About Free Republic

Who are we? (from the Free Republic web-site)

Free Republic is a loosely organized group of grassroots Americans who support our Constitution and look for honesty, integrity and honor from those in government. Like millions of Americans, we are fed up with our out of control federal government. Therefore, we are working together to roll back decades of liberal/socialist public policy and eliminate the waste, fraud, abuse and corruption pervasive in Washington today.

Free Republic is the group who put on the nationally televised "March for Justice" rally in October 1998 at the Washington Monument in Washington D.C. and the "Judgment Day" rally on the Capitol steps in December. The events were viewed by many in Congress and caused quite a stir in Washington and the press.

We feel that they, along with the dozens of smaller events put on by Free Republic Chapters all around the country, helped change the tide against ex-President Clinton and eventually led to his impeachment. This earned ex-President Clinton the distinction of being the only elected U.S. President to have been impeached.
