Dear Free Republic friends,
Free Republic seems to be in a constant fund raising mode. We can change this.
During the past several years some of us began pledging our support either monthly or quarterly. To date the monthly pledges have raised dependable income to close to the 50% level. Currently we need only $2000. in pledges to achieve that goal. Our average pledge is $20. monthly. We need 100 FReepers to begin pledging monthly to achieve this milestone. Some pledges are substantially higher. That is a personal decision you must make based on your financial condition and personal commitment.
For me, personally, I do not support very many causes financially. This allows me to make a larger pledge to FR. I donate $100. monthly from my retirement income. This is a sacrificial pledge for me but one I believe represents the most I can do for something to which I am deeply committed.
Most of those who follow my posts have been in the FR community for many years. You are the primary source of support for this site. If you have not yet stepped up your support to a monthly pledge I encourage you to do so during this current FReepathon.
We all live on a razor's edge. This site could disappear forever in an instant. The one sure way we have to keep it alive is with our financial support.
For those who are more recent members of this unique community there is no better time to begin to show your commitment to keep FR alive.
Make your pledge prayerfully and thoughtfully as an expression of your belief in the importance in your life of this remarkable site.
Sincerely,
Lou
This is the last time I will ever reply to you.
You need help.
I agree with be baw. Maybe if your response was readable, we might understand your position.
Relax sir.
Ignore those who fear your passion.
They are there for a reason.
Best to you,
R

I like that! 2 thumbs up!
One would think I swatted a hornet’s nest. Perhaps I did.
I used to donate all of the time.
Get rid of Humblegunner and I’ll donate again.
No, I don't think so. Monthlies are a good idea. The math works out. I have no idea what the deleted comments were but am curious. MY IDEA for a fund raiser is for FR to collect all of the monthly deleted comments and auction them off to the highest bidder with the stipulation you do not repost it in any way shape or form anywhere.
No, no, no. We need HG. He's like hops in beer. Hops gives beer a slightly bitter taste but it acts like a preservative. It's an acquired taste. After a while you work your way up to an IPA that has a higher IBU. It's all in the mindset.
What did y’all do to Hi tech? I suppose he’s on a temporary suspension.
“What did y’all do to Hi tech? I suppose he’s on a temporary suspension.”
All I did was make two posts. I did not even “report abuse” and I’m not a mod.
Thank you very much, Louis Foxwell!! FReepers are the absolute greatest!! MAGA!!
Gunner donates. And he calls out deadbeat roboposters. Why would he be banned? That’s retarded.
Now I say invite the roboposters to donate and carry their weight. And if they can’t, then stop giving them hits.
Ya hear that, Sean?
FR went down once and I freaked out, not knowing if it was gone for good.
Minute it was back up, I started my monthly.
We shouldn’t take this site for granted. I’d be lost w/ out it, although I mostly lurk.
Indeed
How about you, roboposter?
Went monthly a while back, comes off the top and helps keep this vital resource alive. Been here for almost 20 years and although some of the faces and names have changed this is still unique across the Internet to keep up on happenings
I hope that any/all of you that read this will consider going monthly, Jim Robinson and the team deserve the support!
I do a monthly, and I try to kick in a few more bucks here and there because it is worth it.
There is no place like this on the Internet for conservatives. Although I have to admit, I am a birder, and this place often reminds me of watching the antics of Blue Jays!
The internecine squabbling and loud jabber on FR (like the kind Blue Jays reserve for each other) can be a bit loud and harsh, but...like what I see with the Blue Jays, it is often hilarious to observe, as long as you keep the context!
But it is almost always interesting.
It is a good thing I love Blue Jays, but it isn’t for everyone!
