Time to Get Serious!

If You Love Free Republic You Can Keep It

By Making Your Donation!

PLEASE Go Monthly IF You possibly & reliably can!

RUSH:  You know, it's interesting to try to pinpoint exactly when the Tea Party began.  Now, the modern incarnation of the Tea Party as we understand it is a television phenomenon, and that was Obamacare.  Obamacare and the stimulus, the debt and the spending, is what motivated people who were already thinking in a different way. Some people might think that the Tea Party's origins really could be traced back to Clinton. 


There was a group back in the 1990s -- and they still exist. There was a group in the 1990s that were malcontents, renegades, and off the mainstream plantation of conservatism as articulated by the party.  Those were the people that were the early participants in the website Free Republic .  They were known as Freepers.  They were... I say all this in a positive sense.  I don't want any negative connotation.


But they were one of the first visible groups of people off the reservation. And by that I mean abandoning the Republican Party's confined definitions of conservatism. They were one of the first modern era groups of people to openly express dissatisfaction with the Republican Party the large. I think Clinton inspired a lot of that. It went somewhat dormant during the Bush years.
But even then these people were very distressed at what they were seeing on the spending side. They were really, really troubled because of what it was going to mean to their kids and their grandkids, all this debt. It was going to impede the creation of wealth as the government grew bigger and became more and more in debt, the government swallowed more and more of the private sector.


We are on the home stretch and maybe it's somewhat of a stretch to think and hope that we can get this one done by the end of this month which is Saturday, but I think we can, provided we all pull together!
Once you make your donation, (or if you've already made your donation) please tell (or ask) your FRiends to make theirs!

All of us love coming to Free Republic every day, so please know that know that EVERY Donation counts, be it large or small, no matter the amount and that EVERY Donation is truly and greatly appreciated!

$5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500 or more, EVERY Donation helps to Keep FR Alive and Your Voice on the Internet!


Our New Monthly Donor count is now at 38, which also includes several New $1-a-Day Donors! We have 5 wonderful, fabulous, awesome and very generous FReeper Sponsors, (Tijeras_Slim, upchuck, Chode, The Old Lady & JaniceTheMenace) who are kicking in $10.00 for EVERY New Monthly Donor, so PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE seriously consider signing up to Donate Monthly if you possibly and reliably can!
Free Republic will be completely appreciative and you will be a hero!



BTW,
Were half of y'all, our wonderful, loyal, regular users to reliably donate $5, $10, $20 or $30 Monthly, this FReepathon and all FReepathons would be events of the past.



We also have 177 Donations of $100.00 or and more, as per our 300 Club and I-be-TC's original Challenge! Just yesterday, our wonderful, fabulous, awesome FReeper from Israel, Jewbacca, sent in $2,500!!! FReeper I_be_TC donates $100 per quarter and challenges 300 other FReepers to do the same, so if you donate $100 or more per quarter, please let Jim know, so we can add your name to the “300 Club Roster! ” If we can get 300 members donating a $100 or more per quarter, our fundraisers will run much faster!

If you haven't yet made your donation, PLEASE make it today! Let's try our level best to complete this FReepathon this month , knowing February only has 28 days!

$5, $10, $20, $50, $100 or more, it all adds up. It all Keeps FR Alive, Your Voice on the Air, and Your Donations are always sincerely, truly & greatly appreciated!!
