5,000 Freepers who care are needed now!

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!

"If there was a way to give a monthly contribution for a defined period of time, say 1 year, I would have done that. The current setup only allows monthly contributions that go for on forever--a lot can happen over that time period, and I don't see a way to stop the contribution if things go south..."

BADJOE, any suggestions?

[Bigun]

I'm in!

B U M P!!!

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks Rika for your donation. You are right we will never miss the monthly donation.

However, we all would miss Free Republic if we could not go to when we want to find out what is really happening and to enjoy our friends here!

Your donation is not missed by you, and it helps to insure that Free Republic is here for all us! A double win for most of us!

BadJoe, can you answer CD's question below:

"OK. I am in. But for a one-time larger contribution, not a monthly.
