Unlike the federal government, which has the power to steal money from you to pay for programs and policies that you don't support, Free Republic relies on the voluntary donations from it's members.
While there is already a large number of FReepers and lurkers who donate on a regular basis, either monthly, quarterly or a generous yearly donation, it's not enough to cover FR's operating expenses. There are also FReepers who would like to donate, but just don't have the resources because they are temporarily unemployed, living on a fixed income, have on-going medical expenses or other family obligations.
I will make a $25.00 donation on behalf of another FReeper who would like to give, but just can't right now. Are there any other FReepers out there who are willing to give just a little more? I'm asking you to step forward and commit to sending a small donation, $5, $10, $20 or more, in the name a fellow FReeper who doesn't have the funds right now.
What you can do:
If you have a few extra dollars, post your pledge here or put "Adopt a FReeper" in the comment box on donations page.If you're a FReeper who would like to donate, but money is tight, please post here to let us know. You can also FReepmail me and I will try to match you with another FReeper who has indicated they are willing to send in a few extra dollars.
You’re welcome.
What type of job are you looking for?
LOL. Oh my.
So, is Soothsayer the only one in need of a sponsor?
I better go correct the THON thread, or jellybean shoould do it for me...lol.
No I will do it.. idiot that I am...lol.
God bless you, dearest ((((Ladysmith)))
I’ve notified FReeper #228 that you have adopted them!!
leapfrog0202 YOU ROCK!
Yes, Soothsayer is the only open adoption!
You’re not the idiot, onyx...I am!! I forgot to credit leapfrog’s adoptees!
Awesome thread!
(you my FRiend, are brilliant)
I don’t know. I’m still lost. I spent 26 years...my adult life...at my job. (A small printing business). I’m older, can see what’s going on around us, and can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Dancing penguins make me happy!
Did you operate the printing equipment yourself?
Yes, but printing presses are outdated. Everyone uses digital (copier type) equipment now.
I was looking for leaping frogs...lol.
Ok.
Well, click this link and see what looks interesting.

LOL! I love it!!!
You 2 absolutely rock!
I’m so sorry that I didn’t make it clear I’d adopt them, but now we all know! *laughing* (I was FReeping and driving but ONLY at stop lights because a FReepathon is important!!!) So I guess I made the message too short and didn’t say YES!
YES YES YES - so now I’ll owe Mr. Jim $20 for my 2 adopted FReepers and whatever I owe by May 1st for monthlies.
So Jim, if by some minor miracle we max out this FReepathon before May 2 then please take the money I owe and put it toward next time’s FReepathon. Will that work? If we haven’t maxed out, on the morning of May 2 I will donate the entire amount I owe at that point by credit card.
Thanks jellybean, onyx and anyone I’m missing out on for the great ideas to raise extra funds. I’m not good with ideas, but I am good at doing!
*HUGE HUGE FReeper hugs* to all!
And thanks for the frogs and the dancing penguins!
My hubby has called me toad since I told him a story from my childhood and my entire family has given me frogs since the origins of that story, hence the name :-)
FReeping and driving at the same time!! That could be dangerous! I mean, you could misspell a word or something!
