The historic Friday, November 22, 1963, fifty years ago today.
Dearest FReepers, FRiends & Readers!
Some of us are old enough to vividly remember that history changing Friday 50 years ago, and it would be remiss of me to not acknowledge it on this thread. Like one graphic states, we have gone from "Camelot" to "Scamalot," but it's actually much, much worse than that. Just yesterday, Harry Reid and all but three demonic-rats and traitor Murkowski, cast their evil votes and blew away 225 years of U.S. Senate tradition by ending the filibuster on judicial nominees, however temporary they so claim.
And what was Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's response, aside from giving Reid unanimous consent on his next motion? "The Tea Party's ‘nothing but a bunch of bullies' and 'You punch them in the nose and that’s what we’re going to do.’”
(Way to go, Mitch, you, GOP-E worthless, entrenched IDIOT).
As you ALL know, this our Final FReepathon of the Year! The push is on to complete this one before Thanksgiving so all of us can celebrate Thanksgiving with our families and/or friends. We're all mindful that Thanksgiving is one week from today ... next Thursday.
It's also important to try our very best to complete this FReepathon for Jim's sake. He's been through more than most, if not all, of us can actually imagine, but his recovery is coming along almost miraculously! As I'm writing this, Jim is meeting with his Physical Therapist, working to strengthen his shoulders, arms and hands. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers for Jim.
If You haven't yet made Your Donation, PLEASE make it today, or just as soon as possible, and please don't wait for the same loyal FReepers to carry the load. $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 or more, it all helps keep FR alive, and is always sincerely, truly and greatly appreciated!! We're never really FReepers until we support our fabulous forum, and I know this for a fact, from my own experience!
We're now less than $8.5k from meeting FR's financial needs. As you all likely know, ALL donations are for THIS Quarter's expenses. It's not like FR has a fat bank account. Free Republic is solely dependent upon donations from people who love and use it. Like Jim says, "We sell no advertising or merchandise. We have no corporate sponsors or sugar daddies and accept no government subsidies. This means no annoying commercial ads, no ad tracking, and no pop ups!! And no outside influences trying to pressure, sway or control us. It’s just us freedom-loving grassroots conservatives exercising our first amendment rights by using and funding one of our favorite and most useful news and activism organizations."
Our New Monthly Donor Campaign just went into Round #6! Woo-Hoo! FIFTY ( 50 ) FReepers have signed up to Donate Monthly and Twelve ( 12 ) FReepers are New $1-A-Day & More Donors!!!
Donating Monthly is an Ideal way to Reliably Support Free Republic, so if you're able, please consider Donating Monthly. We have some very generous FReeper Sponsors who are kicking-in $10.00 for every New Monthly Donor!!!
And, we now have 171 Donations this quarter of $100 or more!! FReeper I_be_tc donates $100 per quarter and challenges 300 other FReepers to do the same. If you donate $100 or more per quarter, please let Jim know, so we can add your name to the “300 Club Roster!” If we can get 300 members sending in a $100 or more per quarter, our fundraisers will run much faster!

Today's Fabulous Graphic by RedMDer!
Had a feeling it was the full-blown Photoshop. I didn’t know that is in 99% of banners.
I love what you do with it.
Ok. You owe me a new keyboard. 2nd donation in the spirit of that freeloader on that one thread. Thanks Onyx for the laugh. BTTT.
LOL. Oh, that “any lame excuse, blame you,” guy. Sheeeesh.
I tried my level best to be nice to him and simultaneously shame his idiot argument.
Epic fail on my part.
:)
Nah. You did great. I appreciate all the hard work you do here. BTTT.
Aw, well thanks so much, but I was taken aback when I was pinged to the thread and then stunned to read that you were the blame! I mean, you, of all people...LOL. Too bizarre and unreal for me!
All yours :)
I have to go to the grocery store in the morning. I’ll copy through view source, but I’m going to bed very soon. Too cold here to stay up late ...!
