Woo-Hoo! Our 4th Quarter FReepathon is off to a great start, thanks to all of you who have made your donations in such a timely manner to help us try to complete this FReepathon this month, so that Jim can spend his time healing and recovering, instead of concerning himself with fundraising for the next 2 months! Jim is in the re-hab facility where is he learning to transfer himself. Once that part is completed, and provided he feels much better than he did yesterday and again today, he should be set to go home in the very near future. Everyone, please understand, Jim's successful surgery was only the first step, albeit, the major one.

Get this! We already have 47 Donations of $100 or more and already have 19 New monthly Donors including 4 New $1-A-Day (or more) Donors! And, at the pace we're going, we're averaging $2,000 per day in your awesome, generous donations! Thank you ALL very much!!!!

Now, about the $100 Donations and more! Every quarter, FReeper I_be_tc, challenges 300 FReepers to match her $100 donation. This Quarter, I kicked-off I_be_tc's $100 challenge to get things started, so please join me, if you possible can!

Please know, that $100. was a big stretch for me, but I want to try to get this FReepathon done quickly for Jim's sake; and that I'm not just asking you all to donate a little extra this time!

If you send in $100 or more per quarter, please send me a note (in Jim's temporary absence) and I'll add your screen name to the 300 Club Roster! And, please don't be shy about adding your name. We know you're humble and maybe even shy, but seeing your names on the Roster often times inspires others to join you!

Our New Monthly Donor Campaign is also rocking! We conduct this campaign because reliable Monthly Donations are an ideal way to support Free Republic. We already have 5 Very Generous FReeper Sponsors, Tijeras_Slim, upchuck, "somebody", Tijeras_Slim again, and Owen Kellogg for this Quarter's NMD Campaign!

All 5 FReeper Sponsors are donating $10.00 for each New Monthly Donor who signs up, so please consider Donating Monthly, if you can reliably do so! $15 a month is 50 cents a day. Please ask yourselves, "what is FR worth to you?" that you can reliably contribute every month?

Whether your donation is $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 or more, it all helps keep FR alive and is always sincerely and truly appreciated!!

In closing, I know, and we all know, that times are tough, unconscionably tough, but for Jim's sake, I'm asking you all to please dig deep and to please dig deep right away or as soon as you possibly can, so that Jim can have some peace of mind during his healing and recovery processes. You all know he wants to be here with us, and he is, whenever he's able.

In Jim's temporary absence, Just Amy, (whom you all know and adore) is posting the incoming. She is Jim's life-long, close friend and also his business partner and FR's bookkeeper. So please, let's get keep those donations coming in!

We Can Do This, provided We ALL pitch in right away.

Please always remember, $25 keeps FR ALIVE!!

.....make sure your donation continues when you receive a new credit card with an updated expiration date.

The same thing happened to me and I didn't catch it for months. Just about the time I discovered it My salary dropped 50%. I'm still trying to catch up. When we get moved to a smaller place I hope to reinstate my monthly. Right now, I don't have it.

Keeping you in my prayers Jim.

If we bump our monthly amount, would it count as “new” for purposes of the match? (Gonna bump it anyway).

Inspiration for

Pikes Peak, Colorado



Pikes Peak, America's Mountain


Taken from a line in 'America the Beautiful' the patriotic song was written by
Katharine Lee Bates in 1893. She wrote other versions later, in 1904 and 1913.

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Katharine Lee Bates wrote the song following an inspirational
visit to Pikes Peak, Colorado, USA, which she later described:

"One day some of the other teachers and I decided to go on a trip to 14,000-foot Pikes Peak. We hired a prairie wagon. Near the top we had to leave the wagon and go the rest of the way on mules. I was very tired. But when I saw the view, I felt great joy. All the wonder of America seemed displayed there, with the sea-like expanse."
