Thanks - the Heritage Foundation and Hillsdale College also both do such great work, but they tend to preach to the choir (i.e. us). A few thoughts I’ve head:

Start a charitable foundation (tantamount to a conservative version of the lib ones that underwrite stuff on PBS/NPR) dedicated to the task. Let the Adelsons, Koch brothers, and other big conservative donors “pay it forward” by creating funds that can generate interest to pay for operations. Heck, Rush ought to drop a pretty big hunk of cash in it! The idea would be to endow a permanent educational effort which would reach out to voters, youth, latinos, blacks, etc with the conservative message - Never should we pander or play the divide-and-conquer games of the RATS. Most of it could be done online but what about a true Conservative Cable TV channel? It could be our version of MSNBC if you will, FNC is NOT the answer! FNC is “fair and balanced” but it is also hard news most of the day. That’s fine, but we need a continuous voice of advocacy, not “news”.

Here’s some crazy talk: use shortwave radio. You can rent time on international SW broadcasters for as little as $50 per hour and reach a US audience. New digital radios cost under $50 and it’s just like another audio stream.

But what is really needed is a visionary, passionate leader. This could be Rush’s true legacy if he’d do it, instead of selling tea.

Glenn Beck is trying to build a conservative alternative to Fox. He's been picked up by DISH, channel 212. My oldest daughter, recent college grad, is loving watching it. She became so engaged in the election...and was very informed. She was, needless to say, so let down Tuesday night.

He even has a program called "Liberty Treehouse" for school aged kids, in the afternoon. I enjoy watching it - great historical location stories - and my kids are grown!

It's also available to watch online (w/free 2 week subscription). I'm trying to support it as best as I can. He recently mentioned he's got several documentaries coming up...informative about where to go from here to (re)educate folks about....get this..our history/exceptionalism, etc.

I, too, think it would be great if folks like Rush and Levin would join conservative forces and fund our very own (underground) network for conservatism.
