Free Republic doesn't have the financing of some billionaire, hidden in the background. Free Republic is "grass roots" all the way. We're not looking for 10 donors with $10,000 each, but we sure could use 10,000 donors with $10 each. The dollar amount may be the same, but the difference is in how we get there.
WE NEED YOU! Anything you can give is so greatly appreciated. If you can become a monthly donor, that is fabulous. If five dollars is what you can manage, bring it! Your on-going support is crucial, and our thanks to you are immeasurable.
I remember before I became a monthly donor, I’d dread seeing that it was time for another FReepathon. I’d always feel like the guy whose picture gets posted all the time with the caption “ah geeze, not this again”.
The longer it took to reach the fundraising goal, the more irritating they became. I hate that it takes so long to reach the goal and seemingly no sooner than one ends, another begins.
As it turns out, the FReepathons were bothering me so much because I felt guilty for not doing my part to keep Free Republic on line, independent and free.
Go ahead, become a monthly donor. Sure, you’ll still get annoyed when it’s FReepathon time, but it’s a lot easier to take when you can know in your heart that it’s not your fault it’s taking so long to reach the goal.
I’m proud to be a FReeper and I put my money where my mouth is.
Lets increase the donations to shorten the FReepathons and get it done!!
