Happy New Year, everyone!! Goodbye 2010, hello 2011, and welcome to the start of the 2012 presidential sweepstakes!!

And we have a lot at stake this election cycle. Namely, our freedom and our very right to exist as a constitutional free Republic!! The Marxist left is now making noises that our constitution is outdated, written in an ancient language that is too hard to understand, and is unnecessary. They want no restrictions on government power whatsoever and believe that there ARE no restrictions on government power whatsoever.

Proof of that is the ramrodding through of the unconstitutional Marxist ObamaCare system and his current scheme of "ruling" the country through his unaccountable czars and unelected regulatory bodies and not having to worry about the congress to pass HIS laws.

This must NOT be allowed to stand!! This would be a total overthrow of our constitutional Republic and everything it stands for!!

Consider the next two years as the battle for continued American freedom vs a complete Marxist takeover of our beloved country!!

Free Republic is needed now more than ever!! I'm hoping that we can continue building on our strengths, that we can focus on fighting to get constitutional conservatives elected, that we can do all we can to thwart Obama's Marxist takeover attempts, and that we can continue building our relationships with the various Tea Party groups and others to rally support for our constitutional conservative causes all across the fruited plain!!

God bless and thank you all very much for your continued support and for making Free Republic the premier God and Country constitutional conservative site on the Internet!!

God bless America!! May she always be free as God intended!!

Jim, do we need newer equipment to handle over loads like yesterday? We have gotten spoiled and depend on FR for ‘real’ news.

It’s been a few years since we had a special FReepathon for a system upgrade.

Or maybe some basic rules like searching to see if it has already been posted so we don’t have multiple threads of the same news article, and no photo/graphic posting during these high usage events?

We know we have shut down congressional and WH websites ourselves by over loading them.

Actually, the servers were under a light load yesterday. The CPUs were idle much of the time. We thought the error was in our database system and spent a lot of time troubleshooting there. The last thing John told me last night as we were leaving for dinner was that he was going to check out our server caching system. When I got back the system was back up to full speed, so I assume he found the problem. Haven’t heard from him yet today.

Wanted:
A Few Good FReepers!


What do I mean by "A few good FReepers wanted?"

Well, we are 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 330,000 registered screen names on FR. Out of these millions of visits, hundreds of millions of pageviews and 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 hundreds of thousands of us can join together in kicking liberal butt and fighting 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!!

If you enjoy posting and or reading FR and have never donated before, please consider doing so today. You can donate by secure server by clicking the link above or send your checks or money orders to:

Free Republic, LLC
PO Box 9771
Fresno, CA 93794

Thank you all very much for your continuing participation and support!!
