Imagine if there were no Free Republic...

- No Sore Loserman protests to save an election...

- No Washington Times Ad pushing Congress to Impeach...

- No exposing of traitorous public officials...

- No media watchdog to ferret out the bias...

- No Breaking News...

For these reasons and a thousand others, please support Free Republic!

I also got my check today, so I contributed to FR. Unfortunately, freepathons often occur simultaneously with estimated tax payment time when all my "after-tax" disposal income goes to pay more taxes. This was one occasion where the government sent me money at estimated tax payment time!

If we come down to the wire and have had limited participation, then unleash the e-mail!

My sentiments exactly!

Unfortunately my "rebate" check isn't getting mailed until sometime this month, but I did have an eagerly awaited past due payment arrive (the check really was in the mail), which unfortunately most of which had to go to pay off the credit card folks. It's always interesting with the wife and two rugrats on one income! Debt doesn't scare me anymore ;-)

[steveegg]

Cripes; I can't even get a pass-through thanks in without having to thank another state. Thank you, Texas.

[firewalk]

Thank you Connecticut!

[Alamo-Girl]

bump!

[gogeo]

BADJOE, we got caught asleep...credit that to newbie disease, I guess. The work of FR is so important...we all can, and should, do much better than this.

[firewalk]

Thank you freeper in the unknown location!

[gogeo]

I think that would be a great idea! I wanted to find the fundraising thread this AM when I got to work, and had to search for it...if I hadn't known it was happening, I still wouldn't know it was happening!

[gogeo]

I'll just repeat...an e-mail from JimRob is not spam!

[basil]

I couldn't agree with you more, Angelwood. Instead of thinking of an email from JimRob (or just from FreeRepublic if JimRob would rather not have his name attached) as spam, I think most people would take it as a compliment.

There are far too many freepers and lurkers who have no idea of our financial situation, and who must assume that running a web site such as this doesn't cost anything. They need a bit of educating on the subject. A friendly email should go a long way towards helping them "get it"! I think many of these people have no idea that they are "freeloading" on the contributions that 2% of the membership donate.

In other words, JimRob, et al--my vote is to go for it!
