80,000 Freepers and Growing - Freepathon
3-1-02 | Topaz

Posted on 03/01/2002 4:59:36 AM PST by 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.

I hate to be a wet blanket, and if this has been covered elsewhere, please let me know. I have contributed several times to Free Republic, including today, and happy to do it for value received. I read Jim's story and believe every word of it, and everything else that I have seen relative to finances.

Making this short, for Jim's own self interest, he needs some type of independent accounting control. What happens, for example if he breaks a leg and someone else has to take over? Because of what FreeRepublic stands for, I see it continuing to grow. At some point standard business practices need to be in place before control is lost. Jim has said he is not asking for charity, and well said because he provides a valuable service and deserves support, not just to cover expenses of the service provided, but for his personal services as well. And I doubt that most of us using this service are not willing to pay for it. I plan on continued contributions myself,

I don't feel comfortable for Jim when he has to defend his honesty and integrity while being so unselfish in his contributions.

Perhaps I haven't said it well, but it's sincere.

You two should check out the Word For The Day thread of occasion -

The current gripe among the male students(croqs) is no pictures of me, my legs, and my 7inch heels.

My heart bleeds for the poor babies!
