As of midnight on the morning of March 1, the credit card processing company we use upgraded their systems software and now our system is incompatible with theirs. I'm not a systems tech so can't sufficiently explain all the details, but long story short, after lots of recompiling and rebuilding, John has been unable to resolve the incompatibility issues without impacting the rest of our system and doesn't want to risk bringing down our entire system. Kind of risky doing this kind of work in real time under a full load with no way to test.
So he's now in the process of setting up a completely separate secure server, kind of like we used to have prior to our last upgrade. This way he can recompile and rebuild all the systems programs on the separate secure server and resolve the issues without risking or impacting the rest of FR. When it's complete, the "https://freerepublic.com/donate/..." series of links will point to the new secure server for our donation system and the rest of the "https://freerepublic.com/..." links will continue pointing to our current servers and they are also secure servers.
He says there's a good chance this can be done today (that was yesterday but didn't make it--let's pray for today) and then we'll be back to normal with our FReepathon. Meanwhile, the special PayPal links I set up work for those using PayPal and, of course, mail-in checks are always greatly appreciated!
Our mailing address: Free Republic - PO Box 9771 - Fresno, CA 93794
UPDATE: I learned yesterday that PayPal also has a Credit/Debit card GUEST Checkout option. No need to login to PayPal. Click the "Pay with Debit or Credit Card" option on the PayPal page that comes up after you click the "Pay Now" button below on our page.
Thank you all very much for bearing with us and for your continuing support!
We're now over 83% and will be closing in on the YELLOW soon (less than $6k to go for that) and then we'll be on the homestretch. Woo hoo!!
If I haven't lost count we now have 35 new monthlies and we've received 156 "300 Club" donations of $100 or more so far this quarter!
Thank you all very much and let's continue working to Make America Great Again!
God bless.

Yippee!!
We had a 60-70 foot tree come down in our property as well as multiple shorter trees. Other than that, we were very fortunate. None was close to our house. One of our neighbours across the street spent hours with a fellow neighbour using a chainsaw to remove a large tree that was across his driveway. Most of those in our town are without power, but we escaped that. We have a fire in our fireplace tonight and are very happy to be so blessed.
Thankful that you are OK. I was wondering about you, too.
Wow!
I am so glad you escaped house damage and power outage, (((trish)))

Real conservatives are adaptable and steadfast in their efforts to MAGA!!!!!!
The sun is shining today. That has put me in a good mood. :-) Last week I doubled my monthly. Today I donated a little more. Just imagine how much I’d send in if the sun shined everyday. :-)
Thank you very much, lysie!! Greatly appreciated.

Fortunately, although the tree came down, the wires didn't break.
