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!

Bad Joe doesn't mind walking into a few donations that he hadn't expected!

Thanks for you cough up!

[deport]

LOL... I know.... Gotta keep the site up and running....

You about to quit on the other thread let it reach a natural death? They've had fun.

[desertcry]

Certainly not, the $25 is to insure FR continues to roll. I hope I will be joined by at least 5K FREEPERs.

Jim, we have received a few other replies from people like you, in your job situation. Those who have been donating each month are continuing. Some who haven't, will be!

Good Luck on the search for your new career/job! I have all ways felt that it all comes back around. You will get a good job! Thanks for sharing this with us!

Youse guys' math drives me crazy. $260.00/mo =$3,120.00/year.

It came from a total of 28 Freepers and Lurkers.<P. Now. Duz ya unnerstan?

[Grampa Dave]

You know that I was joking about Laz. You have to go to the first few responses in this thread to see what I mean!

Thanks, and I hope that at least 5,000 Freepers join you!

Are there 5,000 active posters?

Any chance the award to LAT/WP, if the appeal fails, can be paid from donations, to avoid the site being shut down? Or are there any other avenues to pursue to avoid paying and at the same time moving on to a new web site?

[DoughtyOne]

Let's not give people the wrong impression. I don't give all that much, and over the years haven't paid nearly my fair share.

Thank you for your dedication to the cause! I totally agree with your priorities. In fact, I'd like to take some liberty with the famous Erasmus quote:

"If I get a little money, I make my monthly Free Republic donation. If there is any left over, I buy food and clothes."

[Grampa Dave]

You need to ask Jim Robinson these questions!

[jwalsh07]

I used to spend at least a buck a day on the newspapers. I don't anymore, FreeRepublic gets the buck a day and the value for my money is greatly enhanced.

"If I get a little money, I make my monthly Free Republic donation. If there is any left over, I buy food and clothes."

I don't think Erasmus would disapprove of your paraphrasing!!!
