Unlike the federal government, which has the power to steal money from you to pay for programs and policies that you don't support, Free Republic relies on the voluntary donations from it's members.
While there is already a large number of FReepers and lurkers who donate on a regular basis, either monthly, quarterly or a generous yearly donation, it's not enough to cover FR's operating expenses. There are also FReepers who would like to donate, but just don't have the resources because they are temporarily unemployed, living on a fixed income, have on-going medical expenses or other family obligations.
I will make a $25.00 donation on behalf of another FReeper who would like to give, but just can't right now. Are there any other FReepers out there who are willing to give just a little more? I'm asking you to step forward and commit to sending a small donation, $5, $10, $20 or more, in the name a fellow FReeper who doesn't have the funds right now.
What you can do:
If you have a few extra dollars, post your pledge here or put "Adopt a FReeper" in the comment box on donations page.If you're a FReeper who would like to donate, but money is tight, please post here to let us know. You can also FReepmail me and I will try to match you with another FReeper who has indicated they are willing to send in a few extra dollars.
I probably did spell a word wrong!
BTW, my pledge for my adopted FReepers is $20 EACH not just $20. Just wanted to clear that up.
Now I’ve got to pack it in for the night as I’m in Flagstaff now and it’s been a long day / night. I’ll be heading back to Albuquerque tomorrow so it’s a quick trip to Flag and back.
Understood!
Good night, sweet leapfrog!
I have just donated 19$ in honor of my 19th wedding anniversary (yesterday) and an additional $20 to adopt a freeper who needs it who is currently serving in the military in honor of my hubby who is a disabled vet (army). Any serviceman or woman who needs to be adopted this freepathon, let jelly bean know and I’m in!
Thank you, leapfrog0202.
wombtotomb will adopt a military member for a donation of $20.00!!
Woo Hoo!
You’re quite welcome nhoward14! I wish I could do more to help folks that need it ~ hubby & I do what we can, but it seems like it will never be enough.
Do we still have any remaining adoptions?
I don’t know.
Yes, we still have to find a home for Soothsayer.
And I'm still waiting for 2 military members to step forward to be adopted by wombtotomb and another anonymous FReeper. I've posted twice on the Canteen thread, but haven't even had a nibble. I'll keep posting until someone finally gets sick of hearing from me and steps forward.
Yes it has. I think it's gotten too long for people to read all the way through to the end. I think most will read the OP and possibly the 1st page, but don't want to wade through 300+ posts.
Maybe it's time to start the "Adopt a Liberal (just to p!ss them off)" thread.
I'll find someone for Soothsayer!
Right... too long a thread now. Time to try something else.
