Always good to see you Happy. A good indicator of how well we are doing :).

After you, General Jim Robinson!!!

Free Republic for $29.95/month? whats wrong with this picture?

What's wrong? It would limit the site to only those able to pay that much per month. That would eliminate those who are poor - either temporarily or permanently.

It would eliminate the curious democrats or others who may not be conservative and would ruin our chance to convert them to the conservative persuasion.

It would eliminate college students and teens who will be our future politicians.

I feel the free site lures first the curious or accidental visitors, they then come back more and more often and finally become contributing members. We need new people to further conservatism and to get our views out.

Get some sleep once in a while, Jim, bump!

Great news! I'll be here until I am towed away by chain and 4-wheeler.

I usually don't get in on these FR discussion threads until they're wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too long, so I'm glad to get in near the beginning of the line here.

I just want to add my thanks to you for this forum. The information on this site, the well-reasoned discussions, and even the plethora of pithy comments, have contributed mightily to the conversion of Mr. Right Field from liberal to conservative thinking over the past 3 years. The material here on FR helped him put words and reasons his own emerging observations that the standard liberal line just wasn't borne out in the real world. And for that he and I both thank FR.

I hope to be Freeping for many years to come!! I'll be upping my monthly contribution after the first of the year, too!!

Thanks Jim for your work and dedication for Freedom and America!

[Cool Guy]

Thanks for the good news!! I am already here :)

[FireTrack]

Jim, Thanks for all your hard work and for keeping this site going.

I don't even want to think about not having FreeRepublic available to help us get through these trying times..

I'm personally looking forward to the fund raiser this weekend. They're always fun and it's exciting to see a goal reached. BadJoe lives up to his handle.. ;-) Hope we do it by states again. Lets Roll Louisiana !!!

Thanks again and may God bless You and Your's and all the Freepers..

Go Jim Go! You the man!

i was having withdrawals already! don't do that to us!! this is the best, most up-to-date news site on the whole internet, plus a bunch of really great people too!

It's good to hear this upbeat message from you. I was concerned, based on your last post, that a few detractors had discouraged you. I'm glad to hear that that wasn't the case.

One thing about Freepers: The majority here is not a SILENT majority. I didn't read the 2000 responses you got, but I'll bet the ratio of positive to negative was about 100:1.

Thanks again for your efforts. This site is the best thing going on the Internet.

I don't think they're quite finished posting their charges. Mojo hasn't even chimed in yet.

[Ragin1]

Well I finally did it. I've contributed money on a monthly basis to FreeRepublic. I've been very depressed about the direction of FreeRepublic since the nationals last yr.

I'm not a Republican, and will never give them one thin dime. Republicans have the loudest voice, and they really got vocal in the last 2 yrs.

This site has given me an education in politics and history that cannot be measured in value. Thank you for the opportunity, to vent, discuss, learn, and grow.

May God bless you.

Well good deal, I was worried that a handful of sick jerks, idiots, morons and ne'er-do-wells were starting to get to you. (I should have known better)

[JohnHuang2]

More than welcome, amigo =^)
