(Become a monthly donor!! It's easy!)
To: Jim Robinson
I would like to proudly announce that I, SamAdams76, have not made a single donation to a Free Republic fundraiser in years. In fact, I have for the most part, cheerfully ignored them.
Any why, some might ask, am I proud of that fact? It's because I made the decision several years ago to become a monthly donator. So when I say I have cheerfully ignored fundraiser threads in the past, I do so with the knowledge that I give Free Republic the "gift that keeps on giving."
Yes, like a "jelly-of-the-month" club, Free Republic gets a gift month after month. And unlike jelly, my gifts are low-carb and they don't make a sticky mess when they are dropped. My gift is cold, hard cash. Which can be immediately put to use fighting the enemies of Mom, apple pie and the United States of America.
And here's the best part of all. My monthly gift to Free Republic does not involve writing checks, sealing envelopes and licking stamps. I don't even have to go to the mailbox. No! I simply set up an account with my debit card that automatically takes the money out of my checking account month after month. And the beauty of it is that I don't give anymore than I can afford. I can make the monthly payment $5, $10 or $20. Or $17.76 if I want to get fancy about it. It doesn't matter. And no amount is too small. And I can change the amount whenever I want. Or even cancel it outright if the moderators pull my next post about naked lesbian mud-wrestlers who happen to be conservatives. (Just kidding, just kidding - those naked lesbian mud-wrestlers weren't conservative at all!)
When I first signed up to be a monthly donor, I didn't even have to give up any money. All I did was cancel HBO to free up $20 a month. Later I cancelled my subscription to the Boston Globe and upped my monthly donation even more. So while I'd love to sit here and be hailed as a Free Republic "hero" for being such a generous donor to the cause, the fact is that I really didn't have to make any sacrifices at all. All I did was take money I was already spending and simply diverted it to a more conservative cause. And I can tell you that I don't miss HBO or the Boston Globe at all. If I want to see the Sopranos, why I'll just rent the DVDs. If I want to read liberal rubbish such as that which is printed in the Boston Globe, why I'll just head on over to that evil-website-that-shall-not-be-named.
So bottom line is this. I am a monthly donor so I am not giving a penny to this fundraiser. I urge other Free Republic users to become monthly donors as well so that they do not have to give to these fundraisers. Hell, if enough of us sign up to be monthly donors, then we won't need to have these fundraisers at all. Even if most of us regulars here gave just $5 a month, we'd likely have enough revenues to keep this site running without the fundraisers.
Thank you and good day.
