I donated last week, but should donate again.
Over 17 years a FReeper. Am retired, but may need to step up more.
God Bless Free Republic.
Wow.
Who knew so few supported so many!
Come on freepers, do a monthly for a couple of dollars a month.
Freerepublic saves the greatest Constitutional Republic in the world!
I will continue to donate and bitch about the FREE LOADERS, that are jumping in the wagon, waiting for a few of us to pull the load.
Posting should be a privilege of membership. Rarely does a non contributor post a comment or an article worth consideration. Reading should be free. Posting not so much.
Honest to God, if my pitifully fixed income can manage a monthly, as meager as it is, almost anyone can.
Tho FR has its occasional glitches, they only serve to remind me of the gist of the old quote attributed to Churchill:
It's not perfect, but it beats hell out of all the others.
This interminable fundraising of late also serves to remind me, sadly, of something else:
Freeloading is, apparently, not the exclusive province of the seditious left :-\
BUMP!

Thank you very much onyx for putting this out here for all to see and ponder.
Considering the number of people that count on Free Republic to stay informed, it's mind blowing to think that not enough are contributing to keep these FReepathons from stretching out endlessly.
I implore all our FRiends to make it a priority to contribute as generously as possible, and to take the painless route of setting up automatic monthly donations.
Sell ads to raise funds
There is no way that they would compromise the integrity of FR. There should be lots of conservative businesses who would jump at the chance to advertise in FR.
Just my two cents worth.
Thank you my dear FRiend for this thread and the stats you brought up, it’s an eyeopener.
Nowhere that I know of can a person go to a site and get the news, converse with conservatives and enjoy the insight that so many are willing to put out there.
Free Republic is easy to use so it’s simple to join in the discussions and exchange ones thoughts.
God bless you FReepathon team members, you do an excellent service for the thousands that use this site.
Finally something we can blame on the Freemasons. Jacques DeMolay was arrested on Friday the 13th by the French king in conjunction with Pope Clement V. The king wanted the gold stored in Templar vaults for pilgrims journeying to Jerusalem. The Pope was under pressure because the Templar’s fighting forces were well tested against pirates and highwaymen (mostly Muslim) and Europe’s kings feared their military prowess.
DeMolay was tortured for months before being publicly burned at the stake. His parting words were a curse upon the King and the Pope. Within months the Pope died, and the king succumbed to a mysterious ailment. Hence the curse of Friday the 13th is known to this day.
I wouldn’t sell ads. But, maybe T-shirts and covfefe mugs...
