I love the caught on camera specials. I was interviewed last year, that was so great. Thanks to everyone at ireport and CNN. You're all the best. happy holidays and happy new year
Hey this has been one fun year for me... I really enjoy the challenges given by CNN and I especially enjoyed the political debates we had on iReport. What's up for 2009?
Oh and I forgot, thanks to iReport I was able to do a Salute the Troops segment on Robin's show for my two sons who are both serving in the Armed Forces. Thanks CNN for that, it was very special for me and for my family. Peace.
iReport is a great thing Rachel, with a special thankyou to Lila King and David Williams.
It is my pleasure to be an iReporter. It is the second best thing I love to do besides making pizza. I am happy and proud that CNN has aired some of my pictures and videos on CNN. It is nice to see what other iReporters have to report from all over the world. I plan on being a dedicated iReporter and report what I feel is important and interesting from the state of Vermont. I wish all my fellow iReporters all the best and Happy Holidays.
Peace
Paul

Hopelessly addicted!
First website I have ever participated on.
I appreciate all of you so much.
I love the assignments, keep them coming!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and looking forward to the New Year on ireport.
You folks are miracles. These days, I suppose, there no longer are 15 minutes of fame. You simply have to know 15 people. And submit "iReports" to a Website that panders to maintain viewership. Are you folks, seriously, genuinely as smitten with this site, and being an iReporter, as you sound? Once upon a time, before folks were armed with mobile phones, you were known as: witnesses.
To be sure, I'm certain some of you have something intelligent, and even profound, to contribute
and certainly more intelligent than most news readersbut as I listened to one iReporter tonight so astutely observe that Mumbai is "evidence that terrorism is growing problem," it is clear that the vast majority of mobile phone owners are just that...witnesses with phones, who don't have much for critical minds.Read a good newspaper.
Loved the iReport special! Very cool - they aired both an interview with me, and my interview with Coops!
Why hasn't the fact George W. Bush recieved a pardon in fall of 2006 mad4e public more ?
Why hasn't the deatails of why Cheney's visitation log been discused more ?
Why don't the facts of HILLAY's yes votes on letting loan and credit companies get away with larceny in NEWS TO ME MORE !
Why hasn't there been more articles on Bush an Dicks 27 violations of US Constitution ?
Why aren't those 27 facts made more public ?
Maybe one mewspapers who's sales are in toilet should research the fact they are owned by political biased wing nut ?
You moronic news paper owners ever hear the phrase if you are true PATRIOT, you might need to challenge your government representation ?
Where's the apology to those that called for IMPEACHMENT
of Bush and Cheney as it's so evident one was needed !
As you so called journalists allowed Dan Rather and Phil Donahue to be censored as BUSH AND HIS WHOLE POLITICAL TEAM are a bunch of lieing pencil whipping SOB's..
You bribe takeing whores who sold out the truth of America.. you think we the people give a dam as we don't buy your YELLOW JOURNALISUM !!!

I'll post my response to my own questions before lieing sob wing nut does, why wasn't fact of Bushs pardon made more publicm cause his lieing associates knew he was guilty as hell, would have been so many found guilty in there conspiracy to cover up great fornifactcation of Bushs enept legacy, been no one to continue his BS,,, they'd all been in jail.... DUH ! Trying to save what they think is Neo Conservative republican party thats full of racist ignorant bigotted bastards, who only can stay in office by denying supeona's and pencil whippimg up more lies...
\ the reason Cheney's visitation log was denied was because it tied the fact of Libby cutting a deal or the fact he BRIBED BUSH saying you give me clemency , and I wqon't rat out you and Cheney's and Gonzales lieing pencil whipping weighs agaisnt the TRUTH tio the PEOPLE... DUH !
Why hasnh't the facts of Bushs 27 vilations been made public, cause a majority of meada is owned by, COWARDS TO THE TRUTH !
Where's the apology to those that called for impeachment of Bush, who gives a dam, wouldn't be worth nothing from the cowards who shoulda gave it long ago..
creditable news papers being outsold buy supermarket tabloids, imagine that in America today....
NANNER NANNER NANNER.........
all you morons as the shoes where thrown at Bush, you missed the fact, Bush signed a pact keeping us in Iraq untill 2011...
Obama I suggest you correct that error of Bush, with a signing statement...
...who should be last man to die for Bush's deciet an lies. There's a legacy...
