5,000 Freepers who care are needed now!
Donate to Free Republic ^ | 30 November 2001 | Grampa Dave

Posted on 11/30/2001 7:48:58 AM PST by 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!

It really doesn't matter to me which 'list' my name is on, if any. I'm just glad I'm able to support FR monthly. It was Grampa Dave's 5000 FReepers Who Care thread that motivated me to make a monthly commitment, rather than just a one-time donation during the FReepathon (which I had already done in response to Jim's thread).

Bumping for Grampa's great fundraising idea!

We only have one list for monthly donors. It was started during the last FReepathon in hopes of encouraging FReepers to make monthly donations so that Free Republic would have a regular, steady source of income that could be counted on.

I also saw ANOTHER list somewhere of the DOLLAR A DAY donors.

Can we post a current version of BOTH lists here?

Thanks!

I did just that! Cancelled my subscription to the Atlanta newspaper (I don't read it since I found FR), committed to $10/month (to pay for my 'FReep fix' plus one FReeploader), and still I save $22.18/year!

To: ALL MONTHLY DONORS

Any FReeper or Lurker who makes a regular monthly donation to Free Republic by credit card or check may add his/her screen name to the list by simply FReepmailing the message "I am a monthly donor" to me.

The list is completely voluntary. It is posted on the fundraising threads at least once a day during FReepathons.

We want to see this list expand until we have thousands of FReepers and Lurkers to make certain that Free Republic, the best website in the world, will continue to be here and to grow. Thank you all for your support.

It was this thread that inspired me to commit to a monthly pledge. I'm sorta proud to be on Grampa Dave's team!

me too... i'm proud to be a member of Grampa Dave's 5000,
and proud to be a Free Republic supporter.

further, i'd gladly shell out for a t-shirt if somebody
makes some up...

Thanks! A lot of Hugh Hewitt folks are ALREADY on that list!

What about the REST of you?

Grampa Dave: Some folks that I pinged to this thread may be intimidated by its 400+ post SIZE.
I will also include a link to the Freepathon thread(s) when I ping them to some OTHER (shorter!) threads.

In addition to my recent donation for this fundraiser, when my husband gets back from his business trip I will pester him into letting me give monthly. Put me down as a $5.00/month pledge, please. I know it's only 0.025% of the monthly need, but then again, I don't post as much as some. :)
