SUBJECT: DO IT NOW
Dear Freeper,
Free Republic is, in my opinion, the best conservative news and discussion site on the web. It has been the best for so many years running, that I really cannot think of any other site that comes close. I've gone to other news outlets, conservative ones, and they allow you to comment on their articles, there's some possibility of those comments starting a discussion, and with great difficulty one can carry on that discussion.
With Free Republic it is automatic. The very nature of the software makes discussion possible, comments findable, and information attainable. It is night and day. Free Republic is a natural discussion interface, and to be honest with you....everything else is not.
This is also the only place I don't have a fair amount of what I post get deleted. I'm not real sure how I, a conservative, offend supposed conservatives moderators policing those various news sites, but I do. Those who know me over the years know that I'm not that much of a bomb thrower. For the most part I'm polite, and only every now and then do I get sarcastic.
Besides, the moderators on Free Republic are fairly indulgent. It has to be a racist or violent post to get taken down -- but we've had trolls try to get away with that around here -- and sometimes a poster gets excised from the group. Hail Viking Kitties.
YOU have donated to Free Republic recently. I probably don't need to give you a glowing report of the site. You would not have donated if it hadn't impressed you with its value.
HOWEVER, I often wonder why donors wait until far into a freepathon before they give. I'm sure there are answers that make sense: I get paid once a quarter, I procrastinate, my dog ate my cash, etc. Those are human responses, so I understand.
BUT, please consider simply giving NOW during this freepathon. Let's put this baby to rest. Let's let our 67 year old site provider breathe easy. Let's make a statement to the 'watchers'. The bottom line: let's just get it done.
So, you gave in the past, you're probably giving again, don't wait. Do it now.
Thanks for listening.
(PS: Do it now!)
need to check my monthly cc donation, too. thanks!
It happened to me, too - twice! First time my credit card expired and I caught it reviewing my monthly statement. The second time was after I had the card cancelled (thank you Home Depot hacker!) and there was a mistake made when entering in the card number.
Jim, Xzins spoke the truth! Pledge in route!
Awesome, n-t-I!
Join the tag-a-thon, too, if you want: change your tagline to some message to support the freep-a-thon until we go over the top!
Admirable suggestion Xzins ....
Thank you very much, no-to-illegals!!
Welcome ... Jim. If only could do more ....
I suspect if all donors changed their taglines the support would be advertising and would significantly influence lots of others....thousands maybe.
Thank You Xzins for the superior wisdom you’ve shown. My appreciation!
Thank you for your kind words.
Yeah! I was looking for you....lol.
You are such a treasure. I will be giving soon.
I hope that you aren’t too disappointed in me for supporting Walker.
You KNOW 100 percent that if Cruz gets the nomination, he gets my general vote. Please believe that.
Again, you mean so much to me and I feel so privileged to be part of Free Republic and meet such wonderful people like yourself.
God Bless,
Bob
That’s great!
Steal it if you want to. LOL!
Thanks, Luv.
Hey, gal! See ya in about 6 weeks, right? (((hugs)))
I don’t think so.Not this time.
I’m too overwhelmed right now, trying to get my huge house on the market and I have “two almost adult” grandchildren living with me, who are acting like hateful teenagers to one another.
I’m sad about it. I will miss you all and I love that place!
*sigh*
