Unfortunately, Free Republic can't run on handsome Jim's good looks alone!
Ideally, every regular user and member would donate, but sadly, that's not the case.
It's also unfortunate that many newer members aren't aware that Free Republic is solely dependent upon donations from you, our fabulous membership to stay alive! --- that we do not accept advertising or corporate sponsors! No string pullers or sugar daddies to throw their influence around.
I know it took me a while to catch on, maybe a year or a little longer, but after I mailed in my
first donation, ($45 - I was trying to donate $15 a month), I immediately started Donating Monthly during the next FReepathon. I also thought FReepathons were scary...lol. I was a little slow to understand that Jim's FReepathon Team wanted us members to come to the threads to make known our donations so we donors could be thanked in that beautiful colored font! Please keep this in mind, because that still holds true today!
Donating Monthly is an ideal way to Reliably Support Free Republic, and with a sufficient number of Reliable Monthly Donors, FReepathons would be either a thing of the past or completed within a couple of weeks. We already have 25 New Monthly Donors so far this FReepathon including 5 New Dollar-A-Day Donors!! As an incentive to Donate Monthly, very generous FReeper sponsors are kicking in an extra $10.00 for every New Monthly Donor.
Please ask yourselves how much Free Republic is worth to you, in entertainment value alone? $2.50 a week is $20 a Month.
We all realize times are very tough in the Marxist's unconscionable economy, particularly for those of us on fixed incomes, but please try to give whatever amount you can reasonably spare, because every Monthly Donation counts, and every Donation is truly and greatly appreciated.
Also, Very generous FReeper I_be_tc donates $100 each quarter and challenges 300 others to do the same. If we can get 300 FReepers to send in a $100 or more each, it will help bring this FReepathon to a successful conclusion!! We've received 112 donations of $100 or more so far this quarter!! If you send in or contribute $100 or more, please FR mail Jim a note and he'll add your screen name to the 300 Club roster!!
We're all in this together. Free Republic is our forum - our home on the Internet. We've all made solid FRiendships here, not make believe.
It's our responsibility to Keep FR Alive.
I know our FReepathons are taking way too long to complete, but again, I think that's largely due to the Marxist's economy and the regrettable assumption of too many here who think that the same loyal, faithful others will continue to carry the load.
Let's change that this time. If you have never Contributed, please do so! Once you Donate, you'll actually feel like a true, participating member.
I know I felt a whole lot better about being here.
Thanks very much, dearest FRiends, and may God always bless and keep you all and everyone you love.

P.S.
Please know that we all understand that some of our members want to Donate, but can't, due to illness or dire straits.
We keep them in our prayers and ask y'all to do the same.

Well, for one thing, I don’t want to be sued into oblivion by copyright holders. We’d have to gut FR before going commercial. There wouldn’t be much left in our archives. Thanks
Onyx is so cute, but she sometimes gets carried away a bit. Luv her to death. LOL
Got it :)
Thank you very much, my dears. Better to see you with.
Thank you very much, CatherineofAragon!!
LOL. Oh yeah, you sure did!!!
Well, you see, we never know when a very generous member from a competing state finds himself or herself in the chips and decides to donate a huge amount like a $1K to knock FL out of Third Place. I recall that a member from VA did that a year or so ago, but the amount was mailed-in and didn't get counted on the scoreboard. I don't think that oversight would happen again.
Thank you very much, LibLieSlayer!! Greatly appreciated!!
Replied.
Hold on.
I’ll make it easy-peasy for you.
Welcome to the FR 300 club. Encourage your fellow FReepers to duplicate your noble effort.
Woo hoo!! Thank you very much, left that other site!!
Monthly Donor Bump! Kicking in an extra $20. Credit Alabama.
"What would you do Without FR?????
Suppose one day you tried to log on and Free Republic wasnt there? Where would you get your up to the minute news? How about the live threads as things are happening?
How would you know about the latest Demorat scams, anti-second amendment schemes and all the other liberal, anti-American ploys that are tried every single day?
Insight into world affairs, brilliant wit, sharp retorts, instant information gratification are a few of the things that make FR so vital.
How would you keep on top of things without FR?
How would you know who to contact to complain about the lying politicians, Media Bias, Hollyweirds latest mouth off, sponsors of these idiots, company policies that are unfair and all the other things we need to know to counteract the liberal mindset and the evil plans of liberals?
How would you be part of a Freep?
What would you do without FR????
Freedom isnt free.
If you enjoy the site and find it a place of like minded Americans to sound off, to get together, to fight back, to have your voice heard and make a difference, PLEASE CONTRIBUTE NOW! Jim cant do this alone.
The liberals are sure we wont be able to keep FR up & running. Prove them wrong. Show them we are indeed united Freepers. Whether it is $5.00, $50.00 or more, it all adds up. Please send a donation now to Free Republic."
Woke up early, but was sleeping so great decided to get a few more minutes in. Didn’t wake up again till after 10:30. It was great finally getting some decent sleep. But was I ever surprised to get to my computer and see this thread and the outpouring of support!! Woo hoo!! FReepers are absolutely the greatest!! Thank you all very much!!
Prayers up!
Replied Easy-peasy now.
:)
Thank you very much, M Kehoe!! Go, Florida!
Replied. LOL!
