Donations needed to keep FR alive!! [Q2 2010 FReepathon thread XIX]

Free Republic is currently delivering over 1.2 million pageviews to over 230,000 visitors per day. That's 40 million pageviews to 7 million visitors per month or 120 million pageviews per quarter, 480 million pageviews per year. We currently have over 350,000 registered screen names on FR. Out of these millions of visits, hundreds of millions of pageviews, hundreds of thousands of registered FReepers and hundreds of thousands of regular lurkers only a relatively FEW actually donate the funds to keep FR alive.

Now, I'm not complaining, because we've always managed to meet our fundraising goals in the past, but it is taking longer and longer to accomplish the task. And part of that may be because it's mostly the same few dedicated FReepers providing the funds, and, along with the rest of us, I'm sure they're stretched to the limit. Sure would be nice if a few more FReepers and lurkers would lend a hand and send in a few bucks. Doesn't take much. I think our average donation is around $20, but you can send in $5, $10, $20, $30 or more, and make it a monthly contribution if you can.

A relatively few good FReepers is all it takes to keep FR on the air so that hundreds of thousands of us can join together in kicking liberal butt and continue the fight for our freedom!!

For example, 1,500 dedicated FReepers and lurkers donating an average of $20 each per month is all it takes to continue delivering these hundreds of millions of propaganda-fighting, pro-liberty pages to tens of millions of readers every year. How many concerned citizens and potential voters can we reach for a tiny fraction of a cent per page? FR delivers a BIG bang for the buck!!

Jim -

You should change the way things are ordered on the state donations page. CA, TX, and FL will always be at the top because there are, for example, about five times as many people in CA as there are in WA. So you should use either the average contribution or the amount submitted using a percentage based on the state’s population. I like the average. We in WA are only number 11 on the gross amount donated, but are higher per donation of every state above us. Let’s change it!

If you’re gonna create the certificate, consider these:

“A FReeper donated to the FReep-a-thon in my name and all I got was this lousy certificate of recoginition that I am a misguided liberal.”

“A FReeper loves me even though I am an ill-informed, misguided liberal.”

“A FReeper donated to the FReep-a-thon in my name just to p*ss me off. Mission Accomplished!”

GOOD AFTERNOON, JIM!!!
