I don't feel like contributing today. ~~~ Wait until you see "Unable to locate server"
I don't have money. ~~~ Help with the fundraiser. Bump the threads, ping your FRiends.
There's plenty of time to donate. ~~~ Bill collectors don't see it that way.
I don't know where to contribute. ~~~ Credit card, mail: FreeRepublic, LLC, PO BOX 9771, FRESNO, CA 93794 , Paypal: JimRob@psnw.com
I've got too many other things to do first. ~~~ Don't we all?
I can't contribute much, what's five dollars. ~~~ If everyone contributed one dollar a month, we'd never have a fundraiser again.
The dog ate my credit card. ~~~ Shoot the dog.
Just let me finish freeping. ~~~ BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Don't wait until it's too late. Do it today. Do it now! Before they bring out the cheerleaders! Free Republic is funded solely by us. It's up to us to keep it running. Do your part, contribute if you can. Bump the fundraising threads. Help keep this place alive!

Ya know they did this to the Russian expats in France after WWI.
Created soviet controlled anti-soviet organizations and lured the expats back within the USSR. Woe unto them then.

It is not beyond the realm of possibility.

I liked the stuff about William King Harvey in the "Wilderness" book. There's a tough problem re: CI. If you make it a career track, you may get people like the firefighters who themselves become arsonists and set fires - the more spectacular the better. OTOH if CI is not a career track, you may get few top people, and the good people you get may not give their best, just hang on for the ticket punch. Re the existnce of an "ubermole" at the CIA - could such a person have protected Ames for so long?
