Ping - interested?
Another FReeper and I where discussing this the other day, why not a FreeRepublic magazine to compete with TNR, TownHall, etc..
This sounds very good!
I’d be interested.
Sounds like a great idea, but I’m more interested in setting up a truly Conservative PAC. A really big one, too.
Can’t hurt. But until we are ready to hit the streets and inform those not on the internet, the outcome will be the same.
Printing cost for a 10k run of 16 page newspapers, 11 x 17 format, including spot color on four pages, runs about a grand. As much as we mock the printed word around here, mostly for their biased viewpoints, having something in print makes your viewpoint have more impact, and you have something to send legislators that might actually be read by a staffer.
And while I know a lot love the magazine format, my honest opinion is that there’s no way to come to a realized profit using that vehicle, whereas recovering the costs on a newsprint run is far easier.
A streaming Internet 24/7 radio station might also be a good idea. Rush, Laura, Sean, Mark, etc. might donate their audio royalty-free.
I’d be interested too.
This is also a very good idea....and is there some technology that would allow us to listen to this in our cars? (thinking ahead)
satellite radio
bump for later
I would, especially since the electronic/broadcast versions might not be available much longer.
Cost for satellite radio...an estimate?
What I want is a party that cares about the things I care about. The Republicans kicked us conservatives to the curb and I am frankly done with them.
I’d go Libertarian but I have an issue with the drug thing they got going on.
If we are going to see change in this country that is beneficial for the nation and the citizens, the conservatives need a party that supports conservative values.

Your idea must be shared by many conservatives who are frustrated after 11/4/08; that if only we had one more voice to influence and educate - that our special idealogy would at last be heard and better understood.
I encourage you to use your talent and energy to support the already conservative formed vehicles. If they are not enough to the right for you,, work to influence them.
Too many cooks can spoil the pot. Let’s be stronger though consolidating, not deluting easily understood history which has proved that conservative principals have more sucess in the world than Solistism.
Does anyone know who owns the remaining satellite radio provider: friend or foe?
