Woo hoo!! Less than $22k to go!! We can do this!! [FReepathon thread XX]

Still lagging a bit behind the pace from last quarter, but we're getting there. Please keep those donations coming in, folks, so we can end this thing soon. If we can raise a minimum of 10% per week, we can be done within the next three weeks!!

FR is funded solely by contributions made by like-minded liberty loving patriots who enjoy and use it and think it's a worthwhile endeavor to support.

We are self-funded, fiercely independent and enjoy our freedom to speak plainly in the defense Liberty.

Free Republic stands for God and Country!! We defend Life, Family, Constitution, Liberty!! And we defend our God-given, constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms!! TO THE HILT!!

We are beholden to no political party, no outsiders, no sugar daddies, no advertisers, no corporate string pullers. We do not depend on government grants or tax payer subsidies. It's just us, baby, and we need each other. Now more than ever!!

If you have not yet made your donation this quarter, today would be an excellent day to do so.

Every donation counts no matter how big or small. If you can donate $5, $10, $20 or more, it would be greatly appreciated.

Your loyal support makes Free Republic possible and your continuing participation makes FR the leading INDEPENDENT pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense, pro-gun, pro-borders grassroots conservative forum on the Net!!

And we're going to need FR now more than ever to combat the current crop of Marxists, fascists, progressives, collectivists and assorted totalitarians of every stripe who have infested our government and public institutions and who are dead set on destroying the final remnants of our cherished constitution and our precious God-given Liberty!!

The only thing standing between us and totalitarian domination is our constitution... and our guns!! Never, ever give up your guns!!

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive."
Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (Philadelphia 1787)
