Are you ready for a fundraiser?

It's time again to raise the funds necessary to keep Free Republic on the air. And on the air is where we want to be! And on the air is where Dan Rather wants to be, but thanks to some sharp eyed FReepers, HIS air time may soon be ending.

And we can hope that John Kerry's air time will also soon be ending. Thanks to the Swift Boat Vets, with help and support from FRN and the FReepers, we've managed to put a huge hole in Kerry's hopes of winning the Presidency.

It's been a rather exciting quarter for Free Republic -- catching the AP in some outright false reporting, catching Dan Rather passing off forged military documents in cahoots with his Democrat coconspirators in a failed attempt to knockoff a sitting president, and helping the Swiftees get their ads on the air and spreading the word about Kerry's cowardice and treason in Vietnam. Did you know John Kerry served in Vietnam? The only question is who did he serve?

And we're expecting a pretty exciting 4th quarter on FR with the debates, the final four weeks of the campaign, and then the election itself. Free Republic readership is growing like crazy and we've recently doubled the size of our system to handle the increasing demand. We added a fifth server to the system earlier during the quarter and John just spent the weekend up in San Jose installing three more new servers. Free Republic is now running on eight servers! Free Republic is becoming a monster online force!!

We're also planning the Free Republic George W. Bush Inaugural Ball II, to be held in Washington D.C., on January 20, 2005. Will begin running some threads on this during the next couple of weeks, but feel free to chime in on this thread if you plan on attending. You won't want to miss this, I promise you!

Yes, it's going to be an exciting time to be a member of Free Republic. Breaking news and live threads every day on the war, on the debates, on the campaigns and on every important news story impacting all of America and all of the world. Plus the FReeps, rallies, protests, trips, meetings and other opportunities for FReepers to join together in person for fellowship and to promote our causes.

If you are enjoying Free Republic as much as I hope you are and would like to help us remain on the air, please consider clicking the donation link and make a contribution today. We are setting our goal a little higher this quarter. In addition to our regular budgeted expenses, we've purchased quite a bit of equipment, plus we have some taxes to pay. The additional investments and taxes will have just about depleted our cash reserves and we'll need to replenish them if we can.

Thank you very much if you can make a donation and thank you again if you can make it a monthly. Our monthlies are growing and are now over 50% of our regular budgeted expenses! Great job Monthlies!!

Again, looking forward to all the great events that are coming our way in the next few weeks and months!

Thank you all very much for your patriotism and continuing participation and support for Free Republic and our great conservative causes!

God bless you all and God bless America!

Prayers for our troops.

The Dems and Kerry/Edwards are walking talking Hypocrites

That's an understatement.

The Kerry FReep I attended in July was at the Naval museum that houses the Nauticus and until you posted that picture I never made the connection.

Folks, I've just returned from visiting my Dr. As it turns out I'm in a bit worse shape that I've wanted to admit to myself. I may not be around much the next few days. Please bear with me. Thanks.

LOL!!!!!!!! Good morning to you.

I may very unceremoniously have to bail out in about 40 minutes or so. Hubby just called from 45 miles north of here on his way down to pick the little one up from school for a dentist appointment that's 20 miles north of school.......if he can he's giong to swing by here to pick me up.

So if all of a sudden I don't seem to be responding to anyone - I'm not being rude, just didn't have time to say I was leaving!!!!!!

A couple weeks ago I was in a debate with my sister's father inlaw .. I really had to bit my tongue during that one

But after we were finished, I think I shocked my relatives by shaking his hand afterwards and saying it was a good debate .. The shock on everyone's face was funny to see

A couple days later, by sister told me her father inlaw was impressed that I knew my facts :0)
