We need the stewardship of 5,000 Free Republic members to insure the continuation of the Free Republic Life Form!
Jim Robinson said in yesterday's post: "My projections are that our regular monthly expenses for next year will be running in the neighborhood of $22,000 per month, or approximately $264,000 total for the year. This means we will need to raise approximately $66,000 per quarter."
If 5,000 Free Republic members who believe in paying their own way and that no free lunch ever exists, pledge $5/month. Jim's goals and needs will be quickly surpassed!
5,000 good stewards of Free Republic pledging $5/month will total $75,000 per quarter. That would allow Jim/John a little breathing room!
Many of us donate more per month than that. So please don't reduce your donation. We just need 5,000 regular pledgers to make things easier for Jim.
Are there 5,000 good Stewards out there who can afford $5/month to keep alive the Free Republic Life Form?
One way to afford this is to cancel your subscription to your left wing fish wrap or bird cage liner. Donate half of that monthly cost to your favorite charity and the rest to Free Republic. If you do this, you remove your money from the enemies of America and invest it with the friends of America, Free Republic! That would be a double winner for America!
Become one of the 5,000 Freepers who believe that there is no Free Republic lunch and that only parasites want something for free! Sign up for $5/month on a monthly auto payment plan!
Bumping for new $5 monthlies! Please join Grampa Dave's team!! Your $5 per month donation will be greatly appreciated!
An excerpt from Grampa Dave's Free Republic Lifeform post:
"This is a wonderful description of what Free Republic really is. It is a living and evolving Life Form to battle the left wingers and those who would destroy this country!...
Free Republic needs a constant infusion of cash to keep the Free Republic Life Form alive, viable and to grow. If we believe in Free Republic, we must donate each month or quarterly to keep this incredible life form alive... Good stewardship is what this world needs, not good intentions. Good conservative stewards will insure that the Free Republic Life Form continues to grow, be viable and thrives!"
The Free Republic Life Form continues to grow -- A $5 per month "infusion" will make a difference!!
Freepathon Holidays are Here Again: Let's Really Light Our Tree This Year - Thread 6
Posted on 12/5/01 5:05 AM Pacific by WIMomThese messages from BADJOE need RE-posting HERE:
THANK YOU, GRAMPA DAVE!!!There are some very interesting differences with this Freepathon besides the amazing speed with which we reached our goal.
We had at least double the number of contributors that we had last time. Obviously the average donation was smaller.
In the past we've had some big donors, who when we bogged down came in with a big hit or a big challange to generate excitement. We did not need that this time.
I would guess that 75% of the donors this time were first time donors.
In the past some large donors wound up giving three to five thousand dollars to keep us going. That was definately not necessary this time.
I am so very pleased that a much larger portion of our readers and posters pitched in with their posts and their money.
This is truely a breakout for our participants and I see FR having a big growth this coming year.
Now to my team 2nd, BIS, WIMom, Topaz, 1John, Clikker, Palo Verde and all (I hope I have't missed anyone) . I thank you very very much. It would not have been possible without you. May God Bless you and your families.
Joe
