WHERE WOULD YOU GET YOUR NEWS FROM IF FREEREPUBLIC WASN'T HERE? Thread 2

September 18, 2001 | FReepers and Lurkers who care about FreeRepublic

[WIMom]

It is not always easy or fun sitting at a computer for hours and hours monitoring these threads. Everyone person here is a VOLUNTEER. As a matter of fact, we pay to do this. We spend days and weeks helping to keep FreeRepublic running.

Ask yourself these questions:

Where is the first place I go to get my news?
Am I getting any benefit from FreeRepublic?
Am I learning from FreeRepublic?

FreeRepublic is not free. It costs Jim Robinson tens of thousands of dollars to keep this forum running. There are over 60,000 registered users on FreeRepublic and only 1,000 help keep this forum running regularly. Those who do not have the ability to donate money could help by stopping by and giving a bump. Those who who do have the means and have not contributed, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You are a FReeploader.

We do not want to see this forum dead, therefore, we are asking that you help keep FreeRepublic running.

If everyone who registered donated one measly dollar a month, we would never have to have a fundraiser again.

WIMom, You're a Treasure!

Thank You!

[WillaJohns]

This is incredible! I'm so proud of the Freepers!

And WIMom, apparently she WILL NOT BE DENIED!

Just a thought, I have been donating to Free Republic by a monthly debit for quite awhile. I cancelled my socialistic/liberal-leaning newspaper and switched the price of the paper to a Free Republic donation. I get much more for my money. I get more information, quicker reporting, and an open, honest discussion of the events. Plus, I get a sense of accomplishment that I helped keep this wonderful site working.

Many, many others have also been Treasures of FR.

Thanks to all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WIMom]

And do you think that information will be disclosed to the other media outlets? The news reporters can't even get onto a military base. Most of what has been posted here in the last couple of days is mis-information, and it is Jim decisions to pull what he believes might destroy our country. And besides, are we in a position to tell Jim how to run his web site? It's his right to run his site as he sees fit.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

[WIMom]

Thanks!

[kayak]

Bumping for dollars!

THANK YOU FREEPERS

Oooo, you're good. I clicked on this thread thinking it was just another meaningless vanity, but to my amazement it's a fundraising thread. Fine by me, FR needs the donations of our members. For that I give you a BIG BUMP

BTW, there is no other place to get my news. I've already donated recently. I'll give more as extra cash becomes available. I'm a little strapped at the moment.

[WIMom]

Good to see you again Willa! Thanks for the report.

THANK YOU FREEPERS AND LURKERS!

[WillaJohns]

kayak, my lovely, Badjoe reports:

6 MORE!!!!! for a total of $250!!!

My goodness, I think I'm gonna cry.

THANK YOU FREEPERS!
