In 1776, Thomas Jefferson wrote that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
My friends, what greater Happiness could an American have than to be the proud possessor of member number 1776? It could be your inalienable Right to declare your loyalty to the US of A with every post!
#1776 is at $55 -- do I hear $60? Or better yet, $76?

I think it's classier than a 2-digit number at that price. 2-digit numbers are vulgar.

Speech is free, but it ain't cheap--the Ship needs your greenbacks. Americans, indulge in that most American of pastimes--wrapping yourself in the flag! UnAmericans, score an extra point every time you post on the pond war threads!
