I’m curious,dear brother.

Do you make any profit from free republic when people donate money?

If so, how do you justify making this profit?

[Jim Robinson]

It’s non-commercial, but not an IRS non-profit. We’re not independently wealthy and we (me, John, Amy and Chris) do not have the financial wherewithal to provide this website and keep it going without donations. The like-minded loyal FReepers who love and use FR always come through for us. Thank you all very much!

Donations to FR are not tax deductible. My partners and I pay all applicable state and federal taxes on FR’s income as members of the Limited Liability Company (Free Republic, LLC).

I remember reading that some organizations have more autonomy free from government when not designated a non-profit.

I am happy and thank God for this site. It is a pleasure to read and meet others in this Free Republic. I am very grateful for it. I am a donor too. I vote prolife. I want to thank you personally Mr Jim Robinson and crew. I pray for you and everyone here.

Let me just say I prayed and fasted last October during the debates and Election Day. I did not eat those days till after midnight. I believe individually it was powerfully anointed for people but not as a nation. I believe in the spirit I was doing the right thing but the Lord showed myself that especially of all issues the weight of 55 million babies killed weighs heavy on this nation since 1973. Too many politicians give lip service if they do even that action. Individually we are in his hands but collectively as a nation this is a judgement coming. I hate to write these words. Please pray even more. Freeper Cheers.
