My introduction to FR was in 2000 during the protests in front of the Broward County courthouse where the illegal recount was going on. The cops had created a DMZ between the Bush and Gore supporters. The Gorebots were getting most of the tv coverage, so there was a freeper photobombing them from behind the crowd with a big homemade FREE REPUBLIC sign. As soon as I got home I got in the computer and learned about FR. I never did find out who the freeper was....
That is exactly how I found FR. I saw a sign with Free Republic during the hanging chad protests.
And the rest is history. I could not get enough of FR, but only lurked for about a year. Then after 9-11 I got to meet the Fresno FR group.
Jim Robinson is my hero. He is a man of honor and integrity. It is an honor to meet and to know him, his family, and numerous long time FRiends.

Same here.
Hi. I hope you are doing well.
Maybe it was My Favorite Headache or Gonzo? Maybe Gene, Seekthetruth?
The First lady and me were there briefly, and then went to PBC where that witch tried to start a third recount. We helped prevent it under the Sunshine laws. Other FReepers in Dade did the same.
I forget the goron’s name, but she was relieved of her position by governor Desantis.
