Woo hoo!! Please keep those donations coming in, folks. Let's git 'er done!!
FR is funded solely by contributions made by the liberty loving patriots who enjoy and use it.
We are beholden to no political party.
No advertisers, no outsiders, no sugar daddies, no corporate string pullers.
No commercial ads. No annoying pop-ups. No ad tracking. No mail campaigns. No spam.
Definitely no government subsidies or tax breaks.
We are self-funded, fiercely independent and enjoy our freedom to speak plainly in the support of God, family, country, liberty!!
But we cannot exist without you.
Every donation counts no matter how big or small. If you can donate $5, $10, $20, $100 or more, it would be greatly appreciated.
Your loyal support makes Free Republic possible and your continuing participation makes FR the number one pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense conservative forum on the Net!!
And we're going to need FR now more than ever to combat the current crop of Marxists and progressives who have infested our government and public institutions and who are dead set on destroying the final remnants of our cherished constitution and our precious God-given liberty!!
Please click the secure server link above or donate by mail to: Free Republic - PO Box 9771 - Fresno, CA 93794
Make it a monthly if you can. We have some very generous FReeper sponsors kicking in an extra ten bucks for every new monthly signed up and we now have 39 new monthlies this quarter
Or send in a hundred dollars or more per quarter and join I_be_tc's growing list of 300 Club patriots. I_be_tc sends in $100 per quarter and challenges 300 others to do the same. And we have received 178 donations of $100 or more so far this quarter. If we could get 300 FReepers to send in $100 per quarter, these FReepathons would complete much faster.
Thank you all very much!!
God bless.
Hello Jim Robinson,
And thanks for all you do here.
Is this net neutrality stuff going to affect FreeRepublic?
If so how?
Again, thanks
It won’t affect us near as much as the coming FEC internet regulations will if we can’t block it.
Dear Jim, I got this letter from Mozilla just a few minutes ago. It seems that we have won!
Susan M,
Thank You for helping protect our public resource
Today will go down in history as the day we won real protections for net neutrality.
After a long campaign, this morning the FCC voted for what we demanded, and what a few big cable companies did not want: strong, enforceable net neutrality rules based on classifying broadband as a Title II communications service. Huge sums were spent lobbying Congress to try to limit what we can create and build and do online.
We accomplished what seemed impossible: we stood together, took on the goliaths, and won.
This was no small feat. It was the biggest show of public engagement the FCC had ever seen — a mass movement of historic proportions. Millions of public comments flooded Washington on this issue. By banding together, we’ve helped to keep the Web open and accessible for everyone, equally.
What’s next? We’ve known all along that cable companies would turn to the courts if they lost with the FCC, and that’s exactly what they’re preparing to do, but they likely have a very difficult road ahead. The President himself spoke in favor of strong rules to protect net neutrality. The FCC chairman, a former cable and wireless industry lobbyist, led the FCC to a vote on the rules we asked for. And anti-net neutrality bills in Congress have fizzled.
We have built a powerful and unified grassroots movement, and we aren’t going anywhere.
We all know this won’t be the last time we will need to join together to protect the Web from those that want to control it. With the net neutrality fight underway in the European Union, this victory in the U.S. will hopefully boost efforts there. Mozilla’s policy experts are also keeping an eye on legislation about surveillance, privacy, and online safety and security just on the horizon.
A handful of growing empires will no doubt try again to take more control of what is possible and what is imaginable on the Web. I hope we can call on you to stand with us when the time comes. Strength in numbers — that’s how we win.
Today we celebrate — click here to get a special photo to use for your Facebook profile to help commemorate this awesome victory.
Thanks again for your work to make today’s outcome possible and for all that you do to protect the open Web.

Good job on your continuing physical progress.
I did? Goodness. I’m so out of shape because of the post-chemo
exhaustion that I really have to build up my strength again for
when I’m done with the nasty drugs on April 15. Sometime in
May, I should be getting better on the treadmill again.
I’m happy to hear that you are keeping fit too!
