Hey Everybody! (and Dearest Jim)!


Jim might kill me for this, but I think Free Republic's quandary needs to be openly addressed. It's a given that Free Republic needs your financial support but we also need additional help with our fund raising efforts.

Jim's FReepathon Team, primarily trisham, MEG33, deoetdoctrinae, Salvation & musicman, with daily posts from jazusamo, ButThreeLeftsDo, JustAmy, xzins, caww, 2ndDivisionVet, all work long hours for months at a time. Sweetest MEG33 and I are not young and both us suffer from bad backs, and are not supposed to sit for long periods of time at our computers.

The FReepathon threads are a lot of fun! Finding and posting graphics is also fun. The more the merrier and the hours are not fixed. It becomes a chore when we're short handed and OLD, SORE & LAME like me.

Our FReepathons used to take 30 days, then they scooted into 45 days and finally into the dreaded 8 weeks or 60+ days. Now, unbelievably, we're into 80+ days! Unreal!

Free Republic's quandary is how to remedy the situation?

Have a look at 2018 and 2017...



We are now into 2018's Q3. Only a mere 5 days separated the conclusion of Q2 on June 25, 2018 and the start of Q3 on July 1, 2018. We came that >< close to a never-ending FReepathon!

How to remedy? Too unfair to ask all you wonderful, generous, FReeper-Patriot Donors to dig deep so soon again! Yet, without very prompt donations, those 80+ day FReepathons will continue indefinitely.

2018 Q2 — 546 donors - 86 days

2018 Q1 — 373 donors - 82 days (is 373 correct?)




2017 Q4 — 542 donors - 74 days

2017 Q3 — 520 donors - 84 days

2017 Q2 — 544 donors - 76 days

2017 Q1 — 572 donors - 63 days




All of us love Free Republic. It's our home! It's the first place we come to in the morning and the last place we visit at night. Free Republic is my Home page. Is it yours?



We have lifetime FRiends here. Besties! Many of us have met in person. We cherish one another. Many of us consider one another family!

Free Republic is more than a political forum for conservative, Constitutional patriots who trust in God, love our country and cherish our families and friends. We are the salt of the earth.



Have you noticed Mail-In Donors ROCK?

You can also Donate by clicking the Secure Server Link Above.

Monthly Donations will shorten FReepathons and we have some very generous FReepers kicking in $10.00 for every New Monthly Donor and so far 4 New Monthly Donors have signed up! Please consider Donating Monthly!!

Free Republic's 300 Club is another way to really help shorten FReepathons. IF you send in $100 or more per Quarter, you qualify for membership in the 300 Club. $34.00 Monthly also makes you a 300 Club Member! We have received 37 donations of $100 or more so far this quarter!!




I hope and pray several of you will let Jim know that you will be happy to join Free Republic's FReepathon Team and I hope and pray even more of y'all will be able to help remedy Free Republic's situation.



Something's gotta give!



Thanks very much, everybody.
God bless and keep you all and everyone you hold precious.



On behalf of MEG33, trisham, Salvation, deoetdoctrinae & musicman, I am onyx

Experience taught me a few things.
One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper.
The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know.
And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.

I am a member of the 300 club and I have been for some time. Please understand that it is not bragging. I know that it is by fortune and God's grace I am able to do so, and it is from gratitude that I say this.

At some point, I understood what a gift FR has become. On any given day, someone will post information which solidly debunks the latest fake news put out by a hostile liberal press or cable news show. It is honestly comforting to have a source of unbiased truth.

I would only ask all who post to do please their best to support this forum. There is NOT a better one for conservatives ANYWHERE.

that’s a GREAT idea.

If someone quits this site over 10 bucks a year, they shouldn’t be here anyway.

Too embarrassing to even say what it works out to per day.

300 club member here and getting tired of carrying moochers. What kind of conservative mooches on the back of others’ money?

I could use the extra 35 bucks a month.

Because it would change everything i tell ya!!!

My mortgage, car payment, insurance, groceries, and on and on and on would be SAVED by not giving the 35 a month to FR!!! GLORY HALLELUJAH!!

Or I could skip ONE trip to a diner with the wife and we’re even.

And THAT’S if we only order turkey clubs or burgers with one appetizer.

Perkins has gotten expensive!

But if it came to my Jack Daniels or Free Republic..well then I would have BAD news for Jim :)

So far so good though :)
