I am with you 100%.

I am willing provide whatever assistance I can to the cause.

If you all are serious then I can develop a website and provide whatever technical resources we’ll need. I have a stable of web developers, artists and computer consultants with which to help.

We’ll need to develop a mission with clear goals. Bring in volunteers to help on the ground. Then we have to spread the word and gain support and momentum.

Anyone who’s really serious chime in.

I think we need to identify goals. I like the "Red Fund" idea, and since I already manage money, I will look into what licenses and legal hoops are required to create a "Red Fund" with all companies that are on our side. Marketing it and getting investors to participate is the second hurdle. The key is to make it profitable. Nobody would want to invest in a purely ideological cause, but if it makes a profit and serves the conservative agenda, that's a winner.

Next, the identification of like minded companies, products, and even movies that can receive a stamp of approval, or a thumbs down stamp. We need to identify how many conservative consumers we can get to sign up for an organization like that, and then use that economic carrot and stick to influence those company's behavior. We can cross market with socially conservative organizations, like churches too, so we can extend our reach outwards.

Finally, and this would be much later on after a large amount of capital has been raised in in the "Red Fund" or better yet the "Galt Fund Family" (The color red conjurs up red ink....), or whatever it becomes, we can selectively buy enough shares of problem companies to raie hell with their board of directors, if not gain an outright majority stake.

We have to think BIG here. A half-hearted effort will lead us nowhere, and we would need thousands of Freepers or other conservatives to agree to participate.

It can be done if we all can move in the same direction.

Crazy or briliant?

Anyone who's really serious chime in.

I'm very serious about this idea! Let me know what I can do to help.

A ping list would be helpful for those who wish to participate. I'll be happy to start one if you'd like.

I’m serious about it. I have been President of a modestly sized member-based nonprofit, and have extensive professional experience in database marketing. I would be happy to help develop a marketing and publicity strategy, as well as assist with the rating criteria/algorithm by which we would score companies.
