I don't oppose the idea of identifying monthly contributors, but I could see where it might be a problem. Take the guy who mails in a check for $500, (and I've seen a couple of large donations mentioned as coming in via snail mail), or the person who does a one time credit card donation of a large amount vs the person who does a $10 monthly. I'm not saying one is more important than the other, we all give what we can, but JimRob might get some whining from those who gave big but just not monthly. Maybe it would work if all donors were identified the same way? Just a thought. I guess I, for one, did it because it made me feel good, (and maybe a little less guilty?) for all the time spent here.

Thanks for listening and BUMP!

Call it something like a "Patriot's Club," perhaps, for either a significant one time or monthly contribution?

I understand what you're saying terilyn, and I'm sure commonsense details could be worked out in reference to one time contributions.

The bottom line is that JimRob and his family need to have some financial stability to run this very expensive operation, and monthlies provide the security of a monthly base amount.

God bless those going without sleep and working at their computers day and night for weeks to raise funds every three months. What a difference it would make if everyone who loves FR would just contribute even $5.00 a month, or more if they could afford it.

This Free Republic website is too precious to lose.

I agree with you.
