There's good reason for Jim keeping Free Republic fiercely independent and self reliant. We needn't look any farther than our Canadian neighbor and sister site, FREE DOMINION , which was shut down after a libel ruling! Don't think for a minute that Free Republic isn't in the cross hairs of the current regime's over lords, so perish the thought that Free Republic will ever want to entertain the likes, needs and wants of advertisers, corporate sponsors, sugar daddies or political parties. We're not beholden to any outsiders and plan to keep it this way, with your help!
If you like and want to keep Free Republic, then it's up to you and that means All of Us to Keep Free Republic Alive, with our freely given Donations.
I know money is tight. I know the Marxist's economy sux, and I think it's getting worse, not better. DrO and I live on a fixed income, so we have to make every dollar count. Even on that, Free Republic means so much to me, that I Donate Monthly and also manage to add enough every FReepathon to qualify for the 300 Club. I fully realize and understand that not all of you here can match my donations, just like I can't possibly match the very, generous, and very, very generous donations of so many of y'all, but please give whatever amount each of you possibly can without harming your own family and household. Family always comes first and I hope and trust that all of you know that Jim wouldn't have it any other way!
Every donation counts, no matter the amount! $5, $10, $20, $25, $50, $100 or more --- and please know that ALL Donations are truly and greatly appreciated.
We always have a New Monthly Donor Campaign and our current NMD Campaign is well underway with 16 New Monthly Donors including 1 New $1-A-Day Donor! This Quarter, our four very generous FReeper Sponsors are Tijeras_Slim, upchuck, somebody & Owen Kellogg and they are kicking in $10 for every New Monthly Donor, so PLEASE consider signing up to DONATE MONTHLY if you possibly and reliably can.
If you Send in or Donate $100. or more per Quarter please join our growing list of 300 Club Patriots, which was started by FReeper I_be_tc, when she donated $100 and then challenged 300 others to do the same. We have received 80 Donations of $100. or more so far this Quarter. If we could get 300 FReepers to contribute $100 per quarter, these FReepathons would complete much faster.

NEVER GIVE UP & NEVER GIVE IN!
Remember Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego Didn't Bend, Didn't Bow and Didn't Burn! (Read Daniel 3)
We are the Sovereigns and the Resistance.
Our tasks ahead are never greater than the power right behind us, when that power is God Almighty!
Stay steadfast and keep praying.
On behalf of Jim and his awesome FReepathon Team,
"Thank you so much for your continued loyal support!"
God bless and keep you all and everyone you love.

(Russell) Wilson told a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter about how faith helped him deal with the death of his father, Harrison Wilson III in 2010, who had been suffering from diabetes and several strokes.
The date was June 9, the day after Russell Wilson was drafted by the (Major League Baseball team, the Colorado) Rockies. He went to share the news with his father.
"My grandmother and I went there and we started praying," Russell Wilson said. "He was non-responsive."
Undaunted, Russell Wilson told his father about being drafted by the Rockies. He eventually stepped out into the hallway, along with his grandmother and mother.
Mother and son stepped aside and started talking privately, for about 15 minutes.
Russell Wilson finished the story:
"We were just standing there and all of a sudden it clicked," he said. "The Holy Spirit was telling us to go in there. So we went in the room and - this is the crazy part.
"I walked in and I could see the (EKG) monitor. As soon as I walked in the door I said: 'Hey, Dad, I'm here.'
"As soon as I said that, the line went flat. That's how I knew the Lord is real. I knew my dad heard me and he could hear everything I was telling him about how I got drafted. He was waiting for something great to happen.
"That's how I knew he went in peace. He is here watching me right now."
The faith and football of Russell Wilson
For me generally it had always been the big four: faith, family, friends, and football. . . . as important as football is to me, it can never be higher than fourth. My faith has been number one since I was thirteen years old . . .
Some players get more vocal about it . . . and some point to Heaven after scoring a touchdown and praise God after games. I have no problem with that. But I dont do it, and dont think it makes me any less a Christian. I just want my actions to speak louder, and I dont want to be more of a target for criticism . . .
My faith doesnt make me perfect, it makes me forgiven, and provides me the assurance I looked for half my life ago. . .
Ive been blessedhaving so little go wrong in my life, and being given so much. I pray every night, sometimes long prayers about a lot of things and a lot of people, but I dont talk about it or brag about it because thats between God and me, and Im no better than anybody else in Gods sight.
But I consider myself fortunate to be able to go to Him for guidance, and I hope (and pray) I dont do too many things that displease Him. . . . I believe, too, that life is much better and freer when youre committed to God in that way.
