1996 - Still Going Strong!
HI again EVERYBODY
WITH SINCERE THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FReeper-Patriot Donors and in particular to all you New Monthly Donors, "this FReepathon" just might be the last of the FReepathon's to go into the 3rd Month!
Our New Monthly Donor Campaign is getting into Record Breaking territory!!
Given that I've already prepaid my $100.00 sponsorship, I'm fully confident that at least 5 more of you FReeper-Patriots will sign up to Donate Monthly, which will COMPLETE my Round #8!!
We will need another FReeper-Sponsor once y'all fill my 10 slots, and extremely generous, FReeper-Patriot gogeo, (who's already sponsored Round's #5 and #7) has volunteered to sponsor Round #9 if nobody else volunteers!!
(Hopefully, someone else will volunteer!)
To remind everyone about the importance of Donating Monthly, please read Jim's explanation below!
If we could get our Monthly figure over $15,000 then they would represent $45,000 total for the quarter. That’s over half of our goal.
If my math is correct, with $15,000 in Monthlies, we could possibly be ending our fundraisers in under 30-40 days every quarter.
If we have a new fundraiser starting with a goal of $88,000 and it gets to about $30,000 (in three weeks or so) we could accrue the $45,000 in Monthlies and our new total would be $75,000 and there’d be only about $13,000 left to go.
With a big push we could probably raise that in a week to ten days and we’re done.
In other words, at $15,000 per month in Monthlies, our fundraisers would complete in half the time they take now.
If we could get to $20,000 per month in Monthlies they’d probably take less than three weeks to complete.
If we could get to $30,000 per month in reliable Monthlies, we wouldn’t need fundraisers at all!
Currently, we have about 630 Monthlies totaling approx $11,000 per Month or about $17.50 per Monthly Donation.UPDATE! = Now we have 675 Monthlies - totaling approx $12,000 per Month or about $17.65 per Monthly Donation. Thank you very much, New Monthly Donors!!!
To get to $15,000 in Monthlies we’d need to keep those we have and add about 225 New Monthly Donors at about the same average.
A lofty goal, but doable.
Right now, we have Less than $5.2k to GO!
Thanks very much to all our FReeper-Patriot Donors! You make Free Republic possible for all to enjoy, including those who Don't Donate... YET!
I would be neglect were I to forget to mention of Our 300 Club! FReeper I_be_tc sends in $100 per quarter and challenges 300 others to do the same. If we could get 300 FReepers to send in $100 per quarter, these FReepathons would complete much faster.
Right now we have 198 Donations of $100.00 or more, which accounts for $24,520.00 to the current total!!
(Here's a secret) ... History proves that FReepathon's conclude once we receive between 215 - 230 Donations of $100.00 or more!

Enough from me!
Thanks very much again, FReeper-Patriot Donors!
If you haven't yet made your Donation, please make it today and Go Monthly if you reliably can!!!
God bless and keep you all.
God bless Our Founder and Leader, Jim Robinson
God speed Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

And yet, it continues to take longer to end Freepathons.
Mainly, due to those who clog this website with duplicates and garbage posts. While never, ever donating.
It’s getting old.
If you contribute $35 a month, you will qualify in the $300 category.
You have no argument from me!
I’m in total agreement and ditto for the vast majority!
You’re precisely right, dearest Gumdrop!

I can’t donate if this is what we have become.
I don’t expect perfection from volunteer mods.
We will be sorry to lose you.
If I see a duplicate or vanity in breaking news, I press abuse...give the link or links to the mod...I saw 4 in a row recently. Describe problem.
The mods need members to help keep vanities out of the news, duplicates down. It takes time for them to keep up with it all!
Try this with the offending You Tube post placement
I expect NOTHING from volunteer mods.
I expect that FReepers would at least READ FR before posting stories that are 3-5 days old.
The average FReeper is LAZY.
Flame On!
I really do not care anymore.
Thank you very much, dearest onyx!! Great thread!!
Woo hoo!!
And this just in:
$30.00 from Florida
$20.00 from Never Never Land
$10.00 monthly from California
$20.00 from Never Never Land
$20.00 from Georgia
$100.00 from California
Thank you all very much!!
Woo hoo!! And now less than $5k to go!! Let’s git ‘er done.
FReepers ROCK!!
God bless.
I think many don’t bother to read the rules either.
They never use search!
We need to work with the mods to form a death squad to either get these items deleted — or get the posters to pay a significant amount at our quarterly FReepathon for the right to post such drivel.
Earlier today someone posted,under News,some drivel that was four MONTHS old.
I commented but got no response.
Not the mods fault. I’ve been after them to keep a light hand on the tiller. I’ll be the bad guy when it has to be done, but I don’t like being bad. Thanks.
See my reply above.
