5% continues to support 100% of FR

The sad truth remains that 5% of FReepers support 100% of FR. Can you imagine what it would be like if we had 10% support? These things would wrap up in days, not months.

When I joined FR ten years ago, it was not uncommon to git 'er done in 7-10 days. It was less expensive 10 years ago, but, it really shouldn't take two months.

Not everybody can donate. I get that. But, I'm certain that we have some among the 95% that are FReeploading. Harsh words, but I know it's true.

Imagine no FR. No way to get the REAL news that affects us all. No pool of talent to ferret out the real truth. No ability to call BS when we see it.

The list goes on.

We need your help. We need new donors. We need new blood.

If you've never donated, give it a whirl. If you donate once in a while, try monthly donations. It's really painless.

Imagine a Freepathon that lasts days, not months.

I bet if FR management got rid of obnoxious morons like humblegunner it’s fund-raising drive would be wrapped up by now.

Drat.

I've made a solemn vow to send in an extra donation every time some crybaby smears Humblegunner's good name during a fund drive. There goes another $25.00 into tomorrow's mail.

p.s. ONCE per fund drive.

p.p.s. It's "its" not "it's".

Stop calling people freeloaders for viewing a website that’s wide open to the public. Do you pay to read every site you visit? FR should start selling ad space.

Just a reminder to my Quinn & Rose-buds. Help out if you can swing it. One time, or monthly - it’s all good.

Good for you!!!

Even $5 from the 95% could make a difference for this quarter. How about it? A day without FR is a day without sunshine (and of course pertinent information).

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I used to have time to listen in, but a shift in my workload in the AM makes it most impossible.

Thanks for pinging your list.

BTTT

Every donation counts!

Every donation is truly and greatly appreciated!

FR is OUR Home.

What would we do without Free Republic?

Actually, they were taken off the air last November. Rumor has it they will be back on the air after Labor Day on a different station. We’re all hoping and praying the rumors are true!

> Unfortunately the economy has hurt some FReepers. We have lost some faithful givers and newer posters aren’t taking up the slack. It’s a combination of circumstances.

I’m one of the victims of Obama otherwise I’d be donating.

[Alamo-Girl]

Indeed. Buuuuump for more donors!

[yldstrk]

I have asked before for FR to quantify it, what is a fair share?

[Chunga85]

One of the best things I liked about FR was the opinions from regions all around the country. Not everything worthy of reading/discussing comes from Drudge and the (supposedly) dreaded “MSM”. The pathological obsession with blog bashing is popular with people like you but not everyone. Pump up your donations to compensate. Punctuation police are almost as annoying Mr. “Fightin” [sic] Whitey. Do you correct everyone you speak with for pronouncing things wrong? How silly and boring. I’ve donated before but it’s people like you that make me not want to.

There are quite a few who donate $5 monthly. There’s also 2 members of the Loose Change Club. :-)

I know of a freeper who has really soured on donations because of the grief he gets on the religious threads.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

YAY!

[no-to-illegals]

Is so pleasant and wonderful to see you on the board, onyx.

[Huskrrrr]

Absolutely!

[DJ MacWoW]

It’s hard on FReepers who are used to donating and now they can’t. There are those who could take up the slack but don’t. *shrugging*

[deadrock]

Now now....
