[Jim Robinson]

We should be able to wrap this baby up today!! Go, FReepers!!

Click the donate link and make your donation count today!!

Drain the swamp and Make America Great Again!!

Prayers up for continuing progress and success.

FR is funded solely by contributions made by the liberty loving patriots who love and use it.

We are beholden to no political party.

No advertisers, no outsiders, no sugar daddies, no corporate string pullers.

Definitely no government subsidies or tax breaks. No 501c or other IRS non-profit status.

This means no commercial ads. No annoying pop-ups. No ad tracking. No mail campaigns. No spam. No third-parties -- not even the IRS -- trying to control what we do or say.

We are self-funded, fiercely independent and enjoy our freedom to speak plainly in the support of God, family, country, liberty!!

But we cannot exist without you.

Every donation counts no matter how big or small. If you can donate $5, $10, $20, $100 or more, it would be greatly appreciated.

Your loyal support makes Free Republic possible and your continuing participation makes FR the number one pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense, pro-America conservative forum on the Net!!

And we're going to need FR now more than ever to combat the current crop of Marxists and progressives 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!!

Please click the secure server link above or donate by mail to:

Free Republic - PO Box 9771 - Fresno, CA 93794

Make it a Monthly if you can. We have some very generous FReeper sponsors kicking in an extra ten bucks for every New Monthly signed up. And we have 59 new monthly donors signed up so far this quarter!!

Or send in a hundred dollars or more per quarter and join I_be_tc's growing list of 300 Club patriots. I_be_tc sends in $100 per quarter and challenges 300 others to do the same. If we could get 300 FReepers to send in $100 per quarter, these FReepathons would complete much faster. And we have received 207 donations of $100 or more so far this quarter!!

Thank you all very much!!

God bless.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, hoosiermama!! Merry Christmas!

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, MEG33!! Merry Christmas!

[MEG33]

My pleasure, Jim. FReepers Rock!

[Bodega]

When I sent in my credit card number, etc. I thought you would use it every month. Was I wrong?

Actually I was delighted to use my card because it meant I didn’t have to write out a check. It is hard for me to write because I have RA.

So, I need to know, was I wrong about you using my card for my small donation?

[Salvation]

My pleasure, Jim.

Have a blessed Christmas!

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, Bodega. Your monthly credit card donation is next scheduled to be processed on the 18th and should be processed on or about the 18th each month thereafter, until you say stop.

Congrats, Jim!

FR still the best discussion forum around. Been limited to my cell phone this last year with my wifi appropriated by family members taking classes online, but I’ve managed to stay in touch. Posting threads and any html is much harder with this tiny device, but that doesn’t change reality. FR has the best discussion software on the planet going on 2 decades now. FR blows facebook away.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, xzins!! God bless.

Sorry I was a little late to the party. I was worried about Christmas funds.

But now I’m getting a tax cut! $50 to you, Jim!
