5% Carry 60% of Fed Income Tax; 5% Carry 100% of Free Republic Expense
Vanity ^ | 26 May 14 | Xzins

Free Republic gets about 40,000 unique hits a day. Going to the state donor numbers, we get about 2300 donors. That is about a 5.5% rate of readers to donors.

My testimony is that Free Republic is the best website on the internet. Notice that I didn't say, "the best conservative, small government, pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Gun, etc." website. That is true, but Free Republic is more.

I just had a near real time discussion with a FRiend on freepmail.

I've had zero pop-ups, ads, thefts, etc. since 1998. It was all discussion all the time. Where else do you get that? I’ve used my credit card in our secure system also since 1998 and I’ve never had a problem. Target, Michaels, and Neiman Marcus should be so good.

This is the best discussion software ever created. Bar none. I can track every comment I've made, every response to it, and I can reply and reply again and again and again. All of that without the dreaded outline gradually indenting until all that remains is the right side of the screen page.

There are links back to previous comments, there are links that bring up all responses to a comment.

It amazes me how much like a conversation Free Republic is.

AND, we have a moderator staff dedicated both to free expression AND to maintaining the conservative identity of Free Republic and to banging heads when necessary. They get their marching orders from our main man, Big Jim Thompson, who, with his brother Matt Dillon, keeps the riffraff liberal troll deadbeats away from our town.

So, if you're part of the 94%, then Mitt Romney was talking about you. It got him in trouble.

It'll probably get me in trouble.

Brother, can you spare even a dime?

It's good to review on occasion what we have in Free Republic, a site where conservatives can discuss, plan, dream, explain, without liberal trollish disruption designed to prevent all of those things. We have a site where God is welcome, where life is valued, where members are FRiends, and where the dream of a free, independent, strong America is cherished.

If some have not yet donated, they should read through this thread and be inspired again by the testimonies of those who talk about what this site provides for conservatives.

Many have already donated, but we need more warriors to fight for this site to continue. All should invite their FRiends to join in and not be shy about inviting.

You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.

You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.

Which is why I make my small contribution every month (automatically charged to my American Express Card).

I encourage everyone who haven't already done so to do the same.

God Bless FR!

Ping your FRiends, RR, and encourage them to remember Free Republic. Your health any better?

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER" and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God."

Thomas Paine

All my friends are contributors (I think).

BTW, I am often not listed among the monthly contributors...but when I contact Jim, he puts me on for a while (his hands are full).

Like all of us who love FR, we are not looking for recognition...I never check to see if I am on the list nor do I care.

Keep up the great work, Jim! We love you!

‘You have inspired born and bred briars to give with generosity and you have baited volunteers to try and keep up.

Anything to say to the tar heels, buckeyes, or mountaineers?’
I tried to insult the women of all three states but nobody picked up on it. So I will try again.
The tar heels most beloved coach, Dean Smith, was the only man ever able to hold Micheal Jordan to single digits.
Buckeyes are transplanted Kentuckians who when they crossed the Ohio river thought their IQ went up 30 points. It didn’t.
Mountaineers I personally like, good salt of the earth types. If I had been able to find a W.Va. woman with teeth I probably would have married her.
All the folks in all three states are jealous because they aint Kentuckians.
After looking at the amounts given by Ohio and N. Carolina I might have poked the wrong hornets nests. Thank God for W. Virginia.

It’s hard to argue with a Kentuckian when the Cincinnati airport isn’t even in Ohio.

There’s a football issue, though. We’re pretty sure Moeller High School can take the UK Wildcats.

Hey...how about parting with a little coin here?

The truth cannot be spread without FR.

Jim could take FR public and make a billion...yet he and John keep it private and free of sugar-daddy influence.

We owe Jim and John at least our tiny support for their devotion to free speech and our Free Republic.

God Bless FR and Jim and John.

And God Bless America!

FR makes Huffpo look like a poster board.

Jim and John have made a great sacrifice.
