Monthly Challenge/Freeper Convention Ticket Drawing!

More Monthlies Needed!!

If we had enough monthlies to cover our costs we wouldn't even need to hold FReepathons or, in the very least, they'd run a lot faster. If you are a regular donor to Free Republic, please consider starting a monthly. Your donations will be processed automatically by our program or through PayPal.

If you are not a regular donor to Free Republic but find our website fun, useful and informative, please consider becoming a regular donor. Start a monthly if you can.

And if you start your monthly this month (or increase your current monthly) please let me know by FReepmail and we'll include your name in a drawing to be held at the end of the month for TWO tickets to our National Convention in Washington, D.C. on Sept 11 through 13.

We now have SIX new or increased monthlies in the drawing for August and would like to add YOUR name. If your name is drawn, you can use the tickets yourself or give them away to others.

Woo hoo!! Hope to see you in DC!!

Well, that worked out so great I think we should do it again!

All new monthlies or increased monthlies (let me know by freepmail) signing up during the month of August will be entered into a drawing for TWO National FReeper Convention tickets. If your name is drawn, you can use the tickets yourself or you can give them away to other FReepers!

Good luck everyone!!
