Dear Free Software Supporter,
-Tomorrow we mark the end of our year-long celebration of the 25th anniversary
of the GNU Project---a celebration that we kicked off in September 2008 with a
wonderful video from author and comedian Stephen Fry (http://www.gnu.org/fry/).
-
-Today, we celebrate the fact that we have passed 25,000 subscribers to our
monthly newsletter, the Free Software Supporter (http://www.fsf.org/fss), and
we thank the 3,200 individuals who have joined the Free Software Foundation as
associate members to fund our work. You can join their ranks now and become a
proud card carrying member:

-I am proud that the FSF has so many dedicated activists and members, who every
day voice their support for our mission and advocate for a free society.

ethical importance of free software is growing. With your support, the FSF
will continue to sponsor the GNU Project and build capacity as an organization,
and we will communicate, work with, and meet the needs of the free software
community. Together, we fight to remove the unjust yolk of proprietary
software, software patents, Digital Restrictions Management, and Treachorous
Computing, and to build a world of free software where we the users are free.
