Free Republic is currently delivering over 1.2 million pageviews to over 230,000 visitors per day. That's 40 million pageviews to 7 million visitors per month or 120 million pageviews per quarter, 480 million pageviews per year. We currently have over 340,000 registered screen names on FR. Out of these millions of visits, hundreds of millions of pageviews, hundreds of thousands of registered FReepers and hundreds of thousands of regular lurkers only a relatively FEW actually donate the funds to keep FR alive.
Now I'm not complaining, because we've always managed to meet our fundraising goals in the past, but it is taking longer and longer to accomplish the task. And part of that may be because it's mostly the same few dedicated FReepers providing the funds, and, along with the rest of us, I'm sure they're stretched to the limit. Sure would be nice if a few more FReepers and lurkers would lend a hand and send in a few bucks. Doesn't take much. I think our average donation is around $20, but you can send in $5, $10, $20, $30 or more, and make it a monthly contribution if you can.
A relatively few good FReepers is all it takes to keep FR on the air so that hundreds of thousands of us can join together in kicking liberal butt and continue the fight for our freedom!!
For example, 1,500 dedicated FReepers and lurkers donating an average of $20 each per month is all it takes to continue delivering these hundreds of millions of propaganda-fighting, pro-liberty pages to tens of millions of readers every year. How many concerned citizens and potential voters can we reach for a tiny fraction of a cent per page? FR delivers a BIG bang for the buck!!
Thank you for providing the bang AND the buck!!

I am wondering, since FR takes in over a million a year from donations, is it possible we can get an “edit” button for our posts? Or avatars? Or live feeds? Or for that matter..*any* upgrades to the site that might make it seem like 2009 code and not 1998?
How much do we have to donate to subscribe? What do subscribers get over non-subscribers?

Just as I gave to Scott Brown's this week (and I'm from Pa.), I note that we all need to give what we can, when we can, where we can make the most difference.
Without FR a hugh, influential voice would be silenced.

P.S. How do I change the monthly amount?
I’m already a monthly donor. Do I need to re-pledge in each successive Freep-a-thon, or does my donation just automatically roll into the total every time?
My dearest Jim,
Please add me back into the Dollar A Day Club. I had been waiting to see the damage obama-care would inflict on my monthly insurance bill, but after today’s blatantly unconstitutional backroom deal that exempts UNION Cadillac policies from taxes until 2017, but taxes all other so-called Cadillac policies, DrO and I decided that we will not pay the tax come what will.
Rebellion is brewing! Thanks for Free Republic. It’s super to be back here with you.
