Related: About this forumHmm, our FRiends are threatening to revolt (latest "Freepathon" stalls out at 30%)
a plaintive plea...
Everyone please send whatever you are able to, whether it is $10, $100 or $1,000+. The DUmmies, Morons, Kos Kiddies and that crew are laughing up their sleeves. Jim may have to make this site members only or allow ads. Better for us to just help with what we can. Maybe you can donate as a memorial for a lost loved one, a servicemember who never made it home or was disabled defending our country. Perhaps you'd like to give to keep free discussion alive and to show them that we're not knuckling under. I'm sure a well thought out or prayerful meditation will lead you to see the need and how you can help. If every registered FReeper and our lurkers would each just help out with a fin or a sawbuck, or better yet a Ben Franklin, we could put this to bed and get on with the conservative cause.
...leads to some uncharitable responses...

This primary season was really ugly and a lot of people, old and new, left because of the piling on or were banned. I even left for a while. Its going to take a long time to heal those wounds.
A LOT of people arent welcomed here any more. That hurts donations significantly.
Insulting FReepers is not exactly the best way to solicit funds.
You may want to reflect on why contributions are way off.
I believe that there used to be a model of free discussion here. But, the number of zots over opinion as opposed to violation of posting rules gives credence to those who say that this model has ceased to exist.
Youre kidding, right? Ask all the people who have been run off over a simple difference of opinion if free discussion takes place here.

Even freepers are tired of being told what to think.
