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.

No problem... I just wish I could give more.

[WIMom]

Ok everyone. It's not just me who has been working hard. Everyone has been here, and as a matter of fact, I didn't drag my sorry butt here until thread 40 or so. So, we're even. Please give credit to all.

Are we trying to keep this thread fairly picture free for faster loading? If not, I've got a good one to post.

THANK YOU ALL!!!

You're the relief effort.

2 questions:
1. What is our goal for this year?
2. How much have we raised so far?

[WIMom]

The thread has been moving fast, for me, I have all I can do right now to keep current, but post away, Major!

[WIMom]

FREEPERS ROCK!

[kayak]

Those ladies deserve to be able to FReep like the rest of us ...... we need to get this over with so they can return to their normal FReeping addictions.

[Texaggie79]

No prob. It's on my server, so you have full permission to it.

[WillaJohns]

Bless you, Arioch7, for your support. I, too, wish I could give more, but we all do what we can, what we're comfortable with. I sincerely believe that my contributions come back to me multiplied, I see it in so many ways in my life. I hope you do, too. THANK YOU!

[WIMom]

Thanks!
