HELP KEEP THE LIGHTS ON: First Quarter '03 FReepathon Now Underway .. Thread 6
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!
Who wants to sign up? Do you do a monthly? Is it at least $30 a month?
Do you mail, PayPal or CC at least $365 a year to FreeRepublic?

Had unexpected company (business purposes for those prurient types that think about housewives and company that way) and the afternoon got away from me.
I'm going to try and catchup before I've got to leave to pick up my little angel!!!
And am re-posting this just because I am still giggling over a couple of these. For those who didn't see it earlier.
