I am flabbergasted to find out the great expenses you incur to keep this place going. I'm sure it will be an eye-opener to all those who use and enjoy this site on a daily basis. Time to open those wallets, folks,and let the moths fly out! FreeRepublic is essential to keep conservatism alive on the net and in real life. Everyone should contribute whatever they can to keep FR going.

Jim, thanks to you and John for valor above and beyond the call of duty. You've been willing to stick your necks out to support freedom, liberty, free expression, and decency, often at great personal sacrifice.

Free Republic must never go away. Tell us what we have to do, and we will do it.

You have my complete support. Not one of your detractors is man enough to take your place. You and Free Republic are an irreplaceable force for conservatism in America.

May God bless and prosper you always!

I think that the Freedom Medal would be in order, for Jim and John both. They not only "talk the talk", they "walk the walk".
