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.

Thank you Betsyross. Your help is really needed.

I was thinking more along the lines of a selective outage for those 59,000 (or more correctly, the 73,000 hosts that don't belong to those 1,000 that do keep the lights on).

[WIMom]

That's a great sentiment - how about sticking it on the bottom of the first post you make in a new thread, with a link back to one of the fundraising threads??????

If we all do something like that, WIMom won't have so much work to do!!!!

[WIMom]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WIMom]

Thank you so much!

[Gabz]

THANK YOU FREEPERS

You know that you can't really bear the thought of booting up the computer and having to go to the network websites to find your news.

You know that this is the place to find the most current information ....... the most accurate information ...... and the best analysis.

You know you can't bear to think of FR not being here.

Make your donation now and then FReep to your heart's content with a FRee conscience.
