests. FReepers are working to ensure that these communist organized (See: INTERNATIONAL A.N.S.W.E.R.) demonstrations do not go unanswered. Patriotic Americans are countering these misguided terrorist supporting leftist groups wherever and whenever they show up. Join or form a Free Republic Chapter, grab your signs, unfurl the flag, and prepare to support your country!

We have no clients, customers or employees. We do not accept paid advertising. Free Republic is not affiliated with any political party, group, news source, government agency or anyone else. Free Republic is not a traditional business. We are a political discussion forum and independent grassroots conservative activist group supported by donations from our readers and participants.

In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule... continued here.

Free Republic is a non-commercial site. Please do not post advertising, solicitations, spam or any other commercial messages. Do not spam us with links to your own site. No one likes spam. Free Republic is a site dedicated to the concerns of traditional grassroots conservative activists. We're here to discuss and advance our conservative causes in a more or less liberal-free environment. We're not here to debate liberals. We do not want our pages filled with their arrogant, obnoxious, repugnant bile. Liberals, usurpers, and other assorted malcontents are considered unwelcome trolls on FR and their accounts and or posts will be summarily dismissed at the convenience of the site administrators. Free Republic does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government. Free Republic advocates a return to constitutionally limited government, reserving all government powers not expressly delegated by the constitution to the United States to the States respectively, or the people, emphasizing sovereign state governments, local government, self-government and self-rule, while restricting government powers to only those enumerated in the constitution and maximizing individual rights and liberty as originally envisioned and established by our Founding Fathers and secured and defended by the blood of patriots and statesmen for over two hundred years. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." -- The Declaration of Independence, In Congress, July 4, 1776
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." -- The Ninth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." -- The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?" -- Ronald Reagan, January 20, 1981

Absolutely agree, Onyx. I’d love to see it knocked out in a week. I’ve often wondered why those who donated the previous freep-a-thon don’t just immediately donate the same amount. It could be over easily in a week.
Wholeheartedly agree about Taglines. They’re seen by thousands. During Freepathons, solid responses and attitudes could influence people we never see.
Sweetest, awesome you, xzins! YOU gave me the idea about the taglines. Thank YOU so much! I want to hit the 2nd Quarter FReepathon hard, because we’re losing Team Members because of these 2 month long FReepathons and who can fault them? NOT ME!
MORE Monthly Donors and 300 Club Members are the answer, but Members can’t be shy with regard to having their names posted on the lists!
I need to get dressed to go to Home depot at 6:00 AM. Big doings underway here at my house to get it ready for sale. LOL.
Thanks so much. My ride is in route. Yikes!
I saw this ping and went: WHAAAAT???
Now I read your point and will adjust tagline right now!
when I saw this New “Freepathn thread”...I thought Id REALLY slept in....
Crossing fingers for a quick house sale at a good price!
I hope you get the house stuff all done the way you want.
That sounds great, TOL. It may sound silly, but I’ve always believed that broccoli is a very healthy vegetable.
Oh, it’s not silly! There is nothing silly about broccoli when it comes to your health. It’s great stuff.
:)
Did you read the new report on water supply in California having just one year available. It is also reported that 90% of all broccoli is grown in California.
Where will we get it in 2017? LOL
The broccoli we get here in Ohio comes from Mexico. It’s “California blend,” broccoli
and cauliflower. So California’s woes won’t keep good veggies out of our diets.
