Good Morning and Blessed Lord's Day Deplorable-FReeper-Patriot-FRiends!
Today, June 11, is day 72 of our Quarter 2's FReepathon! Unreal, but that is the sad, shameful truth. Our Quarter 3's FReepathon commences in a mere 20 days!
Talk about never ending FReepathons ... we're about to enter that territory. We're at 89%, not even 90% which brings on the much heralded YELLOW!
Is this what you want?
I don't and I don't think y'all do either!
These multi-month FReepathons are not fair to Jim, not fair to Jim's dedicated FReepathon Team and certainly not fair to all of you, FR's loyal donors who carry the load for those among us who enjoy and use Free Republic but elect to participate and use us "free."
I wish we knew the screen names of the FReeploaders but there's no telling. I can only point you all to the donor information I have. (See below)
I and others have been wondering should we ask posters of Vanities to contribute $5.00 for each Vanity?
Would it help if we asked all posters of articles to also post a graphic with a link to our FReepathons as a means of getting more members involved in our FReepathons?
It's no secret that Jim's FReepathon Team is down to 3 or 4 full-time members. Manning the FReepathon threads every day for 2 months and longer equates to over 8 months out of every year.
The following people have made Free Republic possible. Thank you all for your support. Highlighted donors contribute $1/day or more! Thank you very much!
2017 Q2 — 458 donors (185 shown)
Scroll Down to see 2017 Q1 — 572 donors (297 shown)
As you can see, I am NOT listed, but I donate $50.00 monthly, so please understand that even this list is incomplete. My screen name can be found on the 300 Club.
We also have our 300 Club Roster, (shown below) which is up to date.
Unfortunately, our Monthly Donor and Dollar-A-Day Donor Lists are hopelessly out of date, with several of our members now listed on our Memorial Wall and others no longer participating at FR for one reason or another.
Your thoughts?
Suggestions?
Thanks very much.
God bless and keep you all.
THIS IS NOT TODAY'S FReepathon thread!!!

Advertising?
Advertisers want to control the content of where their adverts are.
Example: Youtube and the Adpocalypse.
If the advertisers don’t like the content they throw a hissy and pull skeevy things on the content creators.
Got my ticket to ride.
Breitbart is one nasty-assed mess IMO.
Thank you for the replies.
Bump!
Been on board all along and am staying there.
Thank you very much, be-baw!! Have now added your screen name to the 300 Club.
You done me wrong JR and glad to see you are sorry;)
Have one small request (and no, it isn’t a diamond ring;) Is there any way to bring back the #views to the threads?
It helps to gauge interest on a particular topic.
p.s.
Thanks for all you do.
Greatest site on Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much, sodpoodle!! I think that may be one of the features John dropped to save wear and tear on cpu cycles and database accesses, ie, efficiency.
I hate advertising...I love Free Republic.
If you’re posting...Why are you not donating?
Large or small ...we need your contributions.

Aw, Jim, you say the nicest things! ;)
Happy 18-year member, and a monthly donor, here.
Dear Onyx. This certainly a huge concern. More importantly we need to have a period of serious prayer about it
Onyx is just one of a handful of FReepers who spend their time tirelessly to keep our FReepathons running smoothly. It's a slow and frustrating job for all concerned, especially when so many of our largest FReeploaders are the posters of the most frequent and worthless vanities.
All Onyx was doing was pointing out the problems that she and the FReepathon Team encounter every quarter, and the fact that this FReepathon looks as though it will flow right into the next one in July. She was venting a frustration that a lot of us share.
This is the kind of vanity that should be given a pass.
Hi lovely lady.
Karnac told me to bump this thread.
5.56mm
The donations of others who can “take the heat” enable there to be a Religion Thread for you to post on.
Without donations there would be no Free Republic.
Hillary lost the election, Trump won (thereby saving America), and we’re now working hard draining the swamp and making America great again!!
Ya left out “EUrope hates us and so does the world over that silly climate changy thingy” too .. SkrEUwy times indeed.
Maybe we should have let Stalin take a bigger chunk way back when we saved them before,, some sure seem to act like it.. and even seem to be OK with a global caliphate running things. Go figure.
100%!
Ping.
How about it, Sean, buddy? Dollar a day? You can do it!
Five bucks a month is about all I can afford. Even that would help.
Breitbart is one nasty-assed mess IMO.
