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.

last fundraiser was unusual
I mean the last day it was at 60 per cent

and when I came back it was 97 percent
I think we're doin' ok

[HairOfTheDog]

Glad to hear it is just the mailbox that is stuck.... I bet there is a lot in there when he gets it open!

A "This Coloradan contributed days ago" bump.

[BADJOE]

The last fundraiser had two big pluses. An angry comstituency because of 9 11 and JimRob let a bunch of banned Freepers back in and some of them really ticked us off. Freepers sent in money gangbusters.

However, once we pass 60% I have a big surprize for all of you.

I think BADJOE uses voodoo accounting methods;

He finally multiplies the monthlies by 3 towards the end of the fundraiser. Also, the new monthlies decrease the future quarterly requirments. So, I figure once we get close to 70% it's gonna be almost over.

p.s. The state totals can't be correct, as I sent in $200 from Kentucky and I saw at least one, possibly two other Kentucky donors on this (loooonnnnnggggg) thread. I ain't bitchin', just trying to point out an obvious error.

thanks hair of the dog
yes first joey reported no overnight contributions at all
then he sent himself a contribution
it didn't show up
so he is callin' the mailbox repairman now
I bet you are right and there is a lot in there when he can figure out how to open it
Love, Palo

[WIMom]

I know we are. Like I said, we were spoiled last time!

[WIMom]

Maybe we should start a fundraiser to get BADJOE a new mailbox. I hear his other one is pretty old...

[WIMom]

Applause, Applause for r9etb!

[palo verde]

joey just posted we will have a surprise near end again this time
and fred mertz seemed to figure out why
I think we're doin' everything perfectly
and all is well
Love, Palo

[WIMom]

Maybe it's haunted?

[BADJOE]

The mail box problem is Socal Road Runner system wide. They are working on it.

Willa and I are now leaving to vote for SIMON

[HairOfTheDog]

Makes me wonder how much more money he put in there for the test!...

Should we all keep shoving money in there to see if it is fixed yet?

[palo verde]

I love you
