I have been on FR since 2009 and the Webmaster for our Website (not blog) for close to 4 years now.
I post on FR several times a month and have never linked to our Website until the recent post that I put up.
I felt that what we are doing on a local level by reaching out to High School kids was important enough to post on FR for like minded individuals. They are our future.
I am active in politics here in the local level with Tom McClintock and recently with his ex chief of staff, Igor Birman.
To insinuate that I am “pimping a blog” is not only inaccurate but an insult to me.
Please refrain from making that statement

Perhaps you should read what is said about excerpting blogs then?
As linked to you three times now?
