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.
I said something along these lines on Friday, though not at well as you :-)
We're looking at nearly 80,000 registered folks - some have been eliminated, some have dumpred one FReeper name for another - so let's call it 70,000.
If everyone of them contributed $1 a month - a total of $12 a year, there would never be another FReepathon. That's the cost of a large pizza, or if you're like me the price of a case of beer.
There are 149 FReepers who have been willing to say they are regular monthly contributors. Of them 79 belong to the $1 a day club - they have contributions that equal $365 a year. And these are only the folks that are willing to let their names be known - there are lots of others.
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.
Now, How do we do it?? I don't know, except to use the FReepathons and keep repeating this kind of information.

Bump!!
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!...
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!"
The Free Republic Life Form continues to grow -- no matter how large or small a contribution, your "infusion" will make a difference and will be greatly appreciated!!
"Donating to Free Republic is the best investment we can make for us, our family and our friends!"

I just stopped by for one last bump, then I've got to go for the night. I'll be back to bump tomorrow. I'll donate an extra dollar (up to $10) for every Freeper who bumps this reply between now and midnight PT (one bump per screen name please!) and an extra dollar (up to $10) for bumps between midnight and 6:00 am tomorrow. That'll be an extra $20 for Free Republic just for keeping this reply bumped periodically! I hope that by keeping this information bumped overnight, late-night lurkers will see it for the first time and will be encouraged to help out.
Now here's the challenge: I'd like to get at least four other Freepers to match the dollar per bump (up to $20) - that would be an extra $100 for Free Republic! Thanks to Freepers glock rocks and GrandMoM for matching yesterday's challenge. And Thanks to all Frepers who bumped! See reply 2036.
C'mon lurkers! We need you!! As McGavin999 stated, "Some people think their $5 or $10 wouldn't make a difference, but it would." If you haven't read them before, please read the information in the links posted above and consider Grampa Dave's and McGavin999's words.
Thanks!! Bump away!!
