Be proud Don't Apologize
Joe Phillips | 3-6-02 | Joe Phillips

Freepers-----Lurkers----- Supporters I have a message for you.

Every time we have a Freepathon I get hundreds of donations for very small amounts, with the statement " I'm sorry I couldn't give more.

When this statement comes in I type on the thank you note " Every Donation Helps BigTime" I have to type this so often I'm thinking of putting it on every thank you note, because it would save time. However, I realize some folks need an extra "pat on the fanny". : )

What I'd really like you to understand is that it was embarrassing for me to write the thank you to some donors when they put in the second and third and fourth $500 or $1,000 donations to get us to our goal and keep FR alive. I did not have to do that in the December Freepathon, nor will I have to do that this time, because of all the $5.00 and 10.00 donations.

You are the backbone of the Free Republic. Freeper is a very proud name. Stand tall, put your chest out, and know that your country knows you care. You are one of a very elite, very small percentage (2%) who care enough to help. God Bless you. Our countery needs you, and the Free Republic knows you are the heart and sole of America.

Give it 2 years, and it'll be required. Been there, done that.

You mean that only 2% of FReepers give ANYTHING to Free Republic? That's hard to believe. FR is like our home online.

LOL! Big victory party and ostrich roast at the end of the FReepathon at GR's place. We don't want to have it at Mo's place cause she might torch the neighborhood!

Somehow I think it would take more than one suckling pig to satisfy the appetite of this many FReepers. There are many of us lifelong barbeque lovers in the crowd.

I greatly appreciate the $5 donors as well. There should be no embarrassment at all in giving this amount. If everybody who posts in this forum gave at least $5, this fundraiser would have ended days ago.

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

You're right, sor....er...NOT sorry, yeah, that's it. NOT sorry.

"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."

Mighty fine words!!

Here's a great suggestion:



To: WIMom

For those of you who want to donate during the fundraisers, but find it difficult to come up with a goodly sum when you need it yourself -- just for daily living, ----- here is an easy way to give, but not have it feel as tho you are ignoring the basic needs.

Just save some change each week. At the end of each week, just lighten the amount of change in your pocket, and save it for the fundraiser. After 3 months, those few quarters, nickles, dimes and pennies can add up for a donation, yet not be missed that much in the daily run of things.

Just try it! You'll be amazed!

And if they don't have credit cards, or don't trust the web, they can always mail a check. Before you got the old credit card machine up and running, I used to send out a check each month just like it was one of my regular bills.

I love this place, and I'd hate to lose it. I'm glad that I was able to do something to help. So, thank you for the thank you! :-)

I'm one of the donors who apologized. I apologize for apologizing.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that. It's regretful that so much sorrow must be expressed in one apology. ;^)
