Dear FRiends, We need your continuing support to keep FR funded. Your donations are our sole source of funding. No sugar daddies, no advertisers, no paid memberships, no commercial sales, no gimmicks, no tax subsidies. This means no spam, no pop-ups, no ad trackers.

And because we are not a 501C, we have preserved our God-given, constitutionally protected right to free speech without government intervention.

All of the above means Free Republic remains an independent, grassroots, user-funded, conservative forum.

If you enjoy using FR and agree it's a worthy God-Family-Country endeavor, please consider making a contribution today:

Click here: to donate by Credit Card

Or here: to donate by PayPal

Or by mail to: Free Republic, LLC - PO Box 9771 - Fresno, page CA 93794

Thank you very much and God bless you.

We’re back up!

[MtnClimber]

To all FReepers: Funding FR for this quarterly fundraiser is very much behind schedule. I already contributed my quarterly contribution (more than a dollar/day) or I would be embarrassed to be urging others to contribute. Every little bit helps.

Thanks, MC

Chris,

Can you give us some numbers about average monthly users and posters?

Libloather and I are discussing just how many there are, and how little it would take for small donations to solve fundraising ANNUALLY if even a portion gave a few bucks a month.

Ransomnote spends a lot of energy encouraging donations and deserves recognition for the effort.

MtnClimber and Libloather and many, many, others contribute in various ways.

Even trolls might send a few bucks just to keep the platform going so they have a place to be at night when they’re alone and feeling their TDS.

Heh.

My comment on another thread:

“They may have to go to paid subscriptions to survive.”

A modest subscription fee for write-access (posting articles & commenting) would be fine with me.
