Click here to contribute to the TeaPartyExpress fund!
And finally, we need help with our DC events and convention expenses. Whether or not you are attending our events in DC, if would like to help someone else attend or help us meet our general event overhead expenses, please consider donating to our Convention Fund. We've already had three FReepers donate the price of a ticket ($175) so others can attend. Thank you FReepers!! Please mail your checks to Free Republic, LLC, PO Box 9771, Fresno, CA, 93794 and include a note or the words "Convention Fund" on the memo line. Or if you'd rather donate via credit card or PayPal, please use our secure server link and just include "Convention Fund" in the comments field so we can break your donation out and report it separately from our FReepathon totals.
Thank you all very much!!
See you in DC!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
