I won’t say who. But I saw the name of a FReeper who has died.

What are you doing, Jim? Collecting from the afterlife?

Hey - if dead democrats can vote, then why can’t deceased FReepers give to the FReepathon?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh Yooooooooo Hoooooooo!!!!!!

[GitmoSailor]

I saw a lady at the supermarket today.

[rabscuttle385]

I love FR.

Bump to the thread!

[TexasCajun]

Donors listed have chosen to do so voluntarily. By default, contributions will be unlisted.

PLs change my donation to 'listed' so my buddies won't think I'm a bum.

[Kimmers]

When someone asked where I get most of my news from and I realized it was FR , I thought it was about time to donate to this worthy cause.....

[illiac]

Cmon everyone! Join the monthly list......

[MinuteGal]

John Edwards won't be contributing to FR, either.

With his political career in the tank, his own mansion might be a destination on his next "poverty tour".

Things to do list:
FR DONATION - COMPLETED

Well, now I can say that I got something done today!

If you are one of the Freepers who is so upset with the choice of McCain that you are going to hold your nose and vote for him anyway, but you refuse to donate to his campaign - SEND THAT $ TO FREE REPUBLIC INSTEAD! That way you are certain to be advancing the cause of Conservatism!

[DoughtyOne]

Where are all our buds from other states who think California should be cut loose? I would think all those ‘Conservative States’ could make California Conservatives look bad when it comes to donations.

Come on folks, don’t let California’s finest outdo your finest. Show us what you’re made of.

...dancin’ a Conservative California donation jig...

...at your expense...

Yikes, does the image in #49 mean no one from New Mexico gave?

What Fiddlstix always says: click the pic.

I just heard from Fiddlstix, who is usually always here bumping the Freepathon thread. Fiddlstix said he is fine and that his area had missed most of the winds and damage from the hurricane.

However, the hurricane had made a sudden turn towards Fiddlstix's location and that was all it took to play havoc with Fiddlstix's ISP connection. Fiddlstix will be back as soon as he can.

So in the meantime, how's about a bump for Fiddlstix and his ISP. Thank you. :-)
