First Quarter '03 FReepathon Now Underway

Donate to Free Republic ^ | January 9, 2003 | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

The Free Republic first quarter '03 FReepathon is now underway!

Our goal for this fundraiser is the same as last quarter: $65,000. We have about $4,000 per month coming in from monthly donors so we will need to raise approx $53,000 to hit the target.

The funds raised through these fundraisers are used to pay our operating costs. Free Republic operates on an approximate $260,000 annual budget (breakdown here) and all funds are provided by donations from FReepers and Lurkers.

Thank you all very much for your continued support.

P.S. We are planning to make FreeRepublic.com email addresses available as a thank you to all who donate at least once per year. This new feature should be ready to go within a few days. We will post a notice and a link for donors to setup their FR email address as soon as it's ready.

Donate to FR and help us keep the lights on for the best political forum on the NET!

[Jean S]

I have to ask. Where is Qatar? I have never heard of that country!

[kayak]

WOW! That's $99.98 more than your usual contributions to the forum ....... ;-)

Thank you, John!

Middle East ..... we have troops there now. Apparently the correct pronunciation of the name sounds something like "guttar" or "gutter" because that's how you hear it on tv most of the time.

Thank You John

[dogbrain]

Anytime!
(just re-financed)

what ever happened to those posts with the HTML goodies?
Been away, and floundering here...

[Jim Robinson]

The scoreboard page will have most of that info as the FReepathon progresses:

https://secure.freerepublic.com/donate/scoreboard

Texas is usually the top donor state and it's usually over $7,000. Last quarter, California was the top state with over $8,000 for the quarter.

[Jean S]

Ah, thanks. Now that you mention it I recall the pundits trying to pronounce it.
And lay off of JohnHuang2. He donated $3 last time, maybe more. ($4?)

[Mo1]

It's where some of our Service men and women have been sent to for the possible war with Iraq

Here is a nice cheat sheet that I use for the font type and colors

You can down load the software for free .. then just type in the box what you want and it will do the codes for you so all you have to do is copy and paste
