Dear FReepers, We need your help to keep the lights on. [FReepathon XXX]

FR is funded solely by contributions made by the liberty loving patriots who enjoy and use it.

We do not rely on corporate sponsors or well-heeled individuals to provide funds, because we do not want them trying to influence our direction.

We do not rely on advertisers, corporate sponsors, affiliates or partners because they come with strings attached. Look how they're punishing Trump.

We are beholden to no political party. No advertisers, no outsiders, no sugar daddies, no corporate string pullers.

We are noncommercial, but not a 501c non profit. We do not use tax subsidies and do not want the IRS trying to control what we say or do. Look what they did to the Scouts and what they're getting ready to do to our churches.

This means no commercial ads. No annoying pop-ups. No ad tracking. No mail campaigns. No spam. No one trying to control us.

We are pretty unique here. We have our own home grown and maintained server and software systems and depend on no outsiders.

We are self-funded, fiercely independent and enjoy our freedom to speak plainly in the support of God, family, country, liberty!!

We are upfront and unabashedly pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-marriage, pro-gun, pro-borders, pro-liberty, pro-constitution, pro-America, pro-defense and quite likely the oldest and largest self-funded patriotic, pro-life conservative organization on the Internet.

We have been blessed with a loyal group of freedom-loving participants and loyal donors. Even when times are tough, our FReepers always come through for us. It sometimes takes a little longer to reach it, but during the nineteen years of our history, we've never missed reaching our goal.

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!! Every day that the America-hating traitors Obama, Kerry & Co. remain in office (aided and abetted by the GOP-e quislings) we face yet another day of constitutional violations, treason and tyranny!!

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 have 31 new monthlies so far 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 92 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.

Please get your donations in early so we can wrap this baby up within the next few weeks.
