COULD I BE #1 AGAIN

How do you do that? Never mind, I don't want to know....lol

I just love the pics! Let's give to FReeRepublic in honor of Ronald Reagan! One of the bravest Freedom Fighters this Nation has ever known!

Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realize that the doctor's fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can't socialize the doctors without socializing the patients. Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last. - Ronald Reagan

Help us kill the crocodile!

Support FreeRepublic!

Oh Grannie .. the Good Lord is being good to me .. now if he could do something about PA ... I'd be mighty greatful .. hehe

GO PA .... SHOW THEM THE MONEY

Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

This is what it's all about folks!  This is why we support FreeRepublic! 

Bumping for Liberty is also appreciated!

I don't think we have any challenges on right now, BUT we have had some real dandies the last two nights, : )

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done. - Ronald Reagan

Help FreeRepublic fulfill it's destiny of helping this Nation fulfill it's destiny............

Support FreeRepublic

How about getting some of your friends over here if you've already donated? And don't forget...............we love bumps!

Almost two centuries ago a group of disturbed men met in the small Pennsylvania State House they gathered to decide on a course of action. Behind the locked and guarded doors they debated for hours whether or not to sign the Declaration which had been presented for their consideration. For hours the talk was treason and its price the headsman's axe, the gallows and noose. The talk went on and decision was not forthcoming. Then, Jefferson writes, a voice was heard coming from the balcony:

They may stretch our necks on all the gibbets in the land. They may turn every tree into a gallows, every home into a grave, and yet the words of that parchment can never die. They may pour our blood on a thousand scaffolds and yet from every drop that dyes the axe a new champion of freedom will spring into birth. The words of this declaration will live long after our bones are dust.

To the mechanic in his workshop they will speak hope; to the slave in the mines, freedom; but to the coward rulers, these words will speak in tones of warning they cannot help but hear. Sign that parchment. Sign if the next moment the noose is around your neck. Sign if the next minute this hall rings with the clash of falling axes! Sign by all your hopes in life or death, not only for yourselves but for all ages, for that parchment will be the textbook of freedom the bible of the rights of man forever.

Were my soul trembling on the verge of eternity, my hand freezing in death, I would still implore you to remember this truth God has given America to be free. As he finished, the speaker sank back in his seat exhausted. Inspired by his eloquence the delegates rushed forward to sign the Declaration of Independence. When they turned to thank the speaker for his timely words he couldn't be found and to this day no one knows who he was or how he entered or left the guarded room.

Here was the first challenge to the people of this new land, the charging of this nation with a responsibility to all mankind. And down through the years with but few lapses the people of America have fulfilled their destiny. - Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan knew that God had inspired and blessed this nation...............so does FreeRepublic!

If you agree...................

Support FreeRepublic!

I have the great pleasure of someday telling my grandkids that Ronald Reagan was the First President I ever voted for .. Something I will always be proud of doing ..

and Yes our votes count .. and so does the money ... so let's go folks ... SHOW ME THE MONEY

Hi Texan! I'm trying to catch up on the other threads, but there's a BUNCH of them!

I put the flag up...

"How's it going? Any interesting challenges on the board?"

Fine, now that you are no longer a 'missing person' {;~)

No challenges that I am aware of either at this moment. The phantom fisherman(aka 1John) has indicated he will surface again sometime this afternoon. Last night, the boat was so full we 'spooked' the fish. We had 15 or 16 of us trying to catch an itty-bitty TROUT. Got the yacht rented for later today, so if we don't catch fish, we can party!

Shortly after, a few 'BIG FISH' riled up the whole lake.(Threads 21-23). Keeping score was nearly impossible(Right, BADJOE?), but, I think, it's almost squared away now.

Hi 2nd!

The threads went pretty slow at first but the last few days have been really busy! Good to see ya girl!

He's truly inspiring, isn't he?

this isn't the flag she put up,
but it's a new one we're flying as of this morning...

so pardon the shameless plug,
but on behalf of all us 'FReeople',
i'd like to invite y'all over to the FReeoples Bar & Grill

---

			This thread began in the summer of 2001 when a core group of aggrieved refugees set sail from their old home and washed ashore here at Free Republic, the Ellis Island of cyberspace for those who truly cherish the Constitution. But what began as a mere port-of-entry has since evolved, thanks to the hands extended by so many veteran FReepers, into a true FRiendship Society. Yet immigrants everywhere must soon find a niche from which to develop as citizens. And so it seems only natural that we of 'the exodus' should build upon our initial welcome by announcing the grand opening of the: 'FReeoples Bar & Grill' ! We hope it to be an informal kind of place where all those with a dedication to our Nation's founding principles may feel free to pull up a chair, meet their friends, spit on the mat, call the kat a bastard, conspire on new projects, compare notes on goings on, and just generally unwind from their respective days in the trenches. All we ask is that, at least once per quarter, you generously tip our landlord, Mr. Robinson.

Dollar a Day FReepers!

Who wants to sign up? Do you do a monthly? Is it at least $30 a month? Do you mail or CC at least $365 a year  to FreeRepublic?

Let us know (FReepmail me) and we will put you down as a Dollar a Day FReeper!  I know there are lots more of you than appear on this list!
