If the Gang of 5,000 (the term I prefer) or the 5,000 Responsible Freeper Club, or whatever it winds up being called, is actually formed, I will proudly wear my cyber-pin -- whether it is a colored handle display, or an icon attached to my screen name or whatever.

I just sent some money via PayPal from an old monitor that I sold which I received at no cost. Maybe, someday we can have a FreeRepublic Auction. Just sell old stuff and make donations from the proceeds.
An excellent idea, which might be used to fund special projects, such as a new stable of computers when Free Republic outgrows the ones it's using now.
A Freeper White Elephant Auction -- such a deal! Who knows what I can buy if all these Freepers dig those albino elaphantine knick-knacks out of their attics. Maybe eBay would cooperate and designate a special area for this. It would help them attact more traffic and spare FR from having to manage the software end of things.
And my money would go to support FR. And, I'd have those gifts available for Aunt Tessie, and my mother-in-law, and that weird cousin who wanders into our part of the world every third or fourth Christmas.
