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.

FRiends, FReepers, et al. In my humble effort to keep the best forum on the internet solvent (FReeploaders, this means alive, well, and up and running>), I will match, first time only, each and every monthly contribution of $30 from the supposedly Great State of Texas. This offer is limited to the first 20 Texans to go monthly with this amount. Let's Roll!

Lodwick, are you serious? You know I'll have to stay up all night and ping every Texas FReeper listed!

Attention, Texans. Lodwick has just issued a challenge:

A lot of people come to FreeRepublic on a daily basis for their news. Strangely, many of them never stop to think about how this site is paid for. Many have no idea that FreeRepublic is fully funded by the people who use the site.

If everyone who was registered donated $1 a month, we'd never have to have a fund raiser. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. Some people think their $5 or $10 wouldn't make a difference, but it would.

lol mom I used to lurk here and post regularly on nother conservative site
but occasionally I'd post here
this was back in Fall 2000
I'd write a serious post
and someone would say
''palo, I see you've destroyed your mind on drugs''
for some reason it cracked me up
some flamers are fun and funny
Love, Palo

[palo verde]

Love, Palo

I was wondering to where you disappeared.

After I came back from eating, I had a slight emergency. My little one, who knows that scissors are for paper only (this after the hair incident) was being a bit too quiet. Hubby went in to do a normal check on her, only 15 feet away, I knew I was needed when Mr. Calm's voice was anything but.

The little (fillinblank) had taken the scissors to her pants. When I took off the tatters I discovered she had taken them to her panties. Then I found some other fabric scraps and discovered she had attacked a dress she had put on earlier in the day. The dress is about the only salvagable article left. What a mess.

I won't even get into what havok she wreaked in the kitchen prior to dinner!!!

I do hope you enjoyed your unexpected company. that's generally my favorite kind.

We Will Not Forget

Our hearts broke. Our tears fell. Our resolve never falters. Our country stands tall, united and resolute.
United States of America will prevail and stay the course.

Jim Robinson's home is open 24/7 during good times and during the worst of times. This is the home I came to during the dark hours of September 11, 2001. Thank you Jim Robinson from the bottom of my heart for giving us this golden opportunity to share our thoughts, learn, debate, and talk of America's strength, goodness, freedom, liberty and strong support our great Republic and her Constitution and the men and women who risk their lives each day so that we will remain free.

Thanks for the carpet bombing - fire at will. JL
