I am now donating one to the Second Ammendment Foundation to raise funds for the Emmerson appeal. That leaves one for me and another to be donated to another organization. Maybe I will give it away at our next local freeper meet.

Looks like this thread was a great success thanks to Grampa Dave's initiative and great idea. If I understand the numbers that Badjoe just posted correctly, this thread has generated over $30,000 in annual credit/debit card donations!
I understand that many Freepers like to donate periodically but I believe an automated monthly contribution is the way to go. Sign up for $5, $10, $20 a month, whatever you can afford, and you don't even have to think about it anymore. Meanwhile, Free Republic gets a source of steady revenue that it can depend upon to meet its operating expenses. Now there may be Freepers out there that can only afford a small monthly donation and thus feel "embarrassed" about setting up a payment of just $5 or so.
But don't! As this thread so succintly points out, if 5,000 of us gave $5 a month, why that would provide Jim Robinson with the necessary revenues to meet operationg expenses. And all the rest would be gravy, used to expand the organization and for special projects. Like hiring a skywriter to write "Hillary is a carpetbagging shrew" over the skies of New York City. Well, maybe others can come up with something better, but you get the idea!

The official fundraising starts tomorrow in the morning. I will make sure your thread is linked and I will ping you! I'm sorry I couldn't be more help tonight. You did a fantastic job, Thanks Dave.

Not quite. The total of all donations since JimRobs Thread Wednesday night is just under $10,000.00
We have about $700.00 in brand new monthlies, which will account for $2,100 of that total.

I'm sorry, but Jimrob said it's a no go. Can't do it. I've had to move the certificates to another destination.
I am giving one to the Second Ammendment Foundation to raise funds for the Emmerson Appeal.
I apologize to everyone for the confusion that is going to take place. I think when the lawsuits are over Jimrob may be more willing to do things like this.
To: big ern
That's too bad. It was great idea! Chin up, you can help on the fundraiser in many other ways.....:-)

An absolutely fabulous idea, Grampa =^)
I'd be more than happy to pledge $15/mo.
My monthly contribution may be GREATER than $15 from time to time, depending on my financial circumstances.
God bless and long live Free Republic!

I've got my fingers crossed that Front Sight is offering their 1-day subgun course on the first weekend in February since I'm going to be in Vegas anyway.
Then I plan to start saving to at least attend the 2-day handgun course (the "beginner" one), if not the 4-day. I'm not really a "beginner", but I figure it's best to start there and work up. Would love to have the funds to take one course every six months or so, but that's not reality right now. Got four kids and a stay-home mommy to take care of! ;o)
