How we have, and can, change the world (vanity)
Late 2002 | MonroeDNA

Posted on 04/12/2003 7:12:48 AM PDT by MonroeDNA

I am not part of the fundraiser here. Just an ordinary American, who believes in individual Liberty, and Freedom.

I guess I've been around here for about 5 years or so now. Time sure flies!

When Jim Robinson started this site, it was because he was fed up with the liberal media, and how they would not let people worldwide know about the corruption of the Clinton Administration. A few of us, equally concerned, (with great luck) found it fast.

In the early days, FR was a day-to-day operation, always on the brink of bankruptcy. Jim kept on, and we chipped in when it became too much. We knew how important this site was, and is. Sometimes, it came down to the wire, and we wrote checks, and sent them in, as best we could.

Look at it now. We all get our best information from this site. It is huge, with thousands of posters, and millions of readers. Yet Jim still keeps it alive because of his conviction, and he is absolutely NOT making a profit on it. He just believes. As do we.

BTW, did you know that the founder of this site is in a wheelchair (sorry Jim; I know you think it doesn't make a r*ts a$$ difference. Hey, some folks out there need to come down a peg, like I have.).

Think of it! In the darkest days of the Clinton Administration, there was a lone internet site where people with integrity, brains, and sheer gumption could discuss the dangers faced by the US. Not on CNN, for sure.

Earthmovers like Drudge, Ann Coulter, Rush, WFBuckley, his brother, Savage, Buchanan, both houses of Congress (many) check in to see what we think.

The opposition checks it out, too. Like the NY times staff, CNN, etc. Trust me, they all come here to read. Even YOUR post. You know by now how they are whining about Rush? We're next, as soon as they figure out how they can trash this site without it getting a million hits.

I've been broke; I've been not broke. I've slept in my car. I know how it feels to be squeezed tight with bills. Folks with giant bills: You're not alone, and you have friends here. :)

If you love this site as much as I do, please, please sign up for automatic payment of just $3 per month. Don't be embarrassed if you think this is too little. It absolutely is not. You $3 a month folks are our grassroots movement heroes. Be proud. Become one of the thousand points of light here, and you will so feel proud every month. We'll thank you for it, and are so glad to have you on board.

I know things are rough out there. But you are tough, and a member of the greatest grassroots freedom movement in 100 years. Together we are making history, and will change the world, as we already have. The best is yet to come.

Many countries out there would consider this website illegal. They hate us, for our freedom. Their systems cannot stand, in the face of Freedom. The people there read us when they can, when they are “allowed” to, and are not being tortured. They flock to us, America, because they want to be free. Help us help them.

Would you please, please consider signing up for just $3 a month? Please? That’s all it takes, really, believe it or not. You will make a world of difference, to, well, the world. Be proud, Americans, and please help out!

Thank you for the post and the ping!

Stayed up late watching the Rally for the Troops in DC, wondering at the choice of televising this awesome rally late night on the eve. of Palm Sunday when most families would be sleeping...and realized it didn't matter to the tens of thousands of Americans in attendance - or the millions around the world who cheered for the freed Iraqi people this week.

Americans ignored the naysayers and spin artists - those Big Time pundits - and turned to those who loved this country.

Thank you to the small, faithful groups of Freepers across this country who stood in the town square and waved the flag for our troops - for the rest of us. Thank you to the Freepers who keep this awesome website alive and the homefires burning for Uncle Sam.

Thank you, Monroe, for your selfless 'vanity'.

Thanks, and nice name here, too!

Thank you - I think so too!

"Constitution Day" (Sept. 17th) is one of those dates that seems to be forgotten.
I would submit that it is equally important as Independence Day.

BTW - I chose it when I got registered for FR because it also happens to be my birthday. :)

Oh man, I just realized that I mentioned Ann Coulter, and broke the rule.
