Adopt A FReeper

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.

Hurry back! Already miss ya!

[onyx]

Don’t be shy.

If you would like to donate, but aren’t able right now...let us know!

If you would like to adopt a FReeper...jump in and make it known!

I have adopted #27-—made a pledge to donate for them.

[hoosiermama]

I can’t remember who I “adopted” last quarter. Would like to do the same this time. Jim, just raise my monthly contribution to 30/m which puts me in the monthly and helps out FR and others....It’s a pass it on, when they’re back on their feet.

[penelopesire]

OK...I am sending in $50.00 more bucks tonight on behalf of the Obot trolls that never donate or stay very long for some strange reason....ROTFLOL!!

PEN ADOPTS A TROLL!!

[gidget7]

I will volunteer to be adopted!! I was once a monthly donor myself, but am on a fixed income, and things are getting ever increasingly tight, and doesn’t appear to be getting better any time soon.

[penelopesire]

Trolls do provide comedy relief sometimes when it comes to zotting...it’s the least I can do....LOL!

Biggirl

[penelopesire]

Glad to do it..even though gidget is no troll! It’s probably best not to feed them anyway....LOL!

God Bless Free Republic!

[onyx]

Biggirl is your second one, penelopesire!!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, penelopesire!!

[gidget7]

Thank you so much penelopesire, That is so good of you, and I am sure FR thanks you as well.

[onyx]

Don’t forget, penelopesire is counting on you to be a troll...lol. J/K.

[Chickensoup]

Long time freeper up for adoption if any one wants. Makes a mean:

CHICKENSOUP!

Also charmingly technology-inept.

Have the capacity to make blood boil.

Can be funny.

[onyx]

hoosiermama, have you adopted anyone yet?

[onyx]

I think we might have a match. I have just inquired.

[Revel]

I need pic’s in order to decide....LOL

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

She needs to be adopted......

[toldyou]

I’m a monthly donor, but I’d like to donate $50.00 for one of our FReepers, Rte66, who passed away in January, 2008. Free Republic was her life. Rest in peace, Janet. As she would say...

{{{Hugs}}}

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I would like to be adopted, please!
Hubby is recovering from cancer surgery/chemo, and I have just had knee surgery.
Things are tight, right now!
I try to make up for it by posting music on The Canteen for the Troops on weekends, but I would really love to help Jim and FR, too!
Thanks very much!
Ms.B

[ButThreeLeftsDo]
