Dear FReepers,
We need your help to get this FReepathon moving again. Now into the second month of the fundraiser and we're catching up, but still lagging more than 10% behind the pace. We actually have about the same number donations that we had at this point last quarter, but we're averaging about five dollars less per donation. This is a direct result of the harm Obama's Marxist policies are inflicting on the economy. Hopefully it'll get going strong again so we can complete our fundraiser in the next few weeks.
Free Republic stands for God and Country!! We defend Life, Family, Constitution, Liberty!! And we defend our God-given, constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms!! TO THE HILT!!
FR is funded solely by contributions made by like-minded liberty loving people who enjoy and use it.
We are beholden to no political party. No outsiders, no sugar daddies, no advertisers, no corporate string pullers. No government grants and no tax subsidies. Just you and me, baby and we need each other.
We are self-funded, fiercely independent and enjoy our freedom to speak plainly in the defense of liberty.
But we cannot do it without your continuing support.
If you have not yet made your donation this quarter, today would be an excellent day to do so.
Every donation counts no matter how big or small. If you can donate $5, $10, $20 or more, it would be greatly appreciated.
Your loyal support makes Free Republic possible and your continuing participation makes FR the leading INDEPENDENT, pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense, pro-gun, grassroots conservative forum on the Net!!
And we're going to need FR now more than ever to combat the current crop of Marxists, fascists and progressives who have infested our government and public institutions and who are dead set on destroying the final remnants of our cherished constitution and our precious God-given Liberty!!
Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction. --Ronald Reagan
And our generation will not be the one that sees freedom extinguished in America.
NOT ON MY WATCH!!
Never surrender!! Never retreat!! Never give up your guns!!

Monthly Challenge:
Make it a monthly if you can. We currently have some very generous FReeper sponsors contributing an extra ten dollars for each new monthly signed up, so here's a chance to get a little extra bang for your buck!!
I_be_tc's $100 challenge:
FReeper I_be_tc donated $100.00 last week and challenged 300 others to match. Sixty-eight FReepers have met the $100.00 challenge so far. If 300 FReepers would follow through, this FReepathon would end quickly!! Woo hoo!! Thank you very much, I_be_tc!!
Thank you all very much!!
Your loyal support is greatly appreciated!!
God bless you and God bless America!!
We have a goose down comforter from LL Bean that is amazing, but we haven’t taken it out of the linen closet in a few years. This may be the year that we bring it back.
Sometimes the neighbors help. They have tractors with plows. Our closest one has a bucket loader.
My kitty climbs under the covers at night an puts her head on my pillow. If I roll over, she cries. She'll only lay on the outside edge of the bed and she wants me to face her.
The vent for the stove hood is "clapping". Very annoying!

I have a 18 year old comforter from WalMart, before their stuff got cheap. It's lightweight but thick and very warm.
1864--FEBRUARY 18: Daniel Goos Jr., in the schooner Revenge, anchored at Calcasieu Pass, reported in his log, “Snowing in the morning — Very cold.”
How cool is that?!
1869--JANUARY 30: The Lafayette Advertiser reported: “On last Sunday we witnessed an event of rare occurrence in our section of the country: snow began falling at 7 p.m. and for several hours fell very thick; in the evening the snow fell again to the great amazement and merriment of the young urchins who plagued the elders with questions. Pa, one said, it’s very cold and look pa what’s that. -- That’s snow my son — I never seen that before, pa. — No, sonny, snow does not generally fall in our country. It falls in the North. — North? That’s where the Yankees live ain’t it pa? — That’s so, my son. — Well, pa, I wonder if its them confounded fellows brought that snow don here and if they don’t intend to change our climate.”
LOL!!!
Then take out the exclamation point.
I mistook it for a 1....LOL.
LOL, I usually don't call them "young urchins" when I catch them pulling wheelies on my farm land with their ATVs and dirt bikes.
Yup. And we all know how the hardcore totalitarians reward their useful idiots as soon as they gain total control. The useful idiots (and families) are always surprised to learn their fate.
Mr T estimates that we have 8 to 9 inches on the ground. We are not yet at the height of this storm.
WOW - you’re right. The worst is yet to come.
It was meant to be a 1 but I must have been holding the uppercase shift button. LOL!
It’s all about layers.
I had an older friend, she was 70 at the time, who was plagued by ATV's, snowmobilers etc. They ran right over her rock walls into her tree farm. I told her to drive nails at an angle in a board and lodge it on top of her rock walls. The left her alone after that.
