I pass it to Boortz, Limbaugh and Hannity, and maybe it's coincidence but every so often something I've shared will almost immediately pop on on one of their programs. At least none of them have told me to stop sending stuff.
The liberals know we are here, and they hate us. To me that shows just how effective we are.
I don't want to be popular, I just want my grandson to live free. He is in the Florida Guard and deserves a much better Commander in Chief.
“People read us. Our thoughts and discussions are often linked, quoted, referenced, mentioned or talked about in the media, blogs or talkshows. People come here for news, information and conservative perspective as posted by liberty-loving individuals like YOU and me.”
So very true. I’ve noticed, and I’m certain others have noticed as well.
Whether assisting in the impeachment of a U.S. president, or preventing the theft of a presidential election, this site has made history.
Not many (if any) web sites can say that.

Limited means these days Jim. But I’ll donate as much and as often as I can. Thanks for FR and for everything you do.
My tagline ( the same one I've had for years ) says why I come here, and the reason why I donate.
No other news forum could ever replace Free Republic!
I donate to FR because I believe in paying my own way. For the most part, I like it here and have for almost 8 years. I don’t care what you do with the money. Unlike the government, you don’t make me give.
It also makes me smile that it gets certain anti-freepers panties in a bunch. They are such children, almost liberal like.
Step up, Freepers! I gave twice this quarter to make up for all the comotion of our current circumstances as conservatives.
Thanks for the service you provide to the conservative movement.
Incredible that I have been a FReeper for 14 years and 18 days. Amazing how fast that went by. Great friends, great adventures.
I’m with you. Let me note that being 100% donation oriented takes the sponsor induced format out of the equation. This is Free Speech 101.
I just made my donation. Thanks for the reminder.
I’ll make more for beautiful ZOT’s or if the kitties can play with a Troll and have a good time for a while.
I'm not voting for the lesser of two evils - that only begets even more evil.
I found the link with the monthly expenses broken down. Was just curious. Thanks!
Dearest Jim,
In addition to everything you wrote, I want to add that life long FRiends are made and treasured here every day.
We laugh together, pray together, fight for likeminded causes so we are happy to support Free Republic: America’s Exclusive Site for God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty Conservatives!
Free Republic is our home on the Internet. I don’t want to sound mushy here, but we’re more like family, than anything else and families all have in-laws, crazy aunts and uncles and spats are more normal than not. We can’t choose our family members, but as a whole, Free Republic attracts the best and smartest of folks, and you have dedicated moderators and yourself to deal with the unruly factions that ultimately must be sent packing.
I treasure the FRiendships I have made and always look forward to making more.
God bless and Keep you all.
I urge everyone to donate, and to donate Monthly, if you possibly can.
Please know that every donation, no matter the amount, is truly and greatly appreciated. Were every regular user, reader and member to donate, our FReepathons would be over in a flash.
Thanks very much everyone!!!
FReep on!!!
Thanks, Jim.
Just added some bucks in addition to my monthly. Thanks for all you and your staff do in herding us critters!
I donated last night ($25.00 from Michigan). I’ve read the thread on alternatives.
There is already a system in place for those that don’t have the funds to give to have someone sponsor them.
How about keeping that same system and implementing it in a pay to post.
If the minimum monthly donation is $3, $3 x 3months is $9 per quarter. I understand, money is tight. People can find $3 a month in pop cans for crying out loud.
There are some that already sponsor people at $10. Have a list of those that need ‘assistance’. They get sponsored for a quarter. Just as people shouldn’t use welfare as a career, not donating shouldn’t be a consistent habit either. There is helping and then there is mooching.
Those willing to sponsor can cycle through the list of those needing assistance. You could set it up as a monthly or quarterly or semi annual or even yearly sponsorship. $20 can sponsor someone for 6 months. $10 for 3 months/quarterly, there are sponsors that already help others that way.
When your sponsorship runs out, you can’t post unless you donate or get sponsored again.
The site needs donations to be able to continue. Its time for some to put their money where their posts are.
People could lurk for free and still be able to read the articles and learn.
Even $20 a year from posters would help immensely. Where else can you get entertainment and learn something for $20 a year? I would think that $20 a year from all posters would go a long way to keeping the lights on and those that wanted to donate more could.
I know some don’t like the idea of paying to post, but I suspect those that whine the loudest aren’t donating.
I would avoid ads, too many block them anyway an the same moochers would use blockers. If you aren’t part of the solution then you are part of the problem. jmo
I lurked here for years..joined up, despite my poor typing skills, to support our troops..
I get my news here..I had FR as my homepage before I signed up.
I read a lot! We , like family, have our disagreements..sometimes fierce disagreements... over how to beat advance the conservative cause...but we all agree that we need to fight for this cause.
As onyx says..we have FRiends we have never met that we love and pray for and with. We support one another in these trying times for our Nation.
I have learned so much from FReepers and appreciate so many of them.
Free Republic has given me more than I could repay with my monthly donations.
Long live Free Republic! Thank you, Jim Robinson.
from Team America...What would you do
If you were asked to give up your dreams for freedom?
What would you do
If asked to make the ultimate sacrifice?
Would you think about all them people
Who gave up everything they had?
Would you think about all them War Vets
And would you start to feel bad?
Freedom isn't free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill
Freedom isn't free
No, there's a hefty in' fee.
And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
Who will?
