Wow !!
I discovered FreeRepublic through a Drudge Link in 1998. I lurked for a few years and finally signed up. I've been a monthly donor now for a couple of years.
Since then I cancelled my subscriptions to Time, Newsweek, US News and World Report and a few others.
The news I get from this site is better, quicker, and more comprehensive than the other sources.
My monthly donation has saved me money and I feel I receive more for my $$$$$.
Please donate..............and do it now.
I adore your butterfly photos.
