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.

Mudboy Slim Hmmmmmmmm...wonder why Snow Bunny doesn't return my pings no more. Did we not get her $5 this month, Grampa Dave?!
Just askin'...MUD
This is my testimony about how easy, accurate, and honest is the monthly donor program.
When the freepathons come up, they're not a worry to me because of the monthly donation program.
I've never had a problem with the monthly deductions to my credit card, and FR keeps me up with any changes that are coming. The security is exemplary and I'd recommend the monthly route to anyone.
Best of all....it helps FR's own Jim Robinson put his time into making this the best web site anyplace, instead of putting his time into raising cash.
Thanks for all you do.
Us Californians are extra broke here with Davis (amazingly) still in office!!!
Where would I mail money to?
I posted earlier that we who live in Kalifornicator should be monthly donors just for a little payback to the rest of the nation for having the Pelosi, the Boxer, the ChiFi Frankenstein, the Waxman, and the Grayout Davis in office.
These Rats not only inflict pain and misery on Kalifornians, they inflict pain and misery on all Americans.
Hey Grampa Dave ... good to see ya
