First of all, I'd like to thank all of you for making Free Republic the number one conservative site on the Internet!!
There is no doubt that FReepers have made a difference in American politics. As an example, we FReepers worked closely with Bob Barr and helped him impeach President Clinton. That one's in the history books. The Clintons and the Democrats will never live it down. It might even have been a factor in thwarting Hillary's run for the presidency, though we're now stuck with someone just as bad. And that's only because we couldn't get a conservative on the top of the ticket. Just goes to show how far gone our political world has tumbled and why FR is needed now more than ever! No more RINOS!!
Another example is FReeper chapters turning out in Florida and DC and all around the country protesting and successfully blocking Al Gore's attempted coup d'etat in 2000. And again when FReepers exposed Dan Rather's fraudulent reporting and then pitched in to help swiftboat John Kerry. These are also in the history books.
But we live in a target rich environment. Through outright fraud and deception the corrupt Democrats have taken over the White House and both houses of Congress. Our Marxist-in-chief and his socialist enablers are now working double time to destroy what's left of our free economy and capitalist society. They will stop at nothing short of the total collapse of America if they are not stopped. Anyone who doesn't believe that is simply not paying attention. They have their sights set on the total downfall of America and world socialist domination and they've never been closer than they are today.
Should Obama's plans for taking over the health care industry, "revolutionizing" the energy sector, ie, bankrupting the oil, gas and coal industries, taking complete control over the financial and banking industries, expanding federal control over the entire corporate sector, bankrupting all heavy industry, mining, timber, agriculture, etc, etc, it'll be Katy bar the door. Our economy will collapse and down the drain goes our beloved US of A.
And not to mention his failures in foreign policy and national security/national defense. Obama is without a doubt one of the worst presidents we've ever had if not the very worst. Don't know which will kill us first, his overreaching Marxist economic policies or his bungling/inept foreign policy and piss poor execution of his duties as Commander-in-chief. Obama can't figure out whether he should attack or surrender as our enemy gets stronger and bolder. And if he allows Iran to get nukes, then it's just a matter of time. The entire Middle East is closer than ever to going up in a mushroom cloud and Obama doesn't have a clue. Borrowing from General Schwarzkopf, "he's neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational art, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that he is a great military man."
And who's going to stop him? We are. Not saying FR will do it alone, but we are one of hundreds if not thousands of similar grassroots organizations that are banding together to block this yahoo. We just happen to be one of the larger and older organizations and one with a history of accomplishments. And together we've protested at thousands of grassroots Tea Parties in every city of the land and we just turned out two million patriots to protest Obama in DC. This was probably one of the largest protests ever in our nation's capital. And we're just getting warmed up. The biggest protests are yet to come and then we turnout in historic numbers in 2010 and 2012 to dump the evil Marxist bastards!!
But just like the rest of the country we are currently struggling financially. We don't sell products or services. We don't sell advertising or memberships. There are no fees or dues to pay to use our services or to join our organization. We rely solely on voluntary donations from our readers and participants to support our organization and events and it has always worked very well in the past. I pray it continues.
We appreciate very much your continuing support and dedication to the cause. There is much work yet to be done. If not us, who? If not now, when?
Thank you all very much.
God bless.

Let me state for the record and give fair warning to a lot of folks who see no need to contribute.
Trust me, your shrink costs, should FR ever go away, will far outstrip any savings from donations you didn’t make.
FR DT’s will be common.
Maybe .barack will borrow us their donor list. ;-]
Thank you very much, NormsRevenge!!
Thank you very much, umgud!!
Yur welkum, Jim.
I’d send some more money but my stimulating bail-out check ain’t come yet. 8-}
Freepers,
I discovered FreeRepublic through Ann Coulter just last year. (Sorry, I got here as soon as I could.) Although I am a relative newbie at FR, I became a monthly donor after just one month of membership. If you are not a monthly donor, I encourage you to become one. Political talking heads regularly review conservative web sites, such as FR, to gauge the conservative grassroots consensus on the web. Through FR, we have a very powerful collective voice and the opportunity to influence the political conversation on a national level. So it’s important to financially support FR. You can do so for as little as $10 month. That’s about the cost of one lunch. Imagine: No Freep-a-thons!
I issue this challenge to you. If five monthly donors will sign up during this freep-a-thon, I’ll increase my monthly donation by five dollars. Come on, do it for Jim, who does SO MUCH for you!
Tex
.
"What would you do Without FR?????
How would You Feel without FR??? Suppose one day you tried to log on and Free Republic wasn’t 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 isn’t 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 can’t do this alone.
The liberals are sure we won’t 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."
I understand what you’re saying, BT, and it’s commendable to encourage everyone to donate to “help keep the lights on”, as Jim Rob says. Monthly donations are important in that respect, of course.
I just don’t know that eliminating FReepathons is a good idea.
I haven’t become a monthly donor because I prefer to send my contributions during the FReepathons.
FReepathons remind everyone that this wonderful site needs the monetary support of FReepers to help keep it running.
FReepathons also should be a reminder that it’s hypocritical to come on this site and be a FReeloader while complaining about such things as those freeloaders who ride in the gov’t wagon at the expense of a few taxpayers. To everyone who does not donate to support Free Republic: Think about that.
Some can’t afford to send a lot in these hard times; but, small donations combine to make a large difference when everyone contributes.
BUMP for BUCKS!™
A dollar-a-day keeps the DUH-bama-trons away!
The FReepathons aren't really that painful for the regulars around here and they capture (I would think) a lot of lurker bucks.
Keep 'em as Jim wants 'em.
That’s the way I see it. FReepathons are a good thing.
I didn’t mean to imply that freep-a-thons are a bad thing.
What I meant by “Imagine: no freep-a-thons” was “Imagine if we had enough monthly donors to totally support FR.”
I know. That would be great!
I get it. No problems. :0)
Thank you very much, BuckeyeTexan!!
Woo hoo!!
And this just in:
$20 from Nevada
$20 from Georgia
$10 from California
$100 from Oklahoma
$20 from Missouri
Thank you all very much!!
Thank you very much, EdReform!!
