I am one of those smallish monthly contributors, and I'm very glad to hear that it really helps. I don't spend as much time here as I used to, but I VERY much believe in the mission of this site. This place is the face of the future, grassroots politics at its very best.

This deserves to be said again. Thank you very much!

One dollar or one hundred dollars, it's what you can do, and your generosity. Your support adds up, like your vote really does matter. Remember Florida? We really appreciate your contribution! Thank you so much!

Free Republic is one of those rare opportunities in life where you and friends in the present can have a positive impact on the future.

The reality is in a world without Free Republic, we conservatives would not really have a voice and impact on the future of our country.

So for $5/month we can insure that Free Republic continues to be here for us and to impact the future of America. We can look at that $5/month as insurance for our children/grandchildren to have a future.

As usual GovernmentShrinker has some words of wisdom:

I'd like to remind everyone that the $5 donors are doing much more than their fair share. With 80,000 registered freepers (and who knows how many lurkers), and a budget for this quarter of $80,000, each freeper's fair share is $1. The $5 donors should be holding their heads very high, as each one of them is subsidizing 4 freeploaders.

It makes me squirm when donors of $5, $10, even $25 describe their donations with adjectives like "paltry" and "pitiful". The truly pitiful ones are the freeploaders. The $5+ donors should be regarded as generous philanthropists.

BUMP!!

We use the same recipe and barbeque the bird bird steaks on a seasoned Cedar wood plank using indirect heat.

After twelve minutes, we take the plank and big bird out of the Weber. Then I throw away big bird and slice up the cedar plank. My family prefers the cedar plank over the super dry/tough big bird. We use Port Orford cedar planks!

[EdReform]

BUMP!!

[glock rocks]

We use Port Orford cedar planks!

not myrtlewood?

[EdReform]

Bump

Use mrytlewood at the price of mrytlewood? If you use mrytlewood for your planks, stop, go to cedar and triple your yearly donations to Free Republic.

A couple of years ago, my wife, and I took the jet boat from Gold Beach on the evening run up to one of the lodges for dinner. The main entre was salmon done on cedar planks. It was delicious. I asked the Indian chef what type of cedar, and where I could buy it. He said that it was Port Orford Cedar and that Costcos that year were selling the planks. We bought a couple of packages after we got home. I use the same plank several times.

He, also, grilled some salmon fillets with a cedar stick stuck in the fillet and then the stakes were stuck in the ground around a big bunch of cedar hot coals. This is the traditional Indian way of doing. That was the best. Of course, the fire marshall would drag me off to jail if I did something like that at home. Besides the cedar would cost several hundred $'s (still cheaper than mrytlewood).

Great words!

Do you mean these words?

For $5/month we can insure that Free Republic continues to be here for us and to impact the future of America. We can look at that $5/month as insurance for our children/grandchildren to have a future.

I apologize for apologizing. :)

I guess we can forgive you, even though we explicitly asked you NOT to apologize! :-)))
