Hello all
I hesitate ever making posts like this because, well, I just don't like doing it. But I feel I have to now.
As you all can see, the quarterly goal is not where many of us would like to see. It's still about $6,000 short. This is the last day of Q1 and I am fearful we won't make it.
Many of us depend on Free Republic for our news, our devotionals, and as such you are our family. Please, I beg you, don't let the trolls and folks at DU cause FR to have to curtail its operations or, worst case scenario, close down.
Let's get it done today and put it over the top. I just sent another small donation (I can't afford much but I'm doing my best) and I'm calling on everyone who sees this to do the same, no matter how small or large, please donate today.

I sent in more today, too. I give monthly, but this last year, I’ve added more every quarter, too.
I’m in for $20 / month plus $100 for this Quarterly FReepathon.
Best news source for the price anywhere.
A subscription to the crap Wall Street Journal is about double that.
For years I would contribute $20-$50 each quarter. It seemed to be enough.
The last few cycles it has been $200. I am on a mostly fixed income and this is the max I can give.
I can’t carry y’all forever.
Is FR losing readers, or just paying readers?
Ok, Just put in another $50.
We can’t lose this site. I’m on it every day and I don’t know how I could live without it.
Time to move to a subscription model.
Thanks, ducttape.
Just made a second donation.
Love to all.
In for $50

I sent a little more today.
"We can't lose this site"
Maybe that should be our rally cry!
I gotta visit the repair shop and after I see what kind of hit it'll be to my wallet, I'll try and donate more.
Maybe folks who have large ping lists can get this out to their folks.
Let's not lose this site!
C’mon people!
Check under the sofa cushions.
Clean out your car. Check under the seats and in the door pockets.
Check your pants pockets before you put them in the washing machine. Check in the washing machine after you wash your pants.
Trade in your cider jugs full of pennies. Even though they’re no longer being minted, they’re still only worth one cent, so get rid of them.
Pick up any change you see on the ground. It takes two seconds, and tax-free earnings start at $18/hour ($0.01 / two seconds; $0.30 / one minute; $18 / one hour)
I’m trying to pledge.
The Country box is flagging red, but US is chosen in the box next to it.
There is no US in the drop down list.
I cannot tell if my pledge has gone through or not.
“Time to move to a subscription model.”
Or time to run some paid advertising.
Thank you for extra reminder. In for an xtra 100 today
Let's not lose this site!
$60 for 1%
BTTT
That confused me before also. When the box next to the state says “non US” you jut ignore it, in other words, just forget that box is there on the initial page
Right.
But I always point out that FR has run FReepathons as a successful business model for decades.
They always meet the goal and a day later - another fundraiser starts.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat. It works. Don’t mess with what works.
