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.

Great work guys! Bump for a new record!

[WIMom]

Why do you continue to post here? Is someone holding a gun to your head and telling you you must post a response on Free Republic?

In memory of 1John

who loved God, country, and his family fervently

and had such fun with these FReepathons and his fishing contests

I would like to donate $25.00

and

challenge others to make donations in his memory also.

[BADJOE]

$25.00 in from Ohio

Thank you Ohio

[steveegg]

I'm a bit too busy to be able to track the responses (explains the gap just now too). Sorry.

[WIMom]

Do I hear whining????? LOL!

[BADJOE]

I don't mind him riding in our boat, but I do object to his dragging his feet in the water

[steveegg]

Ain't that the truth. If I had the time, I would have done it this afternoon.

[WIMom]

Wat to Go California!

[steveegg]

Thank you Ohio (and a bunch of others I haven't tracked down).

I guess that's my exit cue. Later gang; I expect to be snowed in tomorrow, so I'll be around most of the day.

[steveegg]

Amen.

[kayak]

I may not be able to be here much during this FReepathon. Please feel free to post my challenge of donations in memory of 1John (#826) as often as is appropriate.

Y'all are doing a GREAT job!!!

[WIMom]

Go ahead, d14truth, take whatever you said and manage it....lol!

[BADJOE]

North Carolina sent $25.00 in memory of 1John, I'll match it.

Another $25.00 in from Ohio.

Thank you Freepers.

[lodwick]

Aw Man. I did not know that 1John had gone to be with the Fishers of Men. This is so sad. So very sad.

I will match up to ten ($250) of this most thoughtful of bequests for our brother. RIP, 1John. See you soon enough. JL

Don't want anyone to feel really 'old' but you won't believe one of the latest profiles on FR

If you haven't yet -- donate tonight so Bad Joe can get some sleep next week.
