Howdy everyone!
Are you ready for a FReepathon?
Well, the elections are right around the corner. We've got thirty days left to counter the propaganda and lies of the left. They're doing their utmost to inflict maximum damage on the administration and the Republican congress, thereby hoping to increase their chances of taking control of the House and or Senate. They must be blocked. A Democrat controlled congress would be a disaster for our country and our conservative causes. We must return a Republican controlled congress to the president so he can continue on to victory over the terrorists and continue remaking the judiciary, etc. The damage a Democrat controlled congress could do to our country right now is almost too frightening to comprehend.
God Bless President Bush and our troops! We pray that victory over the evil doers will come soon.
On the homefront, I'm sorry to say we still do not have a resolution to our problem with the Commonwealth of Virginia. We've hired a lawyer in Virginia and he's working on it, and hopes to have it resolved soon, but in the meantime we've been advised not to accept donations from Virginia until it's all worked out. If you reside in Virginia, please hold your donation until we're given the greenlight.
Also, we've lost a lot of monthly donations recently. The primary reasons for monthlies dropping off are expiring credit cards and address mismatches. If you have a monthly and the expiration date on your credit card has passed, you must update your donor record with the new date or your monthly will stop. The same thing if your address changes. The address on your donation record must match the address associated with your credit card account or your donation will be rejected by the bank.
If you are a monthly donor by credit card and you are not seeing a charge from FR on your monthly statement, please submit a new monthly or contact me to update your current record.
And finally, we have a very limited supply of FR's 10th Anniversary Commemorative ballcaps and t-shirts left (14 ballcaps and 12 t-shirts). These will be given away while supplies last to long term Freepers with a '97 or '98 sign up date. If you are a Class of '97 or '98 FReeper and would like to receive a 10th Anniversary Commemorative ballcap or t-shirt, please contact me by FReepmail.
Thank you all very much and wishing you the best of luck on the elections in your state!!
FRegards,
Jim Robinson
Please don't include me in your mass ping/spam list. Thank you very much.
They have a state law regulating charities and want to regulate us. We are not a charity and have no physical presence in Virginia and feel the law does not apply to us. They say it does.So then, if you are not a charitable organization, are you a "for profit?" I have no problem whether you are a profit or otherwise, because people are free to give and receive. Just confused about the status of FR.
We are an LLC organized and paying taxes to the feds and the State of California. We are not a registered non-profit.
