Free Republic

Today is my own contribution to raising funds for Free Republic - "Musselman Challenge 2010"! For those of you who are wondering what it is: In 2003, I urged FReepers far and wide to pledge any amount they wished for every mussel I ate. Some pledged a nickel. Some pledged a quarter. Some pledged a dollar. In the end, I managed to down 101 of the little shellfish, and Free Republic won too.

So, some of you may remember Musselman Challenge of 2003". It was a fundraiser for FR. FReepers across the country donated an amount they pledged to FR based upon how many mussels I ate at the local chinese restaurant. It looks time to do it again. Less than $5k to go in this present quarterly FReepathon, and I want to do what I can to help. As such, I will be making the journey to my favorite chinese restaurant on Saturday, July 24th, to raise a few bucks for Free Republic once more. Can we top the 2003 pledges? We...

Dear FRiends, Like many of you, I enjoy the many benefits that Free Republic offers all of us. Although I have not had the free time as of late to contribute as much as I would like to the forum, I still have been checking in, seeing what's happening and getting what we won't get out of the lamestream media - the truth. Some of you may remember that, during the first quarter fundraiser, I volunteered for a task near & dear to my heart: raising funds for FR. To do that, I asked FReepers and lurkers to donate whatever...

Yep, it's TODAY! Later this afternoon, I will be making my promised trip down to the local Chinese restaurant, and will attempt to eat 100 or more mussels. Why? To raise money for Free Republic, of course! You can still help, too. Here's how. So far, dozens of FReepers have pledged to donate a set amount to FR for every mussel I eat. Some have pledged .10 cents a mussel, some .25 cents, $1.00, and more. What can you pledge? To date, I believe we have a total of $16.05/mussel. If I reach my goal today of 100 mussels, that...

I know, the FReep-a-thon is over, and was a huge success. I extend my personal gratitude to everyone that contributed to help keep the lights on here at Free Republic.

That's right, I'm eating for FReedom. And I need your help. I know, the FReep-a-thon is over, and was a huge success. I extend my personal gratitude to everyone that contributed to help keep the lights on here at Free Republic. You are a force to be reconned with. Now, here's the deal: I have been doing research into the funding of the leftist extremist organizations (such as ANSWER) that have been supporting and even organizing the anti-war and pro-terrorist efforts here. One thing is certain - they have more than enough funding to 'keep the lights on'. In fact,...

Folks, I'm having fundraising frustrations. For the past week or so, I have been looking into the funding of left wing extremist organizations such as ANSWER, among many others. One thing is clear: these organizations have some serious sources for funding their communist agendas. On the other hand, Free Republic relies on the generousity of it's members. This is great, considering the fact that FR can raise $65k in just under a month from member donations. However, from what I understand, this simply covers operating costs. As far as I am concerned, this is not enough. The leftist extremists have...
