FreeRepublic Fundraiser - IMPORTANT - FreeRepublic Needs Your Help! (Thread 19)

It will be very easy for you to say, "Well, I will do something, some day. When I can afford it, I am going to." But would you let an old "grad" tell you one thing now? Giving is a habit. Get into the habit now, because you will never be able to afford to give and contribute, thus to repay the obligation you owe to those people who made this college possible, if you wait until you think you can afford it. Start now regardless of how small, and in the days to come when you are confronted with demands for many worthwhile causes and charities I think you will find that you will give dutifully to all the worthy ones. But here and there you will pick one or two that will be favorites, and you can do no better than to pick this, your Alma Mater, because you will not only be repaying your own personal obligations, you will be making your contribution to the very process which has made and continues to keep America great.
This democracy of ours which sometimes we've treated so lightly, is more than ever a comfortable cloak, so let us not tear it asunder, for no man knows once it is destroyed where or when he will find its protective warmth again. - Ronald Reagan

Help keep the dream alive!

Imagine if there was no Free Republic... gasp!

- 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

While the large donations are exciting, the small ones may be more treasured ...... they may actually be sacrificial. So don't be reluctant to give if your donation can only be $5 or $10 ..... those are vital to the success of FR. And bumps help, too! :-) - posted by WillaJohns -

"...have to cheer for NO donations"

Having 3 daughters in college myself, I will modify the 'Beach Boys' line and make it--

No, grannie, No, grannie, No, grannie, No!!! {;~)

[Darlin']

Ron C, You've just made my day. Thank you. :)

[gogeo]

Ron, great thread! Thanks, also, for your generosity.

[Darlin']

YAHOO ! FReepers ROCK !

[Topaz]

Post it anytime you like! Not said enough, imho.

[Vermonter]

Thank you Utah!

I've lost track of our count as I was fighting a weird system problem. Finally tracked it down to a dying Microsoft Mouse. Lucky I have a spare mouse, but this one doesn't have the programmable buttons.... grrrrr.

[Topaz]

Is the goal $75,000 or are we going to pay off the old bills this quarter?

[grannie9]

Gogeo...they've already spent it, the little sob's. Why to you think we're paying tuition. lol If I limit it, I might just as well make a straight donation. I'm not a gambler, and am just a litte afeared. 8*[

[d14truth]

My game is fishing --until the 'Muffler' money comes in. Thank you, FAB FIVE(so far) for your 'challenge' match. Hope I 'pinged' the right 5.

[Darlin']

Hey wkwe, Nice. I like your spirit. :)

[grannie9]

Oh nuts, I forgot my coffee...

[glock rocks]

No, no, no.... we donate $1 for each donation that comes in regardless of the amount.

lol, if i had read your post, i would have made many small donations instead.
(of course, all in the spirit of helping JR and Free Republic.)

[Vermonter]

OK, let me summarize:

You 4 plus myself are making a $1 donation for each individual donation received beginning when we started this on the last thread.

This is not a $ for $ match.

The pledge ends at midnight tonite EST.

I will summarize the results tomorrow morning and you can all settle up with BADJOE.

Just so no one gets burned, no one needs to donate any more than they are comfortable with.

Grannie

I wonder if a little FR programmer majic could put everyones contribution on their Profile Page.

Not as a threat of course, but as an "AttaBoy" for doing good. Sort of a FReeper Citizenship Award.

Your Savant

[Ron C.]

GREAT NEWS!

[BADJOE]

Washington Stae in with $50.00

Thank you Washington

[grannie9]

Vermonter...If Christine and Letiring are in...then so am I...!!!

[Letitring]

I'm still here, somewhere. LOL. :)

[Ron C.]

Thanks much! 8^)
