This FReepathon is moving especially slowly. I'm hoping more folks start remembering that it costs JimRob money to keep this place running.

Don't ask me have been giving 20.00 us a month for 2 plus years, wish the rest of the free loaders would do the same in other words put their money where their keyboards are at.

[Constitution Day]

Maybe it has something to do with longtime Freepers being called Nazis, pro-death, etc.

Just a guess.

[Raffus]

I give because this site is addicting. I'm not sure why long timers do not.

[Vision]

I've given my amount, but not sure why this drive is taking so long.

[beebuster2000]

you are so right. I dont get it- perhaps the regulars need to double down.

[RushCrush]

Actually I wouldn't be completely against seeing advertising on this site, but only if it was for conservative companies/institutions. And no pop-ups!

C'mon, folks. The number of posters who quit because of the Schiavo threads are totally miniscule, negligible and virtually invisible compared to the tens of thousands of freepers and lurkers who love this forum.

A few passioned opuses don't a mass exodus make.

Someone will always be miffed because of Terri threads, Bush-bashing threads, religion threads, blah blah. When some one comes up with a way to censor all these threads to their liking, please ping me.

I really hope some of these delicate folks aren't using their current vapours as an excuse to not contribute this quarter. But I doubt if any freepers would do such a thing, would they.

Well, I didn't pledge yet, but I will. But remember, the last one went exceptionally fast, so this is a balance I think.

Schiavo, March for Justice, there's a lot going on right now, maybe they are distractions.

[Bush2004]

This Freepathon coincides with calls for donations for March for Justice II.

Whoops! Been busy this week and I haven't taken the time to submit my quarterly pledge. Lame excuse, only takes a minute or two via PayPal. ;)

Hey I noticed you registered the day after 9/11. When I found this place it really helped me keep it together after that day.

[spodefly]

I think the Freepathons just before 'Tax Day' are always kinda slow.

[oceanperch]

In my world $66,000.00 is two years salary. Not measly for me.

I do however agree with you for all the traffic around here if everyone gave a measly monthly donation we would not need to have Freep a thons four times a year.

[Sally'sConcerns]

Being a disabled person and on a limited income, I've continued my monthly 20.00 contribution,

There came a point where I had to avoid FR because of all of the Schiavo threads. There was too much unsubstantiated, wild-eyed rumour being bandied about and when simple, plain facts were presented, those that kept a level head were accused of being a part of the culture of death.

It seemed as if every other thread was about Terri and I had my fill of the "hate Jeb, hate President Bush" for not calling in the cavalry to rescue her. It seemed as if those people who were for limited government intervention such as what happened as during the Elian affair wanted the government to intervene as they did during the Elian affair. I personally thought we were riding a slippery slope if Gov. Bush called in the troops because we sure would be up in arms if the dems did the same thing for one of their pet projects.

I didn't like Terri's parents not being allowed to take care of her. I didn't like the fact we were practicing euthanasia on a non-terminally ill person. I didn't like Mike Schiavo having a fiance and 2 children with his fiance. I didn't like Greer and his continual rulings against Terri. There was a lot I didn't like but I also disliked accusation and rumor mongering against Mike Schiavo being a murderer. There was so much innuendo, name calling and the like that I eventually had to post elsewhere.

If we can get back to our stated roots and quit attacking each other, I'll be glad to continue to contribute as much as I'm able to every month. FR has provided me with so much more than I can ever hope to repay.

Let's get back to doing what we do best and quit attacking posters with different beliefs.

[Jet Jaguar]

10.00 - 15.00 dollars a quarter. Come on folks!!!! Donate.

Give what you can give!

[uglybiker]

I would think the pledge period would only last about a week.

They usually last a week to ten days. Some have gone on for up to two weeks.

This fundraiser has barely gone on for a week.

[Dog Gone]

I'm a member of the dollar a day club. This place is worth more than that to me.
