*ATTENTION*-Is Your FreeRepublic Flag Flying?-Here Is How!

Activism/Chapters Front Page Announcement

There are still lots of FReepers who have not chosen to fly their flag. You don't have to provide any additional information, although lots of FReepers have provide pictures, e-mail addresses, and the like, you don't have to!

It would be nice if you would at least "fly your flag". This allows other FReepers in your state to FReepmail you to let you know about local FR events - rallies, chapter meetings, and other activist events.

Even if you don't plan to participate, it'll keep you informed of what is happening in your state.

Now, FLY YOUR FLAGS! Even if you don't care to "fly the flag" of your state, at least select United States as your country so that you'll be flying Old Glory.

We have FReepers who have chosen to fly Old Glory as their flag. If you want to fly other historical flags, see instructions toward the bottom of this post to find the flag you would like to fly in addition to your "Location" flag.

Selecting your "Location" on your FReeper Profile doesn't provide any real information about you that can be used in any meaningfully underhanded ways. So don't hesitate, today.

After you CLICK HERE and go to your personal profile page (you will see a Sub-Menu,click and pull down this menu, to find your state) to fly your states animated flag.

**Just click on the link above and select Edit Profile. There, you can select the flag you want to fly under (by using the location sub-menu drop-down list)** and post a few tidbits about yourself if you wish.

This is a great tool for activism to get FR chapters going in your area. We need to be united now more than ever! This makes it easy to find FReepers in your state and you can FReepmail 'em to see if you can get something going.

Once you have your flag selected, you can then click on that flag (from your profile page and see how many other Freepers are flying the same flag. Also, there is a message board under each flag so that you can communicate with the Freepers who live in your area.

Then you can click on the Scorecard option (available when you click on your flag) and see the breakdown of Freepers from every state and country.

Even more, you can use HTML in your profile, insert images, backgrounds,etc. It is fun to check out the profiles of fellow Freepers to gain more insight into who they are. There are some great profiles out there. Check some of them out by clicking on their screenname whenever you see a post by them. (Click on my name to see my humble profile, then after creating your profile, click on your screen name on your next post. Pretty neat, huh?)

Going through some of the recent posts, I notice that many Freepers have not yet registered what state or country they are from. Please do so as soon as possible! It is a great way to make Free Republic more local and to find friends (who think like you) in your own backyard.

Lastly, thanks to John Robinson for creating this great new feature. Free Republic is getting better all the time.

Please note, this is the public domain, so don't include any information that you don't want publicized. Your profile can include as much or as little information as you want it to. At a minimum, I see no harm in everyone "flying" their flag of choice on their profile page!

For running updates on how many we have at a given time and how many for your state, CLICK HERE.

For a site with some pretty cool animations, including flying flags of all kinds, click the flag below:

They have all kinds of historical, military, Christian, and national flags...

Even if you don't want to fly your state flag, you can fly Old Glory and/or place one of these historical or military flags in your HTML section of your profile. For help with HTML, do a profile search for michigander (or click his name if he posts to this thread) for a great HTML bootcamp!

I've held back posting my flag, but this challenge got my soft spot! I'm a transplant up here, and have found it hard to adjust to such a liberal place. It's hard to be enthusiastic about RINO "Republican" legislators -- esp. for the damage they're doing to property rights. Anyway, count me in...133. (I really wish I was at the beach in USDA zone 9...)

Way to go Ohio Freepers. We'll beat Michigan here (of course, it would be hard to say we could lose when the state voted for Gore) and now that the Buckeyes have a new coach, we'll start beating them in football.

You know I continue to inform Oregonians about our state site. I'm surprised they don't know about it. I think if you changed the title of this post to something like "JOIN YOUR STATE GROUP," "JOIN YOUR STATE SITE - PUT A FLAG ON IT," "WANT TO MEET YOUR STATE'S OTHER FREEPERS? HERE'S HOW," "SIGN UP AT YOUR STATES FREEPER SITE." FreeRepublic Flag flying doesn't let them know they are joining others in their own state. This has probably been suggested a bunch of times so sorry for a repeat.
