“It happens to be the best darn place in the world to find out what’s going on.”

No argument there from me, or for your post, Jim. I have never spent a penny directly on FR, and I’ve been on here for a couple of years longer than my official membership date, as a lurker. I hope very strongly that you last long enough for me to start donating, as I have benefited greatly, in a non-monetary way, from the wide range of political and other views and information I’ve seen here.

If I had more than a few minutes a week to spend here at FR, I’d probably have found a few spare dollars, now and again, and someday I will. Soon, I hope. If you ever need someone to testify on your behalf to the truth of your statements, let me know.

Those that donate to FR should have a designation on the screename, such as a different color or a star or something. That is how it is done, for example, on the Bike Forum.

A simple thanks, Jim. I've been a member for seven years now, and it's been a blessing to me in more ways than one.

Your creation is, for thousands upon thousands of members and many thousands more lurkers, a vital source of discussion and information.

God bless you.

Free Republic IS the best breaking news website I have ever come across.

Free Republic IS NOT for the faint of heart.
If you can't take it as well as give it, admit when you're wrong, and be flexible enough to know when you ARE wrong, you may as well not even register,

Free Republic IS the invisible 800 Lb gorilla.

Without free republic I’d lose my mind. It is free therapy for me.

So, Free Republic is not a commercial operation nor is it a charity. What is it then?

It's YOUR labor of love for American ideals!

It is highly entertaining and keeps me off the porn sites. Well worth the monthly contribution.
