We're Almost There: First Quarter '03 FReepathon Now Underway .. Thread 7

.... ...
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!

Are checks and PayPals added to the scoreboard once Jim receives them?

Yes, I'm pretty sure that they are, but have to be entered manually. Credit card donations go on the scoreboard as they are made.

One other thing, I believe the bar graph includes pledges made on the threads for checks being mailed.

Thanks for your comments.

I hear what you are saying re: he turns a profit and doesn't rely on the public tit to do his thing along with rather then to nature. I also agree, he has to be an excellent negotiator in order to get the approvals for his creations.

Here is a close up picture of the Hilldebea$t returning from a night of tax sucking to go play senator in the daytime.

THE HILLDEBEA$T HATES FREE REPUBLIC. SHE/IT WOULD NEVER DONATE TO FREEREPUBLIC.

An old man lived alone in Grantsville. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in the State Prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his predicament.

Shortly, he received this reply. "For HEAVEN'S SAKE Dad, don't dig up that garden, that's where I buried the GUNS!"

At 4 A.M. the next morning, a dozen police showed up and dug up the entire garden, without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asking him what to do next. His son's reply was: "Now plant your potatoes, Dad. It's the best I could do at this time."
