Question: What Does "Being On Vacation" Have In Common With "Being a Democrat", "Having a Stroke", and "Dying"???

Answer - All are lame excuses for not contributing to the Free Republic 3Q2026 fund raiser. Is it me, or are we wayyyyyyyyyyyyy behindddddddd on the quarterly fund-raisins? Only 25% and 2/3 of the way through the quarter?!?!? Maybe some have seen it worse than this. And the number of postings seem to have decreased, unless I am looking at the wrong page. Help me understand the situation.
