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.

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.

...."We are the luckiest nation on earth. To have a FLOTUS who looks like she just stepped out of a fairytale story book as the most beautiful princess that ever graced the world"...
My pleasure, Jim!

Thanks for posting this onyx.
I just cancelled my old monthly and put in a new one, upping the monthly by $10. Hope this helps.
I have said it before...FR is invaluable to me. Sometimes there is a lot of negativity, a lot of back-biting, and incivility, all of which I am an occasional participant.
I cannot overstate the personal value I find in Free Republic.
From the time I set up my account and was invited by kristinn down to a Walter Reed Freep where I became friends with the DC Chapter, Free Republic has been a bastion of knowledge, education, and my first stop for news going on 14 years now.
I don’t watch television, and haven’t for several decades now, so every single day I login to FR and see what the current events are. I can get knowledgeable discussion, debate, and many sides of an issue to give me a jump start on any given current event, and I feel I am far better versed in the specifics of current events (and history as well) than nearly anyone I know who watches the alphabet networks or reads the papers as a primary source of their information.
Like any source of information, one has to take it all with a grain of salt. Even here on FR, we have the range of viewpoints stood up by people that run from coldly factual to hilariously inaccurate or conspiratorial. We get them all.
But rational (if not always civil and reasonable) debate from people who inhabit all walks of life, from nearly every imaginable industry, with unlimited personal experiences that can encompass nearly any subject, tends to separate the wheat from the chaff, and the truth rises to the top.
As a method of more closely approximating the truth in nearly anything, comparing the concept of crowdsourcing an issue on a forum like Free Republic (where there is as close to open discourse as can be found anywhere in society today) to the concept of having information packaged and spoon-fed to you from established media sources (like the NYT, CNN, ABC, etc) who are dependent on viewing eyes, and who are dedicated to presenting reality to those eyes as THEY THINK IT SHOULD BE PRESENTED...well, it isn’t even close.
So, thank you for creating and maintaining Free Republic. God Bless You.
Thank you very much, JustAmy!!
