Free Republic

A challenge out to Texas FReepers: Let’s beat those California FReepers! A little friendly competition so-to-speak. Texas does everything bigger and better. California has 83 monthly donors for a total of $1,303.56. Texas has 67 monthly donors for a total of $1,157.00 Come on TX FReepers, you can do it! We only need 15 TX FReepers to commit to $10.00 a month to take the lead. I know you’re out there. We have the second highest membership rate. Show FR some more love.

Over the last seven days FReepers have helped raise a good sum of money for the FReepathon.   I know it is greatly appreciated, but we still have quite a ways to go.  I thought I might make it a little more interesting by launching a FReepathon Callenge.  Like a lot of you, I have already made a donation for this FReepathon, but I'm willing to up that donation in the interest of getting this FReepathon over in the quickest amount of time. At this time I would like to announce the DoughtyOne FReepathon Challenge. There are two ways for...

Woo hoo!! Getting close to one third!! Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!!

Are you ready for a FReepathon?! Wow! October already! It seems the primary season dragged on forever, but now the elections are upon us. Less than five weeks left to campaign. Can McCain-Palin pull it off or are we going to be stuck with the Marxist Barak Hussein Obama? God help us all. And how about this financial mess? Hoo boy! The Democrats Carter and Clinton push their socialist Community Reinvestment Act "to encourage depository institutions to help meet the credit needs of the (poor and minority) communities they serve" and when it gets out of control and comes back...

This is pure vanity, and bribery at that. Laz is important to this site. He's rude, he's crude, he's sometimes lewd. The mods can always ban him again. They surely will. But free Laz for now and I'm in for another twenty bucks. Who's with me?

It is easy to become a monthly donor and Jim needs all of our support. It is painless and a way to keep FR on its' feet. Please join me and thousands of other freepers who are monthly donors. It helps all of us in the long run that we have a conservative forum like this. Thanks to Jim - lets help him keep up the good work!

This thread is for the purpose of discussion regarding fundraising efforts. Free Republic is sustained by voluntary contributions. There is no paid advertising and, hence, no pop up or banner ads. We all know, and hopefully, appreciate this. We all also know of the quarterly fund raising campaign, a.k.a. the Freepathon. Love ‘em or hate ‘em - this is how a great deal of the money is obtained to pay expenses. Some of us know of the monthly donor option. We can elect to have an automatic deduction made from a credit card account. There have been some private discussions...

Hey everybody. If we all just ponied up another $5 we would be over the top. going to paypal to give mine right now

"21 posted on Friday, July 25, 2008 4:53:45 PM by dutchess Will issue a freeper challenge. In addition to my monthly will donate an additional $10.00 for every freeper pet picture posted. (One pet per freeper...fair is fair :o) ) Deadline, 24 hours from now. Am doing this in memory of Rusty....our beloved Ridgeback we found on FR 4 years ago....a California freeper neighbor of the dog put out an appeal on FR to rescue him from a LA shelter. He was the most expensive "pound puppy" one could have...shipping him to Ohio...having to fence in the yard...he had a...

NOTICE!!! BARACK "WHO'S SANE" OBAMA WILL NOT BE DONATING TO THE FREEPATHON Thank you, Lady Jag!

Free Republic is an independent user driven conservative forum funded solely by your donations. We are not affiliated with any political party, campaign, news agency, corporation, or anyone else. There are no stockholders, advertisers, creditors, sugar daddies or string pullers. Thank you very much for making FR the number one conservative site on the net and for your continuing support! Jim

The scoreboard pegs us at approx one-third, but when you account for the monthlies we're actually over halfway and well on the way to two-thirds!! Way to go FReepers and Lurkers!! Thank you all very much!!

1. The Wash Post has attacked Free Republic several times recently. That is all the evidence of Free Republic's impact on presidential elections that I need. 2. The Swift Boat heroes of Vietnam stood up against John Kerry's war-hero lies, and decimated him with the truth. The Wash Post knows that. 3. Dan Rather's attempt to steal the election in 2004 with his forgeries about George Bush was destroyed by Free Republic. The Wash Post knows that. (And CBS might have a clue by now.) 4. The Florida vote debacle in 2000 with the democrats attempting to steal the election...

$10, 20, 50, 100 sure doesn't sound like much, but when you get a couple thousand FReepers sending it in, it adds up. Enough to pay the bills and keep Free Republic ON THE AIR--and kicking liberal butt!!

Your donation keeps Free Republic on the air. $10, 20, 50, 100 is not much individually, but all together it adds up. United we stand, divided we fall. Thank you for your support. James

Happy Independence Day America!! Thank you, Lady Jag

Howdy everyone!! Are you ready for a FReepathon?!! Well, I'm certainly glad to see this day. Glad to be home and glad to be here. I thank you all very much for all the prayers and support you gave while I was in the hospital. Thank God I got outta there with most of my parts still intact!! And just in time to start ramping up for another exciting national election cycle! It'd be more exciting if we had a conservative running, but guess we'll have to do the best we can. I'm not excited about McCain, but we're going...

Hello Folks: It's May 1st and I'd like to ask you for a little help. The current Freepathon started on April 1st. Here we are a month later and the total given or pledged is sputtering toward the finish line. I appreciate everyone's constributions to date. It's impressive that we come together like this to support the forum. Despite the great job that has been done, I still think we can do better. We are still thousands from the goal. I'd like to put a big dent in the amount remaining to be covered. Will some of you please join...

We're down to the last $13k or so in this FReepathon! If you haven't made your donation yet, today would be a great day to do so. Click the secure server link above and let's git 'er done!! Mail-in donors: If you haven't sent in your check yet, please drop it into the mail today. There's still time to get it in for the 'thon. Your checks always make this part of the fundraisers go faster. Your donations are greatly appreciated!!

Calling all monthly donors to Free Republic! We need to recreate the monthly donor list, so I am starting from scratch. If you are a monthly donor and will allow your name to be listed, please either reply on the thread, or send me a FReepmail. I do not need the amount of your donation. I do this to recognize those who have chosen this method to help pay the bills and to encourage others to join. Some choose not to and that is their business and all methods of donation are being true to the conservative principle of taking...

Howdy everyone!! Are you ready for a FReepathon?!! Sorry about the downtime yesterday morning. We had a problem with the database and John ended up having to reload the whole thing. And then, as Murphy would have it, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. But looks like we're up and running again, albeit with some lingering problems. But I'm sure John will get those ironed out soon so he can get back to work on the new features he's getting ready to introduce. Also, sorry about being gone all day yesterday. I was at the VA hospital where...

Proxy Errors. Server Problems. And today is the 1st. Time for a FReepathon.

It's Your Watch. Time's a'wasting, so Cash in the Watch, Lift your Wallet and Fork Over The Cash...and Nobody Gets Hurt. We'll watch... Special Bonus PLUS, if you act now, the Freepathon bar turns green and then vanishes, along with the fundraising photos. Offer limited to new 2008 threads in stock. Do not pull on loose threads. Void where prohibited. Your mileage may vary. This thread made entirely with recycled electrons. Thank you for your support of FreeRepublic. I'm not Jim Robinson but I approved this message.

Howdy everyone!! Happy New Year! Goodbye 2007, hello 2008! The future is finally here and so are the primaries. The good news is that the Republican hopefuls are now falling all over each other trying to claim that they are more conservative and more righteous than thou. Even the RINOs. Some are even claiming to be the next Ronald Reagan, God rest his soul, but there is no Ronald Reagan clone. Never will be. It's refreshing, though, that they all now recognize that a Republican candidate must be a pro life and liberty conservative to get the nomination. Even Giuliani...

Woo hoo!! Open all night!! FR never closes!! Well, it's O'Dark Thirty and I'm still up so we might as well get started early on our FReepathon!! Lots of great things happening. The surge is working. The Iraqi army is trained and starting to take over some of the fighting. Some of our troops will be relieved soon. The Iraqi citizens are growing tired of the Islamic extremists and are starting to kick them out. Things are getting generally better throughout Iraq. FRed Thompson has officially entered the race. The pro-abort, gun grabbing Rudy Giuliani is faltering. The antiwar moonbat...

This has been a great FReepathon!! According to many of our political foes, this was the quarter FR was to go under. Oh, well. Hate to disappoint them, but we're here and in their face! Maybe they'll get us NEXT time!! Thank you all very much for your generous continuing support! It's very much appreciated!! God bless you all!! Now we've got a big job in front of us. The liberals, moderates, RINOs, turncoats and outright traitors within and enemies without are working overtime to destroy our conservative causes, our religious freedoms, our right to free speech, right to assemble,...

Monthly donors help to keep these Freepathons as short as possible. Right now almost half of the monthly budget requirements are met through monthly contributions-- it would be nice to get that up to 60% or even higher. So, I'd like to continue to encourage new monthly donors in ANY AMOUNT by throwing out a challenge. NEW MONTHLY DONOR CHALLENGE! I'm throwing out a challenge-- I'll do a lump sum extra donation of $10 for every NEW MONTHLY DONOR that signs up before midnight Eastern tomorrow (Monday)). # of Monthlies are at 569 for a total of $9,612 at the...

This Australian FReeperette is Browsing the FR News/Activism Forum with her faithful living shopping bag. She's doing the work that American FReepers just can't do, thanks to PETA and the shopping cart-industrial complex. ;^) Make sure she has a Forum for her daily information community needs by making a FReepathon donation now. Click Here to donate, then ping your best "caption kangaroo" to others who will pony up (or 'roo up) a few dollars AU or US to support FR. Thanks. Only you can prevent (or end) FReepathons.
