For myself, Free Republic has become such an important part of each day that the void would be impossible to fill if FR were to disappear because of a lack of funds. I urge all registered posters and lurkers to consider a small donation to keep FR viable...at least until the next quarterly fundraiser! Better still would be a small monthly donation so that FR would have a steady flow of income and the fundraisers wouldn't have to bring in such large amounts. FReep On, Everyone!
