80,000 Freepers and Growing - Freepathon

3-1-02 | Topaz

[Topaz]

When Jim Robinson started Free Republic in September, 1996 to expose the corruption in government and particularly the Clinton Whitehouse, he was alone. Now six years later, Free Republic has 80,000 registered members and who knows how many visit this site often, just to keep up on the latest conservative thinking.

Folks, you all know where this is going, Free Republic is a user supported website and it is time to support it. Four times a year we have this freepathon to donate a few dollars to pay for the bandwidth and expenses necessary to keep Free Republic online, and we do so with gratitude and cheer because of what is offered and accomplished by the existence of Free Republic.

Free Republic does not charge a membership fee or get supported by a government grant. No, people from across the World make donations large and small because they see the value of Free Republic. So if you're one that appreciates this site and want to see it continue, please send in a few dollars to help keep it alive.

Shortly (wanted to see if someone wanted to take them off my hands). It should take me another 15-20 minutes (only a half-hour behind now, but first I have to thank the incoming since late yesterday afternoon).

[Yardstick]

Yeah, I liked it too.

And that's another reason FR is so cool -- all the talented writers. This place is loaded with them! I am genuinely awed by some of the stuff that gets written around here.

I don't know. You just have to search the threads to the last time the state list was put up and then see if any of the sissy's have come in. I get to busy to keep track. Some other Freeper has always done it

In the meantime another $25.00 is in from Georgia.

Thank you Georgia.

[BADJOE]

Good Night BIS. Thank you

[Jen]

OK, thanks. I see steveegg is putting together a state list.
