It is water for those who do not wake up.
A Republican entrepreneur launched Freedom2o, bottled water aimed at thirsty Republican voters and promising a taste of liberal tears.
The six pack retails for $11.00 and hit the Internet on October 27 — timed for the anniversary of one of Ronald Reagan’s most important speeches — and also debuted on a Times Square billboard.
For liberals: let them drink Perrier is White’s view.
White, 36, who has worked successfully in auto racing, video games and technology, came up with the idea for Freedom2o while on the couch of his home in South Florida.
“I was watching the Republican debate and a light went on in my head,” White told The Post.

“They cut the ads and I saw so many people drinking water. But the water that is drunk has nothing to do with the person who drinks it.
“Kevin McCarthy is drinking Dasani — that is left, right and centre. If he drinks Freedom, I think he will still be Speaker of the House.”
White says that the lack of mainstream products aimed at conservative consumers is no coincidence.

“Companies today are afraid to stand up for what they believe in,” he said. “They are afraid to say they are conservative. They fear a backlash from vocal opposition. Corporate executives feel pressure from outside and think they have to compromise. We do not compromise.”
As for the water itself, it comes from Freedom’s bottling partners in Texas, Florida, Oklahoma and California. White describes it as “purified bottled water, with ionization and reverse osmosis.”
Told that it came from all but one red state, he asserted, “Some parts of California are red.”
Freedom2o water debut on October 27 is by design. The date marks the 59th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s national career launch address in which he warned Americans that it was “time to choose” between “maximum individual freedom” and “an anthill of totalitarianism.”
Clearly a fan of the movie star turned president, and sharing his sentiments, White recalled, “He said in that speech that the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant but that they know so many things that aren’t so. That speech is in line with our current situation.”
White believes Kevin McCarthy would still be speaker of the house if he had shown his true political colors by drinking Freedom during the Republican debate. Stephen Yang
Botol explains where White stands. “Our labels speak for themselves,” he says. “’This water is not awake,’ ‘Water for sad people’ and ‘Drink this water or move to Canada.’”
However, not all of his messaging was approved for his Times Square ad campaign, with ads that read “Sip for Dick” with a picture of President Nixon and “This water is not sleepy” with a picture of President Biden both rejected.
White looked to get legal help to resolve any possible obstacles in terms of his slogan, but, as he discovered, when you’re selling a Republican message, lawyers don’t always want to take your money.
“I pitched some of our slogans and slogans to a fairly well-known first amendment lawyer in New York; we may want to put him as a retainer,” he said.
White hopes Freedom water will stimulate political debate or can be used to “spray wake.” Stephen Yang
“He heard those words and snapped, ‘I don’t want to help you keep MAGA s**t.’ And we’re not even MAGA!”
Was he put off by that answer? “Actually,” she says, “I love it. It talks about how triggering it is when you say what’s on your mind or even if you just want to start a conversation.”
And White pushed all to trigger. “We sell trigger sprayers,” he said. “You can drink the water or use it to spray the water awake.”
One group that made Freedom2o a thirst quencher of choice was the Log Cabin Republicans, the party’s LGBT wing.
it will be presented at the organization’s upcoming gala, to be held at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, Cali. “Elizabeth made a special water run for us,” Charles Moran, the organization’s president, told The Post. “The bottles will say ‘You don’t have to be straight to shoot straight.’ It is an agreement for LGBT people to be able to serve openly in the military.”
Next, he focused on Republican strongholds rather than Mar-a-Lago. “Maybe we’ll send the case over,” White said. “I can see members drinking Freedom from champagne flutes.”
