1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    Our for fathers brought forth

    A proclamation to the land

    That all man is equal

    In the eyes of god

    Each man that’s is born

    Unto this land

    Shall have all the rights

    As any other man



    Step up to the plate

    Get ready for the race

    We all must find a way

    To find out place in the world



    And these rights

    Are forever more

    And no one shall

    Be bared entry at out door

    Give us your weary

    We shall heal them

    Give us your weak

    And we shall make them strong



    And along these lines

    A nation was born

    Free men living a free life

    With the right to live and love

    Love and lose

    Wander and find

    Find and keep



    Step up to the plate

    Get ready for the race

    We all must find a way

    To find our place in the world



    We the people

    Stand tall today

    We the people

    Have a right to say

    To speak out

    To speak up

    To lend a helping hand

    To our fellow humble man



    Step up to the plate

    Get ready for the race

    We all must find a way

    To find our place in the world
