Donations needed to keep FR alive!!

Free Republic is currently delivering over 1.2 million pageviews to over 230,000 visitors per day. That's 40 million pageviews to 7 million visitors per month or 120 million pageviews per quarter, 480 million pageviews per year. We currently have over 340,000 registered screen names on FR. Out of these millions of visits, hundreds of millions of pageviews, hundreds of thousands of registered FReepers and hundreds of thousands of regular lurkers only a relatively FEW actually donate the funds to keep FR alive.

Now I'm not complaining, because we've always managed to meet our fundraising goals in the past, but it is taking longer and longer to accomplish the task. And part of that may be because it's mostly the same few dedicated FReepers providing the funds, and, along with the rest of us, I'm sure they're stretched to the limit. Sure would be nice if a few more FReepers and lurkers would lend a hand and send in a few bucks. Doesn't take much. I think our average donation is around $20, but you can send in $5, $10, $20, $30 or more, and make it a monthly contribution if you can.

A relatively few good FReepers is all it takes to keep FR on the air so that hundreds of thousands of us can join together in kicking liberal butt and continue the fight for our freedom!!

For example, 1,500 dedicated FReepers and lurkers donating an average of $20 each per month is all it takes to continue delivering these hundreds of millions of propaganda-fighting, pro-liberty pages to tens of millions of readers every year. How many concerned citizens and potential voters can we reach for a tiny fraction of a cent per page? FR delivers a BIG bang for the buck!!

Thank you for providing the bang AND the buck!!

If you enjoy posting and or reading FR and have never donated before, please consider doing so today. You can donate by secure server using PayPal or Credit Card by clicking the link below:

Or send your checks or money orders to:

Thank you all very much for your continuing participation and support!!

Rebellion is brewing!!

Keep your powder dry.

FR is owned and operated by Jim while his son John keeps the site up and running. The money is used to support FR and the Robinson's. Please note FR is an LLC as found on the bottom of the comments page. It's a full time job running a website of this magnitude and the Robinson's deserve to be paid for the service they provide.

Having said that, any donation of any amount you choose to make will help keep FR around. If you feel no need to donate in order to participate on this site, that's your right.

If you think it's okay for people to voluntarily donate whatever amount they can afford and think the experience of FR is worth the amount they choose then you can send in a donation.

Jim, once I make it through April 15th I'll be able to become a monthly donor again. Knocking on wood (among other things) that things have stabilized to the point to where I don't have to worry constantly about when the next "surprise" hospital stay will be.

There are four of us working on the project, two full-time and two part-time. Plus we have bandwidth and equipment expenses and all the other normal expenses, fees, taxes and costs of doing business. Doubt our expenses are out of line with any other internet organization of similar size and probably smaller than most.

Here’s a breakdown of our budgeted expenses:

We also now have some debt related to our travels and tea party events last year that we need to raise money to pay off.

And, no, we do not raise money for candidates or any other purposes other than our operating expenses and or our activism projects/events.
