5,000 Freepers who care are needed now!

Donate to Free Republic ^ | 30 November 2001 | Grampa Dave

We need the stewardship of 5,000 Free Republic members to insure the continuation of the Free Republic Life Form!

Jim Robinson said in yesterday's post: "My projections are that our regular monthly expenses for next year will be running in the neighborhood of $22,000 per month, or approximately $264,000 total for the year. This means we will need to raise approximately $66,000 per quarter."

If 5,000 Free Republic members who believe in paying their own way and that no free lunch ever exists, pledge $5/month. Jim's goals and needs will be quickly surpassed!

5,000 good stewards of Free Republic pledging $5/month will total $75,000 per quarter. That would allow Jim/John a little breathing room!

Many of us donate more per month than that. So please don't reduce your donation. We just need 5,000 regular pledgers to make things easier for Jim.

Are there 5,000 good Stewards out there who can afford $5/month to keep alive the Free Republic Life Form?

One way to afford this is to cancel your subscription to your left wing fish wrap or bird cage liner. Donate half of that monthly cost to your favorite charity and the rest to Free Republic. If you do this, you remove your money from the enemies of America and invest it with the friends of America, Free Republic! That would be a double winner for America!

Become one of the 5,000 Freepers who believe that there is no Free Republic lunch and that only parasites want something for free! Sign up for $5/month on a monthly auto payment plan!

All your donations are belong to us.

Thanks! I agree for addictions, $15/month is a real cheap addiction!

The disruptors have a goal to disable and render Free Republic into a powerless site!

A regular monthly donation and addiction to Free Republic is the best antidote to the poison of these disruptors!

Thanks for being one of the 5,000 Freepers who care!

[Grampa Dave]

Factor thanks for becoming a regular monthly donor and one of the 5,000 Freepers who care!

Thanks for pinging your friends on Free Republic!

Hopefully everyone who becomes one of the 5,000 Freepers who care will ping their friends. That is how this can be done!

It does feel good doesn't it!

I got the same error message and then I got an email confirmation that they had recieved my monthy donation. So just wait for "bad joe" to email you. Good luck. Thanks Grampa Dave. $5/month for this is nothing. I just wish I could do more.

Gabz thanks for sharing this with us: "When I lost my source of income in July, my husband said that I could continue the contribution. When his position at work got changed and further cut or income, he told me I could continue my contribution. He's a lurker, but doesn't spend much time here (I keep him in formed!!!) but feels that I get so much out of it, and have met so many wonderful folks, that he will not deny me, cause it makes me feel better!!!!

I'm not looking for sympathy - Like you I'm just trying to make the case, that GrampaDave's $5 a month is not asking a whole lot!!!!"

Your words and faith say it all! Thank you and your husband for making Free Republic one of your priorities!

[Gabz]

I know a lot of folks on those lists are contributors - but heck, let's get the quarterly fund-raising off to a great start, and maybe it won't have to last as long as the others!!!!!

Sorry to get you working so early, Joe!!!!!!!

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for the great suggestion. We have so many talented people on Free Republic. They can do a Christmas scene. They can do a Free Republic 5000 banner.

Since they are creative and I'm not that creative, they will come up with some great visual art for us!

Thanks for the suggestion!

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for the feedback on the auto charge re your credit card!

Thanks for becoming a regular monthly donor! That is what's important! Have a great weekend!

[Great Dane]

making one of your dollars worth 80% of our American dollar?

Our dollar isn't worth that much....... cost me a buck fifty to by a yankee dollar. :-{

[Stand Watch Listen]

5 dollars * 5000 freepers * 3 quarters DIVIDED BY 4 NICKELS IN A QUARTER = 18,750 nickels!!! FAR below JimRobs needs!

Ahhhhh...The Dems 'fuzzy math' lives.

"In my culture, there are three months in a quarter."

"In my culture, there are two sides to a quarter."

Im my quarter, there are four equal sides.

Laz - Did you do that fuzzy math just to get the BUMPS going?

If so -- it worked! And you are a genius!!

Wellllll ----- maybe not a genius ----- but close! (if you did it on purpose!)

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for being and for doing your part!

[Gabz]

Our dollar isn't worth that much....... cost me a buck fifty to by a yankee dollar. :-{

Are you using Laz's math??????

[Grampa Dave]

Laz, can I borrow your credit card to sign up a few thousand Freepers so I can go Steelhead Fishing?!

Also, you never got back to me re giving your math and math culture lessons to those who sign up for $100/month! We might be able to market your math skills and culture skils to help Free Republic!

This time I donated on Day One of the campaign and put down a monthly contribution. Cannot feature living without Free Republic to get my news and make my remarks/posts! Also don't believe that President Bush would now be President without the help of Freepers during the last campaign that volunteered, got out the word, demonstrated and supported the Bush/Cheney Campaign!

Thanks to Jim Robinson for not kicking me off after all we posted that took up so much bandwidth before the election and then after with our Tax Cut Threads. LarryLied and I are about to start another chapter in the support of this Administration and against the obstructionist Senate RATS very soon!

Thanks to everyone's support of FR, we can continue to take on conservative causes and make a difference. Please donate whatever you can to FR and allow us to keep getting the truth out that the media doesn't want everyone to know!

[Lazamataz]

Of course I did it on purpose. Going BTTT barely does anything. But if you joke about on a fundraising thread, watch as everyone laughs and thereby bumps, causing more fundraising to occur. ;^)

But, uh, this is between you and me. This is in private Freepmail, right?
