TANSTAFL

There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch



That is something we sure don't hear everyday but I bet every Conservative here on Free Republic wishes our Federal government understood the meaning of TANSTAFL.

Now more than ever it is critically important for Conservatives to have Free Republic as our online resource where we can discuss the real news, not the news as the current administration's public relations spin machine is spewing it.

We need Free Republic because it's the premiere Conservative online site where Conservatives can discuss, defend and make cogent arguments about all Conservative issues.

Free Republic is a site where Conservatives give voice to opinions in often heated discussions.

Free Republic also serves as a rallying point where Conservatives can align with other Conservatives and get involved in making our strongly held opinions heard above the fray of leftist bleating.

Conservatives on Free Republic become involved and remain involved in grassroots activism, all while making the steps necessary to return our country to its Conservative principles and standards.

Jim Robinson wrote: "...Thirty four cities, thirty four rallies in 15 days, then on to Washington, DC! And two million of us Marched On DC!..."

A word from Jim Robinson:

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 350,000 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 are pinged it is because I just spent today reading through posts and articles here typing up a pretty large ping list which due to my time constraints only includes a very small portion of the total number of actively posting FReepers. Before I began typing today, I knew that Free Republic was big, but I had no idea it was this big.

Free Republic is a massive site which includes an extensive archive of articles and posts dating back to the beginning.

It costs money for this site to stay open. Jim Robinson and John Robinson spend an incredible amount of their own personal time in front of their computers trying to keep Free Republic running.

If you have already donated please ping your Ping lists, and then bump the FReepathon threads. Thanks!

Yeah, all you guys who are not monthly donors pony up $3 bucks a month(10 would be better)and there would be no need
for FReeper thons. I realize some of you are hurting now, so am I, but I donate monthly, it is the best way to go.

If you haven't donated yet, Free Republic is a huge site, taking up a lot of bandwidth, has a massive archive of articles dating back to the beginning.

It costs money to have a site this big, to pay rent for the dozen servers, electricity and both Jim Robinson and John Robinson spend many hours every single day in front of their computers trying to keep Free Republic running.
