Are you ready for some FReeping?

Howdy everyone,

The Free Republic Fourth Quarter FReepathon is underway!!

Time to raise the funds necessary to keep Free Republic on the air for the next several months. We've had lots of excitement and heated discussion on these boards in the last months and weeks with the California Recall and special elections. Looks like Grayout Davis is going down for the count and his big tax, big spending partner is gonna be tossed out of the ring with him! This is a very strong message being sent by the voters to the big government politicians in California and nationwide: Enough is enough!

The Davis/Bustamante tag team has busted California and California is busting them! Thank you fellow California FReepers for gathering signatures, protesting, rallying and campaigning all up and down the state to help make this happen! One week from now and we usher in a new governor!!

But this was just the warm up fight. The bell sounds the main event immediately following: George W. Bush vs some yet to be named corrupt liberal Democrat for President of the United States!! Go Dubya!! Go FReepers!!

And, of course, FReepers will be campaigning all across the fruited plains and from sea to shining sea for their favorite conservatives for Congress and Senate and local and state offices. This is our opportunity to sweep out the remnants of the corrupt Clinton era Democrat officeholders and to begin replacing the liberal activist judiciary with judges that will abide by the Constitution rather than making law from the bench! Imagine that! Go Conservatives!!

Stay tuned to Free Republic! You will not want to miss any of the action this quarter or next year!!

And I'm sure you've all read that Free Republic has been slandered by the City of Fresno Human Relations Commission as being a "hate group" holding "hate rallies" and "hate picnics." Well, we are not going to allow this false and libelous accusation stand unanswered! We've filed the required paperwork notifying the City of Fresno that they are about to be sued. They have 90 days to respond or offer to resolve this issue through settlement. If not, then we file suit. We don't expect any major legal expenses for the case this quarter, but there may be some. Consequently, I'm increasing our target this quarter so that hopefully we will have some funds available to cover any expenses related to this effort as they are incurred. We have a favorable financial arrangement with our attorney, but there may be some expenses that have to be covered this quarter.

Thank you all for your continued support and may we all enjoy much success in the coming months!

God bless you all!

Regards,

Jim Robinson

And I sincerely doubt God hates me.

Sorry for coming to this thread so late, but I've had other obligations. One side of me cannot believe the hatred behind the e-mail, but the other side knows that filth like that does exist. Whenever someone does something good, the evil one and his minions try to trash it and bring it down.

God has blessed you with the wonderful insight to create a place for conservative people to gather and it is a beautiful creation. I believe He weeps, as do I, that someone would be so hateful towards someone who is only trying to create something that is good.

Please keep up the good work and keep fighting the good fight. You have the backing of thousands for every one naysayer.

May God continue to bless you and your family.

We the bulk of Free Republic don't need any explination of what goes on behind the green door. This orginization and website it the best thing that has come along in the past 10 years.

It has brought thousands of people together that would not have known one another or had the means to meet. As long as this group is together great thing will happen and they have, and do day after day. We elected a president, I don't care what anyone says we had a lot to do with it and we will continue..

Anyone that dislikes what this place stands for doesn't have to join and can leave if they are members, and in most instances they do, sometimes with a little prodding. If they were grown up enough thye would swallow their pride and admit that they could be wrong and continue to discuss what goes on in the country of ours.

JIM keep up the great work, you have a 100,000 or more people behind you all the way..

If there is anyone here who doesn't understand that the bulk of the "Administrative" line item on our budget report (see our secure server donation page) goes to me, well I guess I didn't make it clear enough. So, "I'm coming clean" (as this AFer/LPer calls it). Free Republic consumes all of my time for approximately 12 to 16 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year. Even take a laptop when I travel so I can log in on the road. I do not take a salary as I am not an emloyee of the company (there are no employees of Free Republic, LLC), but I am the majority owner and I do take a draw from time to time when I need it and if there are funds available. It is budgeted in with all the rests of the costs necessary to keep FR on the air. Thank you all very much!! Jim

Hey Jim, if anyone didn't know that, they are an ignorant fool - I can't speak for others, but I assumed that part of the cost of keeping FR running also goes to keep you running, so to speak. Again, I can't speak for others, but if you are able to make a living off of FR, then great! That's what America is about - you provide a service/product, and people choose to buy it or not. No one holds a gun to anyone's head and makes them donate to keep FR going.

That being said, based on ComCleanJim's sick need to belittle you because of your infirmaries, I'd have to say that this site is better off without them.
