Not accurate you understand as it has been a hell of a mess, but it looks like the grand total so far is
$$8,8313.17
. in credit card donations. This includes multiplying the monthlies by three.
If we apply Million Freeper Math(1.2) we are at $9,975.00
.
I understand that many Freepers like to donate periodically but I believe an automated monthly contribution is the way to go. Sign up for $5, $10, $20 a month, whatever you can afford, and you don't even have to think about it anymore. Meanwhile, Free Republic gets a source of steady revenue that it can depend upon to meet its operating expenses. Now there may be Freepers out there that can only afford a small monthly donation and thus feel "embarrassed" about setting up a payment of just $5 or so.
But don't! As this thread so succintly points out, if 5,000 of us gave $5 a month, why that would provide Jim Robinson with the necessary revenues to meet operationg expenses. And all the rest would be gravy, used to expand the organization and for special projects. Like hiring a skywriter to write "Hillary is a carpetbagging shrew" over the skies of New York City. Well, maybe others can come up with something better, but you get the idea!
Great News re the take so far! Howlin, WiMom and Badjoe thanks for covering after I nosedived last night!
