First Quarter '03 FReepathon Now Underway

.... ...

The Free Republic first quarter '03 FReepathon is now underway! .... Thread 3

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!

Good morning RottiBiz, nice to see you too (-:

G'mornin' glock, I just saw the picture you posted for me last night. Awesome. Thank you. I did have a good night, but it was so ccccoollld I didn't EVEN want to get out from under the covers. (big old house too hard to heat)

[justshe]

Great minds think alike...
Or fools seldom differ :-)

[Mo1]

WOW .. GREAT PICTURE!!!

One of the best reasons I can think of for people to donate is to stop all these Please donate on the threads.

Guess you could always put up the clintons picture on every thread and tell people to donate or keep seeing them thread after thread. She has been Republicans biggest fundraiser -- maybe we could use her to raise funds for FR. Daschle put her on Armed Services in the Senate which frosts me to no end. Might increase monthly donor's contributions as well to get her picture off FR threads! I usually donate when I am disgusted -- the clinton totally disgust me. We could always thank her for helping with our fundraiser.

Do people realize that if everyone donating now became a monthly donor that we wouldn't have to have these fundraisers? Just let FR take it out monthly -- you don't miss it -- no more quarterly fundraisers. Then we could have one big fundraiser once a year for contigency funding!

[Grampa Dave]

Or do you prefer this tag line borrowed from Granny?

[Mo1]

Stamp out Freepathons! Stop being a Freep Loader! Become a monthly donor!)

I like this one .. it's catchy .. LOL

[RottiBiz]

And, actually, if we add in the approximate $13,000 in monthlies that will be coming in later in the quarter, we are actually at 60% of our goal of $65,000.

Great news, Jim.

At what point will we add in the monthlies? Still at 65%?

We always get a second wind after the monthly jump and the FReepathon finishes pretty fast after that.

[WVNan]

OOOOOh I'm so glad my kids are all grown. I don't have to go out unless someone goes to the hospital or dies. That's a lovely thought eh?

[Mo1]

My day gets worse .. I have to go to my one daughters Girl Scouts meeting

[justshe]

Your formatting is SO superior to mine.....but can't we some how work the words "Somewhere...there is another young liberal couple just waiting for THEIR chance. Support Free Republic and dash their hopes!"---or some such?

[Mo1]

That's a lovely thought eh?
