It's time again to raise the funds necessary to keep Free Republic on the air. And on the air is where we want to be! And on the air is where Dan Rather wants to be, but thanks to some sharp eyed FReepers, HIS air time may soon be ending.
And we can hope that John Kerry's air time will also soon be ending. Thanks to the Swift Boat Vets, with help and support from FRN and the FReepers, we've managed to put a huge hole in Kerry's hopes of winning the Presidency.
It's been a rather exciting quarter for Free Republic -- catching the AP in some outright false reporting, catching Dan Rather passing off forged military documents in cahoots with his Democrat coconspirators in a failed attempt to knockoff a sitting president, and helping the Swiftees get their ads on the air and spreading the word about Kerry's cowardice and treason in Vietnam. Did you know John Kerry served in Vietnam? The only question is who did he serve?
And we're expecting a pretty exciting 4th quarter on FR with the debates, the final four weeks of the campaign, and then the election itself. Free Republic readership is growing like crazy and we've recently doubled the size of our system to handle the increasing demand. We added a fifth server to the system earlier during the quarter and John just spent the weekend up in San Jose installing three more new servers. Free Republic is now running on eight servers! Free Republic is becoming a monster online force!!
We're also planning the Free Republic George W. Bush Inaugural Ball II, to be held in Washington D.C., on January 20, 2005. Will begin running some threads on this during the next couple of weeks, but feel free to chime in on this thread if you plan on attending. You won't want to miss this, I promise you!
Yes, it's going to be an exciting time to be a member of Free Republic. Breaking news and live threads every day on the war, on the debates, on the campaigns and on every important news story impacting all of America and all of the world. Plus the FReeps, rallies, protests, trips, meetings and other opportunities for FReepers to join together in person for fellowship and to promote our causes.
If you are enjoying Free Republic as much as I hope you are and would like to help us remain on the air, please consider clicking the donation link and make a contribution today. We are setting our goal a little higher this quarter. In addition to our regular budgeted expenses, we've purchased quite a bit of equipment, plus we have some taxes to pay. The additional investments and taxes will have just about depleted our cash reserves and we'll need to replenish them if we can.
Thank you very much if you can make a donation and thank you again if you can make it a monthly. Our monthlies are growing and are now over 50% of our regular budgeted expenses! Great job Monthlies!!
Again, looking forward to all the great events that are coming our way in the next few weeks and months!
Thank you all very much for your patriotism and continuing participation and support for Free Republic and our great conservative causes!
God bless you all and God bless America!
Prayers for our troops.
Thank you very much from a happy dollar-a-day hillbilly donor.
Free Republic is priceless, a marvel, and it's an honor to be here.
I hope to see you at some california FR event before you have to go!
Turn that Thank You!! around. JIM !!uoY knahK
You give us a forum for just a little bit of a donation and for that I am grateful!!
RB<><
Always my pleasure!!! May God Bless you and your family.
Perhaps I shall relate weird happenings I have experienced.. sorta a "Donate or I speak about what I have seen!!" deal?
Or would that be extortion?
I hope we have one!
Anywhere!
Land of FR-enchantment? ;)
Or maybe I should learn to play bagpipes..
Think people will pay NOT to hear me play?

BTW, I loved your comments on that
newbie/oldie thread.
The stakes have never been so high for conservatives. As I'm sure some of you know by now we were labeled as "terrorists" by the children of a Democratic party activist simpy because we blew the whistle on him and his unethical and illegal activities.
We here in Oklahoma are engaged in a situation where we have a lot at stake here. As I pointed out in another thread last week. Colorado ranchers excerised their first amendment rights in voicing their objections to policies from the Clinton administration which threatened to undermine their livlihoods. For this their so-called representatvie "Patricia Schorder" took their cattle guards away from them in a legislative manuever.
Could the same thing happen if John Kerry is elected and Brad Carson wins the Senate seat in Oklahoma. What else will happen to the Internet if Kerry wins the Presidency. It's quite possible this web site could end up being shut down and they end up coming after us.
That's why it's so important that this message board remain in service. So that people like you and I will be able to continue to address the issues involving John Kerry and his bid for the presidency>
As I've stated before the stakes are so high for conservatives. If Kerry wins and Democrats take both houses of Congress, we will not like the results.
Conservatives are the economic and social safety nets of many communties across America including mine, so much so that they've come to embody many of those communities. What will happen to those communities if John Kerry wins and Democrats take both houses of Congress?
So do what you can to help keep FR alive. Pledge your financial support or bump this thread. There's just way to much at stake to let this place shut down.
Thanks in advance. Regards
Thank you, Enterprise!
