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.

Any FReeper or Lurker who makes a regular monthly donation to Free Republic by credit card or check may add his/her screen name to the list by simply FReepmailing the message "I am a monthly donor" to me.
The list is completely voluntary. It is posted on the fundraising threads at least once a day during FReepathons.
We want to see this list expand until we have thousands of FReepers and Lurkers to make certain that Free Republic, the best website in the world, will continue to be here and to grow. Thank you all for your support.

"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."

"...These are not the people we are appealing to, it's those that don't think twice about logging in here. If we could get everyone of them to kick in $12 once a year - we'd be done with the FReepathons."

"While large donations are great, often it is the small ones that are sacrificial and inspiring.
Every penny that is donated is greatly appreciated and helps to pay the bills.
Those who are not in a position right now to donate can still make an important contribution by bumping this thread or pinging others to it."

"...You state perfectly what the FReepathons are all about. If more of us gave a small amount on a regular monthly basis, we would never have to hold them.
I believe that 99% of the registered FReepers would never miss a monthly donation of $5.00 a month. At the same time, all of us honor our FReeper friends who might be in difficult financial straits and are happy to carry the burden for them."
An excerpt from Grampa Dave's Free Republic Lifeform post:
"This is a wonderful description of what Free Republic really is. It is a living and evolving Life Form to battle the left wingers and those who would destroy this country!
The Free Republic Life Form enables us to discover the truth about what is happening. We can avoid the spin of the major mediots as they work 24/7 to weaken this country. We come to the Free Republic Life Form to find the truth!...
Free Republic needs a constant infusion of cash to keep the Free Republic Life Form alive, viable and to grow. If we believe in Free Republic, we must donate each month or quarterly to keep this incredible life form alive... Good stewardship is what this world needs, not good intentions. Good conservative stewards will insure that the Free Republic Life Form continues to grow, be viable and thrives!"
5,000 Freepers who care are needed now!
"Donating to Free Republic is the best investment we can make for us, our family and our friends!"
- Grampa Dave
Your support of Free Republic will be greatly appreciated!! And you'll be helping the "Free Republic Lifeform" continue it's growth!! As McGavin999 stated, "Some people think their $5 or $10 wouldn't make a difference, but it would." Make a difference. Please contribute today.
Thank You!!!
I was just thinking this morning how kids are not being taught the constitution in school. That's were we need to start. When kids don't learn what this country stands for, they grow up to be good little liberals.
I wish I could take credit for it, but it's, uh, borrowed ; )
Hoping the really cold(below freezing) weather is done for the year; the little garden patch is begging for seeds.
