<p>The first week of our second quarter 2012 Freepathon is complete and we've raised the first TWELVE percent of our goal. One percent per day keeps the 404 away, but we need your help to get her up to full battle speed.</p>

Howdy everyone!! The first week of our second quarter 2012 Freepathon is complete and we've raised the first TWELVE percent of our goal. One percent per day keeps the 404 away, but we need your help to get her up to full battle speed. No matter who wins the nomination or the election, we're going to need FR more than ever to hold their feet to the fire. We're hoping for the tea party rebellion of 2010 to continue in November 2012. It's unlikely that we're going to have a conservative in the Presidency, but if we can continue taking...

Howdy everyone!! The first week of our second quarter 2012 Freepathon is complete and we've raised the first EIGHT percent of our goal. One percent per day keeps the 404 away, but we need your help to keep her going and raise the steam if we can. No matter who wins the nomination or the election, we're going to need FR more than ever to hold their feet to the fire. We're hoping for the tea party rebellion of 2010 to continue in November 2012. It's unlikely that we're going to have a conservative in the Presidency, but if we...

Howdy everyone!! The first week of our second quarter 2012 Freepathon is nearly complete and we've raised approximately the first eight percent. This is Easter weekend so I'm sure it will be slow, but our Freepathon thread will remain open for business 24/7. One percent per day keeps the 404 away. Happy Easter everyone!! No matter who wins the nomination or the election, we're going to need FR more than ever to hold their feet to the fire. We're hoping for the tea party rebellion of 2010 to continue in November. It's unlikely that we're going to have a conservative...

Howdy everyone!! It's time for our 2nd quarter FReepathon!! As you all know, we're planning on beefing up our system before the elections and we're anticipating it will cost approximately $12,000 to purchase the new equipment, memory and disk that John's recommending. We raised half of that amount in addition to our operating expenses last quarter and are hoping to raise the other half this quarter. Hope to have it all installed and working before the election cycle heats up. No matter who wins the nomination or the election, we're going to need FR more than ever to hold their...

We're just a few days away from the 2nd Quarter 2012 FReepathon! I may be a bit different because I don't hate 'em. Although it's disheartening that not everyone contributes in a timely, generous manner to keep the 404 away from America's exclusive website for Conservative Activism, FReepathons are a time for FRiends from all over the world to unite in a common cause for good. There's a lot of camaraderie, good clean humor and some fun graphics in the FReepathon threads. It's a chance for many of us to get to know our fellow FReepers better. Plus, it's always...

<p>Woo hoo!! This could be the last thread of our first quarter FReepathon!!</p> <p>We're now working on the new equipment fund. We're planning on replacing some of our aging and unreliable equipment and beefing up our system before the general elections. Hope to pay for half of it this quarter and the rest next quarter.</p>

We've already raised enough to cover our operating costs for the current quarter and are now working on the new equipment fund!! Less than $6k to go!! We're planning on replacing some of our aging and unreliable equipment and beefing up our system before the general elections. Hope to pay for half of it this quarter and the rest next quarter. Woo hoo!! Let's get 'er done!! No matter who gets the nomination or eventually wins the election, we're going to need FR more than ever to hold their feet to the fire!! We need FR and FR needs you!!...

Thread XXXV? Woo hoo!! We're getting close but need to put this FReepathon to bed before we run out of Roman Numerals. I'll have to do the research but I think there's some kind of trick when you hit 39 or 40. We don't sell products or services on FR. We don't sell advertising. We don't charge membership dues.

Three West Virginia coal plants just announced they will close this year. Metro News reported: Ohio based FirstEnergy Corporation announces it will close three coal fired power plants in West Virginia by this fall. The closings come directly from the impact of new federal EPA regulations. The plants to close are Albright Power Station, Willow Island Power Station, and the Rivesville Power Station. The company says 105 employees will be directly impacted. The three plants produce 660 megawatts and about 3-percent of FirstEnergy’s total generation. In recent years, the plants served as “peaking facilities” and generated power during times of...

As many of you know, and as many of you don't know, this Freepathon is to raise money for the current quarter, not one down the road. We need to get this one over with and now. November brings the most important election in our lifetime. FR must be up and running and healthy if we are going to make a difference. If you have donated in the past, please donate again. If you give something every quarter, try to give something every month. If you are a monthly donor, give dollar-a-day a shot, if you can. John needs some...

No matter who wins the nomination or who wins the coming election, we're going to need FR more than ever to hold their feet to the fire!! The more power the liberals and GOP establishment concentrate for themselves in the central government, the dimmer the chances for freedom surviving in America. Romney proves through is love for RomneyCare exactly who and what he is. Reagan warned us that the socialists would try to impose socialism on us through socialized healthcare, well here it is. Romney says that he wants all 50 states to impose their own similar top down government...

Dear FRiends, If this race boils down to Romney vs Obama, we are in deep, deep trouble. Obama is a committed Marxist. Romney's record is that of a Kennedy leftist. Romney has never lifted a finger for any of our conservative causes. He has in fact betrayed us on Judeo-Christian values, taxes, fees, abortion, gay marriage, gays in the military, guns, socialist healthcare, mandates, judges, global warming hoax, bailouts, lies. There is very little difference between Romney and Obama's accomplishments in government. Romney (like the GOP-e) despised Reagan, despises conservatism, loathes the tea party. Romney has no core values or...

Free Republic is one of the few remaining conservative sites still defiantly standing for God, Country, Family, Life & Liberty with the tea party, and with Newt, resisting the headlong slide into socialist tyranny. RomneyCare = ObamaCare = CommieCare = taxpayer funded abortion = death panels = socialism = tyranny. Romney still brags about RomneyCare TODAY!! Would like all 50 states to implement similar socialist plans. These are the indisputable facts and that's really all you need to know about Mitt Romney. UPDATE: Mitt Romney has now bought off Florida Attorney General PAM BONDI, and her mission as Romney's new...

One by one, the so-called conservative news channels, talkers, pundits, authors, news sites, blogs, etc, are falling in line with the GOP establishment elite, stabbing conservatism and our leading tea party conservative candidates in the back. Drudge, Beck, Coulter, Faux News, Rove, Hume, Abrams, Tyrell, NRO, PAM BONDI, etc, are all now deeply in the tank for the northeastern limousine liberal, Mitt Romney!! Meanwhile, even losers Dole and McCain are jumping on the bandwagon, proclaiming that RINO Romney is "the most electable". Have to presume that they considered themselves to be the most electable too. Never forget: "Electable" gave us...

Sarah Palin was my first choice for president, but the left, the GOP establishment and many right here on FR wouldn’t have it. They trashed her and her family relentlessly with some of the unholiest filth and disgusting lies imaginable. Even so, I did little about it. I felt it was best to let the debate run its course on FR and that the best hard nosed conservative would rise to the top. Well, they drove her completely out and she didn’t run. Didn’t want to subject her family to such horrific pain and suffering. And who can blame her?...

Congratulations, Newt!! The Gingrich Revolution begins here and begins now!! Thank you very much, South Carolina!! Thank you very much, Rick Perry!! Thank you very much, Todd & Sarah!! And now it's on to Florida!! Free Republic is all in for Newt and the rebellion is on!! I'm understanding from his debates and his website that Newt wants to totally dismantle the Marxist/socialist welfare state, fire the czars, repeal ObamaCare, repeal Dodd-Frank, repeal Sarbanes Oxley, privatize social security and medicare, return all federal socialist welfare programs to the states and the people to be controlled locally or shuttered, audit and...

Free Republic is now in full open rebellion against the elite GOP establishment and we're going to need your support now more than ever!! Free Republic is and will remain a pro-life, pro-family, limited government, strong defense grassroots conservative site. As such, we cannot and will not support an abortionist/statist RINO for president. RomneyCare = ObamaCare = government tyranny. Taxpayer funded abortion is as evil as evil can get. Romney has stated that abortion should be safe and legal in America and that Roe vs Wade is settled law and should be defended and sustained as such. He's also on...

<p>Is RomneyCare a small government conservative solution like Romney claims?</p> <p>So he is without a doubt a social liberal and a national security liberal.</p> <p>He also supported TARP, bailouts, stimulus, the GM takeover and, obviously, RomneyCare and mandates against individuals.</p>

May the best pro-life, pro-family, limited government, big defense patriot get the nomination. Let's make it a stark choice between moral small government conservatism, free-markets, freedom and national security vs godless liberalism, progressivism, socialism, abortionism, homosexualism, isolationism, etc. Each of our remaining God, family, country, life and liberty patriotic conservatives is vastly superior to Marxist Obama or to the unreliable, lying, flip-flopping, abortionist/statist Mitt Romney or the nutcase blame America first surrender monkey Ron Paul. Why should we try to drive ANY of the pro-life, small government, big defense conservatives out of the race? Why not drive the progressives and...

Well done, Rick Santorum!! A great come from behind surge and photo finish!! Had it in the bag until the last minute recount of one precinct (and surprise, surprise) just enough Romney votes were found to knock you out of first place by a whopping 8 votes. But a great victory for the base nonetheless!! And it looks like there may be a few fewer faces in the race for New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida. Can't see Huntsman or Bachmann hanging around much longer, and Perry may also bail. Ron Paul has had his best shot. His spam monkeys...

Happy New Year, everyone!! Woo hoo!! And we have some pretty big challenges facing us this year. We've got to remove Obama and all traces of his czars and his Marxist government, secure our nation and secure our borders!! And we've got to rein in the FED and the activist judiciary, eliminate the EPA, and end the ridiculous wars on coal, oil, gas and energy! Cut the regulations, cut the government, cut the spending, cut the taxes, get our economy going again, and set our people free and to prosper and produce!! And we must win the godless liberal progressive...
