I'f rather keep this thread for just fundraising activity.

There are plenty of threads to discuss the day's tragedy. See you all later

I don't like the idea of shutting down FR fundraising over this disaster, though of course the usual tone of FR fundraising threads is not appropriate at this time.

At my office in mid-town NYC this morning, I couldn't get through to any major news sites on the Internet (servers too busy at all of them), but I could get through to FR and it was an important source of information. This event will almost certainly cause a substantial increase in the number of registered and active Freepers, as well as lurkers, and will drive up the cost of running FR.

Those terrorists would be thrilled to learn that they'd shut down fundraising on a site like FR. Don't give them what they want. First take the time to give blood, give to the Red Cross, and pray, but then GIVE TO FREE REPUBLIC! This forum is a critical part of the resistance against anti-American terrorists.
