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 am looking for the day when we start a Freepathon, take in one buck, add the monthlies and declare it over. : )
That's one reason I flagged you!

We who live in free market societies believe that growth, prosperity and ultimately human fulfillment, are created from the bottom up, not the government down. Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding economic policies and benefitting from their success -- only then can societies remain economically alive, dynamic, progressive, and free. Trust the people.
--Ronald Reagan, September 29, 1981
But then how would we have any fun?????????
I feel that my monthly donation and other's monthly donations, plus the amount collected each quarter does two things:
1. Enables all of us to get the real news not the political agenda prop spin of the left.
2. Enables us to react and have impact on the politicians, corporate heads and others when they try to drown us in socialism disguised as good things!
I can't really put a value on #1 and #2. I just know that I don't want to be without Free Republic and its great members in our constant Cultural War with the Left.
$25 from Mississippi

THANK YOU FREEPERS! OUTSTANDING EFFORT!
In short, while we needed just under 73,000 signatures in 2 months, we got 182,000 in just under a month. After an aborted attempt to get the entire process thrown out (aborted when the local Elections Commission accepted the petitions and rejected the FU Ament plan to lose them in the county bureacracy "copying" them), FU finally saw the light and resigned just in time for a special election primary to be held with the general election (side note; the RATs, who didn't plan, want to delay this and cost us taxpayers another $250,000, which they call "a little bit of money" (yes, that is a direct quote)).
The next step is the 20 supervisors who snuck this in while everyone was focused on Florida. 2 of them already have enough signatures collected to force a recall election (if they're validated), and the effort against my "supervisor", which just got started last week, is already better than 25% there.
