Welcome to the New Free Republic Donation System!
John has programmed a great new donation system for us. It can accept credit cards or PayPal donations and will eventually also accept electronic checks. We have installed a new secure server system and have contracted with Authorize.net to do the actual credit card processing, and, of course, PayPal will process the PayPal donations through their system.
I've changed the links on our front page to link to the new program:
If you have bookmarks to the old system, please update to the new. The old system will be discontinued.
Take a test drive through the new system if you haven't already, and notice that it has several new features and reports available, including scoreboard, current stats, our budget and a faq. It's live now, so if you enter a donation it's for real (and thank you very much if you do).
John will continue making enhancements to the new system as we go, but the basic program is ready to go, and is live, and on the air.
We've decided to roll out our 4th quarter fundraiser with the new system on a late Saturday afternoon, as Saturday's are slow days and we might as well be gentle while breaking in the new system.
Thank you John for the new system! Great work!
Thank you BadJoe, WillaJohns, WIMom and all of the dedicated hardworking volunteers on the fundraising team who have helped us so much with these FReepathons in the past.
And thank you all for your continuing efforts! Without your dedication and hard work, FR could not stay on the air.
And thank you FReepers! Without your continued participation and financial support there would be no Free Republic!
A note to current monthly donors: We will need you to re-enter your recurring monthly donation to the new system, but please do not do it yet. Joe just processed your September donations on the 20th of September. The new system processes your donation on the day it is entered, so please wait until later in October to start your monthly on the new system. Also, please let BadJoe know via FReepmail (and please include your real name so he can match it with your credit card info in his file) after you re-enter your monthly donation so he can take you off his list. At the end of October, he will email all of those on his list who have not contacted him to remind them of the new system. Thank you very much for your continued support.
A note to prospective new monthly donors: We have included a list of our fixed monthly expenses as well as an estimate of our non-recurring expenses on our budget page of the donation system. We've also included an estimate of our current recurring monthly donations from our monthly donors. If and when the total of the recurring monthly donations ever meets our monthly expenses, there will no longer be a need for these FReepathons. It can happen someday. Thank you for considering a regular monthly contribution.
Note to all: We are looking forward to an exciting and rewarding election cycle. I know that we are not all in full agreement on this, but I sincerely believe that we have an excellent opportunity with this election to set the liberals back many years. And I also believe that winning this election in a big way for the conservatives will be the spark that allows our fight to return the Constitution to its rightful place as the Supreme Law of the Land to really get off the ground. I sincerely believe this is essential in our fight to secure our Liberty!
We hold the White House and the House of Representatives. If we re-take the majority in the Senate, it will be one of the very rare times in our history that the conservatives have held the majority control in all departments.
I see this as a gift from God. A majority means that the conservatives will chair the various committees of Congress and can set the legislative agenda. And, perhaps more importantly, a majority in the Senate will make it much more likely that President Bush's appointments will be confirmed.
This means we will be able to start replacing some of the liberal judicial activists on the bench with conservatives (don't tell Daschle & Co. that) and perhaps we will finally have a real shot at actually overturning some of the liberal bunk that has been foisted on us over the last century or so. How about overturning Roe vs Wade? With the current mood of the populace and with a conservative Senate, I think it can be done!
Remember, the liberals have controlled all or most of our government for at least 80 of the last 100 years. No wonder we are in such a mess today. This is the best opportunity we've ever had to reverse it in a big way. Kick the liberals out! Take control of the Senate and replace the liberal judiciary. This alone will set liberalism back thirty to forty years!
We must not fail to take advantage of this opportunity. Daschle and Company sense their days are numbered and are in a panic. Now is the time to redouble our efforts and throw these bums out!
I expect the volume on Free Republic to pick-up substantially as we head into the final weeks and days of the campaign season. And I expect exciting things will be happening for for all of us!
Thank you all very much!
God bless you all and may God continue to bless America!

Only $6,461 to go!!!
Only $6,461 to go!!!
McAuliffe came down to Richmond,
He was lookin' for some votes to steal,
He was in a bind 'cuz RATS're always lyin',
And he was willin' to make a deal!
Then he came accross this young man,
Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot...
Left's KlintonKlone jumped up on an ol' Dogwood stump,
And growled, "Boy, let me tell you what...
Perhaps you didn't know it, but I'm a politician, too,
And if you care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
Now you play pretty good fiddle, boy, but give this Lib'ral his due...
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, cuz I think I'm better 'n you!"
Ol' Mud said, "My name's Mudboy and I don't trust yer spin...
But I'll take your bet and you're gonna regret,
'Cuz I'm Righter'n you ever been!"
(Chorus)
Mudboy, you rosin up your bow and play yer fiddle hard,
'Cuz Hell's broke loose in Richmond and Big Guv'ment deals it hard.
And if you win you'll get that shiny fiddle made of gold,
But if you lose, the Lib'rals get your soul.
Terry PUNK opened up his case and said, "I'll start this show!"
Slick's Bile spewed from his lyin' lips as he rosined up his bow...
And he pulled the bow accross the strings and it made an Evil hiss!
The Liberal Medyuh joined in and it sounded somethin' like this...
(Warner fiddle solo...Leftist Med'yuh keyboards in)
When Slick, Jr. finished, Mudboy said,
"Well, yer pretty good, Vile One,
But sit down in that chair right there,
And I'll show you how it's done!!
"Spies in Slick's White House, Leftist Scum...
Slick's sold us out to the China-men!
Sickenin' true Americans, bangin' Dem Whores,
Lib'ral Bastards gonna Hear MUD Roar!!
(Mudboy solo)
McAuliffe bowed his head becuz he knew that he'd been beat,
And he laid that gilded crown on the ground at Mudboy's feet.
Mudboy said, "Lib'ral, you come on back if you ever want to try again,
I done told you once, you sonofabitch, I'm Righter'n you ever been!"
Mud sang, "Spies in Slick's White House, Vile TREASON!!
Willie sold his soul to the Evil One!
Slick's goin' to prison, takin' his Whore,
Medyuh's whinin', "Who wouldda known?!"

BTW...Ms. Thatcher, could you pass the word onto the Lovable Fuzzball that Dubyuh couldn't help us out here in Virginia, but the Maja Rushie's assistance would be greatly appreciated at the 26th of October FReeper Rally at the Washington Monument?!!

Please FReepMail me, Angelwood, or kristinn...
*17 cents per day to save this poor innocent puppie is all we ask.
*17 cents per day equals a $5/month pledge to Free Republic to keep the innocent puppie alive and well.
This might be a good one to run for a while on the threads.
Thanks
Non Pledging Freepers can you afford 17 cents a day to keep this poor innocent dog alive. Glock Rocks hates this dog and plans to off it if this Freepathon runs into the weekend.
