Amen to that! These people work hard and stay up to ALL HOURS to keep Free Republic 'on the air'. If a 'thank you' thread bothers you, don't click on it...you DO have a choice. The 'conservatives' that whine about fundraising posts KILL me...if those folks want to put an END to fundraising, set up a $5 monthly. Easy. Inexpensive. One week of fundraising threads and posts insure that Free Republic will still be here for another TWELVE WEEKS' worth of fundraising-free news and information. If you don't feel that's a fair balance, you are free to visit other forums. I swear no one has a gun to your head...we only intimidate helpless dogs around here. :-)
If 10% of those who come to Free Republic or 8,000 Freepers signed up for a simple and painless $5/month auto payment. We would raise $120,000 / quarter.
Unless a Freeper is a poor college student or on a real limited income, $5/month is very easy to find. Just make the pledge and then cut $1.25 out of your weekly expenses and you are there!
How many of us subscribe to a worthless left wing fish wrap posing as a newspaper. Cancel that subscription and send the monthly charge you pay each month to Free Republic. Then you have done two good things. First of all you no longer fund an organization that hates America, your family and you. Then, you fund Free America where America, your family and you are protected!
Well said.!
