Donations needed to keep FR alive!!

Free Republic is currently delivering over 1.2 million pageviews to over 230,000 visitors per day. That's 40 million pageviews to 7 million visitors per month or 120 million pageviews per quarter, 480 million pageviews per year. We currently have over 350,000 registered screen names on FR. Out of these millions of visits, hundreds of millions of pageviews, hundreds of thousands of registered FReepers and hundreds of thousands of regular lurkers only a relatively FEW actually donate the funds to keep FR alive.

Now, I'm not complaining, because we've always managed to meet our fundraising goals in the past, but it is taking longer and longer to accomplish the task. And part of that may be because it's mostly the same few dedicated FReepers providing the funds, and, along with the rest of us, I'm sure they're stretched to the limit. Sure would be nice if a few more FReepers and lurkers would lend a hand and send in a few bucks. Doesn't take much. I think our average donation is around $20, but you can send in $5, $10, $20, $30 or more, and make it a monthly contribution if you can.

A relatively few good FReepers is all it takes to keep FR on the air so that hundreds of thousands of us can join together in kicking liberal butt and continue the fight for our freedom!!

For example, 1,500 dedicated FReepers and lurkers donating an average of $20 each per month is all it takes to continue delivering these hundreds of millions of propaganda-fighting, pro-liberty pages to tens of millions of readers every year. How many concerned citizens and potential voters can we reach for a tiny fraction of a cent per page? FR delivers a BIG bang for the buck!!

Thank you for providing the bang AND the buck!!

I love the sweet yellow pig.

Just yesterday I advised another person to visit Free Republic for news and current events. I hope everyone will consider becoming a monthly donor, it’s time to turn up the heat. In Florida’s 19th congressional district special election on Tuesday turnout was less than 20%.

[Fiddlstix]

It is cute.
You found a good one.

[lulu16]

Sorry to have taken your wonderful site for granted and not contributing. I'll rustle up some more later.

[umgud]

If you decide to become a monthly, you set the amount. It won’t go up like your cable bill or your taxes (unless you want it to). That is a real bargain.
