As many of you know, and as many of you don't know, this Freepathon is to raise money for the current quarter, not one down the road. We need to get this one over with and now.
November brings the most important election in our lifetime. FR must be up and running and healthy if we are going to make a difference.
If you have donated in the past, please donate again. If you give something every quarter, try to give something every month. If you are a monthly donor, give dollar-a-day a shot, if you can.
John needs some new equipment to stay on the air and we all understand that. Equipment gets old and wears out, just like you and me ;-)
Please help FR in any way you can.
We need to be here in November for reasons that should be obvious to all.
I'll shut up now, I've said my piece.
God Bless,

I raised my monthly another $5 and sent extra donation also. some of us are going above and beyond. It’s not like $5 a month would be a real burden on most of us. If you can afford a computer you can afford to help support FR and keep it running and updated.
Thanks Thor...you are the best!
I think the regular monthlies already do around $30k per quarter, we just need around 4000 more to give around $.18/day. EIGHTEEN CENTS per day. That is what I was thinking. Many already give, just need this added group.
The CC company takes out their share so FR doesn’t get the whole $5.
Or ten a month from 3133 Freeps which is what I do. That's less than a Mickey D's meal for three people. Or a subscription to one of the left-wing rag newspapers.
Heck, I'd pay that just to not see my nutty in-laws once a month if that was possible. To be able to come to FR after being exposed to their nonsense is sooooo refreshing.
Just look at the FReepathon Thread it is right above the big red 43% bar!
All FReepers will enjoy the camaraderie of fellow FReepers who are on duty all day, all night accepting questions, donations and it is a lot of fun.
Would you all please take a look and consider not being a free loader.
We all need FReeRepublic for a place to go and read the conservative side of what is happening.
And, it seems, many old time FReepers, too.
I donated/mailed my M.O 2 weeks ago and I didn;t even get an acknowledgement from FR.
I also e-mailed FR that only make it a 5 buck subscription for the year for everyone and believe me, this Freepathon thingy will be a thing of the past.
Thank you for your donation. It takes a while for Jim to confirm the donation. FReeRepubic is only one person——plus all of us.
Something to keep in mind here is that the Freepathon target this quarter is $94,000. I don't think I've ever seen it this high, and this is one big reason why these Freepathons take longer and longer to reach the end.
Growth in "paying visitors" is the only way to move this along, folks!
You could use PayPal quite easily. It’s one option.
Once you slaughter the Kulaks, they don’t produce grain for you anymore.
Nothing like a good purge or two to help keep donations down.

You don’t have to be a merchant. You can pay with your cc through Pay Pal. I’ve paid for things online using Pay Pal with no problem.
I purchased something from a place that only took PayPal - otherwise I’d have used the cc.
Mod - could we possibly get this stuck somewhere so it gets seen please? Thanks.
And now there seems to be a “Ostrich head in the sand” approach to the problem the censorship created. I suppose I should quit coming here since I don’t contribute anymore, but it is a great place to get the latest “true” news... as long as it isn’t about Mitt Romney...pretty sad IMO.
Maybe after the election I will start up my support again, unless the ban is still on.

I would have to see a pretty good explanation for why it takes $376.000 a year to run a server before donating. Is there a “this is how your money is spent”-page somewhere? Should be.
I love Free Republic and have donated several times in the past....but any dissenting opinion from JR or anything less than being a rabid Newt supporter gets you zotted is probably not great for fund raising
