I just counted them. My estimate was a little high. There were 129 new monthlies, but there were 20 more Freepers who upped their monthly amount. My guesstimate is that the monthlies are up a total of $1500.00 From $5,600 to 7,100 I'll post the total to this thread when we get it done..

It will be days and days before we get them input to run credit card program. Willa and I are inputing the regular donations now. That alone will take two or three days. We do not work at it full time, but it does take both of us. I read them , she types. Just looking at the stack of papers, I'd say we have about 500 more entries to input.

Good morning to all of the great Freepathon team!

Apparently it feels as good if not better than yesterday to all of you as it does to me!

Great Job!

what's the procedure for jumping up the size of a guy's monthly?

Freepmail BADJOE with your real name and the particulars and he will take care of it.

Sorry I took so long to get back to you, sometimes I forget to check my self-search.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

BadJoe posted this great and very interesting data: "I just counted them. My estimate was a little high. There were 129 new monthlies, but there were 20 more Freepers who upped their monthly amount. My guesstimate is that the monthlies are up a total of $1500.00 From $5,600 to $7,100 I'll post the total to this thread when we get it done."

This is great news and a step forward to having enough monthlies to carry most of the financial weight of Free Repbulic.

Now for a little non Laz math to show the importance of monthly donors. The pledged monthly $'s from the monthly gang should bring in ($7,100 X 12 months) = $85,200 pledged to come in for 2002.

That $85,200 surpasses the quarterly goal of $80,000 per quarter! So the gang of monthly donors with just their monthly donations are providing 1/4 of the financial needs of Free Republic. I know that many of this elite gang donate generously during the quarterly drives above and beyond their monthly donation!

We should work in 2002 to increase the number of Freepers who pledge on a monthly basis. Each new monthly donor represents a more stable and powerful Free Republic Life Form!

There is an easier and faster way!

Go to the bar graph on the top of this home page, and click on this section at the top of the bar graph, "Receipts & Pledges to-date: $83,225"

When you double click that section, you will be brought to the Home Page for the donations by credit card. Then put in your new monthly amount. Then go to the comments section and leave BadJoe a comment that you are upping your monthly to a new level". Then submit the form. You should be finished in about a minute or so!

Thank you and God Bless!

Don't waste your time checking. They have enough of their terrorists on Free Republic. They have their bad news which is our good news!

The Free Republic Life Form has been a nightmare and day terror for these mentally diseased and often physically infected maggots.

Our successfully completed campaign insures that we can expose their lies, their hatred of America, their lust for the Islamic Terrorists who mass murder Americans, and we can exposed their diseased Anti America Agendas like the web site that advocated the death of many conservative Americans!

What a Christmas present for us and a sack of reality depression for those left wing maggots, this successful Freepathon represents!

And you can look at it this way. This Freepathon when we hit 69% I added 16,500 in monthlies to take us to 90% and started a count down flurry that wrapped us up in a hurry.

Next time, if the goal is the same amount, I can add a kicker of $21,000 at the 64% mark to start the countdown, there by shortening the time to complete the Freepathon.

Now, I just have to convince JimRob to grant the one week amnesty to the naysayers a week before we start. : )

That will, for sure get us off and running in fine fashion AGAIN !! : )

BadJoe posted, "And you can look at it this way. This Freepathon when we hit 69% I added 16,500 in monthlies to take us to 90% and started a count down flurry that wrapped us up in a hurry."

When you posted yesterday, how quick this Freepathon would be over, I felt that you would be adding in the monthlies to get us close to the goal! It really started a positive flurry or feeding frenzy. I was gone for about 4 hours, and boom, we were over the goal when I returned to Free Republic. That was really great, Joe! It is still working!

"Next time, if the goal is the same amount, I can add a kicker of $21,000 at the 64% mark to start the countdown, there by shortening the time to complete the Freepathon."

Hopefully, you will have $30-40000+ in pledged monthlies to make your job even faster and easier by the next Freepathon!

"Now, I just have to convince JimRob to grant the one week amnesty to the naysayers a week before we start. : )"Yeah maybe Carol and some of the regular hate Free Republic posters/replies can post their own versions to fire up the good people of Free Republic. It sure worked this last time.

"That will, for sure get us off and running in fine fashion AGAIN !! : )"

One of the basic concepts of success, "If it works successfully, don't throw it away. Keep using it until it doesn't work!"

Grandpa Dave beat me to the calculator, so I'll just wish you two the best of luck in getting the entries mashed into the CC Machine.
