Get off the sidelines CHEAPSKATES and pony up to FR.
Vanity ^ | Jan. 20, 2010 | wildbill

Posted on 01/20/2010 4:53:24 PM PST by wildbill

I'm making do on a small Social Security pension and felt obligated to make a small donation to FR because of all the news and fun it gives me during the year.

If I can do it, I know all you youngsters with jobs out there can give something.

After I made my donation, a screen appeared that showed the top states in donations and the disgustingly small number of FREEPERS who care enough to donate to keep our site going. It's an outrage.

Don't let others carry your weight. Time to pony up.

If Jim Robb charged all of us a small monthly fee of one measley dollar he'd be a rich man. Don't let this invaluable resource go begging.

What you said. I’m carrying several of you slackers. Take $10 off your party and toy money and put it to FR. It won’t hurt ya.

HEY!!! If someone from Bulgaria and Albania can donate, shouldn’t we American who say we love freedom? We’re receiving foreign aid to keep freedom alive-not that it’s not appreciated.

I absolutely agree with you but, really, a less caustic statement could be made. If you are a moderator.....I beg for mercy! lol. I'm sure you are probably well rooted in FR but humilation is not a a successful tactic to use, and a self righteousness position/attitude does little to 'persuade'.

WildBill:

My friend I concur one hundred percent. I am 85 years old and have an ill wife of 80, still I get my quartly donation off to Jim. Like you I live on SS, and a small pension. I donate a total of $100.00 each year, that is $25.00 each quarter. Like you said, if each Freeper just donated a couple of dollars this site would be better.

The very best to you and yours.

Yes, much too slowly. I am a monthly donor. Jim has access to my card and does a monthly withdrawal. All I have to do is make an entry in my check book.

How many of you subscribe to a magazine or newspaper? Cancel one and send that money to FR. You will get more news and more fun than you get from any of those subscriptions. I agree that it is weaselly for some to get free use on other’s dimes. Not that I mind paying for someone who is not able to for whatever reason.

Don’t even like to say how much we donate. This Month we pitched in $100. Next month we’ll do another $50. I’m still working, only 54 years old.

Come on everyone, let’s roll. This site had a large impact on yesterday’s victory. I don’t need a thank you. I need to thank you!

Been that way for 10 years. The funny thing, some of the most vocal and biggest bandwidth swillers on the site never give a dime. Some people considered FR “leaders” never pony up at FAT time.
