Free Republic doesn't have the financing of some billionaire, hidden in the background. Free Republic is "grass roots" all the way. $20 or $30 per month doesn't sound like a lot, but when multiplied by thousands of FReepers, it keeps us "on the air".
WE NEED YOU! Anything you can give is so greatly appreciated. If you can become a monthly donor, that is fabulous. If five dollars is what you can manage, bring it! Your on-going support is crucial, and our thanks to you are immeasurable.
