80,000 Freepers and Growing - Freepathon

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 miss your Federalist Papers threads (even though I'm an anti-Federalist ;o)

I miss your "cheeshead" graphics as well.

Granted that there are "duplicates" in that 80,000 figure, but I submit that would be the exception rather than the rule.

To counter your second handle, I have proudly been "Seeking the Truth" since 2/4/98 and I remember very fondly my discovery of FR on Thanksgiving Day in 1997!

Like all newbies, it took me a bit of time to actually reply to something!
