80,000 Freepers and Growing - Freepathon

3-1-02 | 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 agree with much you say. FreeRepublic is a fantastic site, and too hate that Jim has to defend his honesty and integrity. I am not flaming you, far from it.

What I have a problem with are all the people that complain about FreeRepublic and the money it takes to run it. It doesn't matter if this were a hobby or a business. Isn't this America - the land of the free? Isn't this the country that prides itself on capitalism, and the American dream?

If I desired to live in a socialist/communist contry then I certainly would move to some other country. Forgive me for not joining those that complain, but the site belongs to Mr. Robinson, and he told me he made a million dollar profit I'd still contribute. And I'd be thankful for the opportunity. That would be further proof of three things, that capitalism works, that liberals are wrong, and that the spirit of the founders still lives.

Here's my post at the Hawaii locale:

   I floated over here to tell you big kahunas that you're 

still on the sissy PINK list! That's right! Not a dime from

 Hawai'i for the FR Q1 fundraising effort! Pony up now!

Aloha!

Thanks for your prayers. My Mother in Law has a severe case of senile dementia or a rapid onset of Alzheimers.

My wife's brothers were afraid that in a few months my mother in law might not recognize my wife. So she flew back. Other wise, she would not be flying back there in the winter time.

Her niece is one of these super young people. She and her hubby recently served in the Peace Corp in a real third world country. She is just one of the super people with multi talents: a sense of humor, great looks, brains and a sensitivity to others far beyond her years.
