Bump

Wonderful, WIMom. "Let's Roll!"

LETS' ROLL!!

Bump for the cause.

I'm working. I'll be back!

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done. - Ronald Reagan

Help FreeRepublic fulfill it's destiny of helping this Nation fulfill it's destiny............

Support FreeRepublic

Thank you for the great thread!

It may be none of my business, BUT, it might be helpful to understand how much it actually costs to run the site, how much is paid by advertisers (if any), how much has already been donated and what the actual need is. (i.e. have a specific goal and update us on progress towards that goal as the days go by) I for one would consider donating, but I don't want to send $5 dollars if the need is $1Million, nor do I want to fund a non-profit running a surplus. Don't get me wrong, I love freerepublic.com, but as a non-profit counting on donations, the more disclosure the better. If it was a business and you charged a subscription rate (which also would not be a bad idea) how much would it cost per person to keep the site alive? Have you considered charging subscriptions and only allowing paid subscribers to post (but allow free reading?). Just curious..again, not really any of my business.

BUMP!

WHERE WOULD YOU GET YOUR NEWS FROM IF FREEREPUBLIC WASN'T HERE?

I'd call Jim Robinson at his house and I'd say, "Hey, JimBo, what's happenin?"

He'd probably tell me. And then I'd hang up.

This is posted near the top. It may answer all your questions. If not, let us know.....

Bump!!

OK, that helps, but IF you were a business, and given how many subscribers you have, how much would each need to pay in order to keep a float? It sounds like the need is around $100K annually...how many regular readers and or posters are on-line? Also, I assume donations are not tax-deductible?

Bumps and thanks EdReform!

There's always DU or Salon......

OK OK, igore my last question, I see all the info I need in the header...sorry for wasting the bandwidth...I'll paypal a contribution...still not tax deductible, right?

Hi Humidston! You know, I don't think people realize that all of us here, have already donated. This is our way of helping more. Thanks for bumping and for donating!

Censor? Where is your "scarcasm" tag? This is the FReeRepublic, animus, only filth, and liberal lies are censored here.

I don't roll well without my Cap! Don't leave lodwick behind, he wants to ROLL with you guys!

Thank you, freeper12!

No, it's not tax deductible.

I can't answer all those questions. I know there are about 60,000 registered users here. I know it costs thousands of dollars every quarter to keep the server running, but the I have a call for help. I just ask for money because I believe in this forum and in freedom.

Over here lol!

Thank you for letting me know they were all over there!

OK, let me go and get caugt up with the threads. BADJOE asked if I would let him get caught up, so, the attack is in the foxhole for now.

If you mailed me, I think I was able to answer all.....

Also, we may have had more donations today than the last 2-3 days combined! Thanks everyone!

"More people get their news from FreeRepublic than from any other news source."

(At least, people with a clue do.)

Bump and thanks for your efforts WIMom. I sent my $40 via snail mail around the time of Thread 12. Come on lurkers, give. It feels sooooo good.......

From the previous thread: Posts #120, 122, 132 for a total of $1,07.00

THANK YOU FREEPERS

Is Badjoe backed up on donations? Great! Sorry, Joe, but I'm on the attack and will not quit!

Hey, give it a try........hehehe! If it works, you will have to let all of us know! There is coffee and donuts in the morning, so stop by!

You're welcome!

Thanks!

What would EVER get done without our Mother's help?

BADJOE, Pay attention now: Hit the plastic for 100USD! This donation is to be in "Billie's" name for giving hundreds, maybe thousands of Freepers, and moocher-mullets, an opportunity to laugh once more.

To The Top! Fantastic job ALL!

BUG OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What would we have done during the election? or x-42's escapades?

FROM THE OTHER THREAD

Three more for total of $80.00

Eight more in for toatl of $845.00


Four more in to work up but just had to put this up from Lurker who just sent FR $50.00

Her Comment

Thank you for doing this and while I'm been a lurker since day one and member since 2000 I taking this opportunity to do my part in keeping FR alive. More than ever we need this forum and what better way to help fight terroism than a national forum to diseminate informtion and to keep freedom alive....thank you JimRob for starting Free Republic and in the names of all those who lost their lives on Sept 11th I gladly make my donation to FR........ God Bless America

Thank you Lurker

THIS IS NOT ABOUT A "CAP"!
This IS About Supporting Freerepublic.com !

---

GET THOSE BIDS IN HERE............NOW!!!!

This IS About "OUR NATION"!!!! "OUR 'AMERICA' OUR COUNTRY"!!!!

Absolutely pathetic! This data shows that too many Freepers are really socialists looking for a free lunch!

You posted, There are over 60,000 registered users on FreeRepublic and only 1,000 help keep this forum running regularly."

That means these 1,000 or 1.6% of FreeRepublic users are really conservatives. The rest must really be communists or socialists who want a free lunch at FreeRepublic!

I'm retired and on social security. FreeRepublic gets an automatic check each month after my Social Security Check is deposited. I started this last December after FreeRepublic helped to save this Republic from be Goronized after the election!

Each month, Check Free sends an automatic check to my mortgage company, my church, my grandkids' education funds, Free Republic and another brave one man web site!

If each free loader cancelled their liberal fish wrap and sent to Free Republic an automatic monthly check of one half of what they pay the left wing extremist fishwrap, Free Republic could expand and really drive left wing extremists really crazy!

The other way to do this is to cancel your expensive tv cable which probably does not carry Fox Network News. Then subscribe to one of the TV satellite services. Then send your monthly savings in an automatic check to Free Republic!

Of course the conservative way to do it is really very simple. Make a monthly pledge to Free Republic and set it up to be done on an automatic basis. Then move on to the rest of your life and do more good deeds!

Usually in any organization, 10 to 20 % of the people involve contribute 80% of the value received and do 80 to 90% of the work. The 1.6% of Freepers being regular contributors is a truly pathetic % for those 59,000 who call themselves conservatives and do not contribute on a regular basis! (I know that some Freepers give some rather large sums on a yearly basis, and this nagging is not intended for them!)

I wonder how many who are so proud of an early date of belonging to FreeRepublic are also proud regular donators?

I would like to see a symbol by our profiles noting that person is a regular giver/donator to Free Republic. That would tell me a lot about someone that I don't know. If they are not a regular donor, then their message will be filtered with, "Why Not!"!

Our church has installed a new organ, new pews and recently completed a $650,000 earthquake retro fit. There is a plaque with the significant givers for each project! As Senior Warden emeritus, I get a lot of complaints and suggestions from members. Before I act or do anything, I check to see if they are regular pledgers/donors and if they supported the church in its time of special needs! Guess which ones, I really listen to and get involved with? I would like to know which Freepers are regular or monthly supporters!

I will be increasing my monthly donation to FreeRepublic starting in October! That is my monthly tithe to be able to come here and really get the news! I know that many retired and limited income people can't donate on a regular basis, so my "grampa nagging here" is aimed at those who can and don't, and are really socialist freeloaders! Who want a lot for nothing!

Grampa off his soap box!

Thank you, Jim for your wonderful invention! Like all wonderful inventions there is a price tag unless you are a communist or a socialist!

That's kind of catchy J

Hi Mr.K- Was your challenge good only if the money came from NYers?

eureka! Thanks for the donation!

Thank you FRIEND!!!!

I told you I was going to be away for a while and the new thread came up while I was still tahnk FReepers!!!! LOL

I'm going to get through the posts to here and then I will be gone again for about an hour or so!!!!

Bare minimum is in excess of $20,000/ month.

Seven more donations in. Total $321.00

Thank you Freepers.

bumpity bump bump (by the way, before i discovered FR i had to click around to LOTS of other news sites just to get a fifth of what i get here)
