I'm starting a new site... Elephant Party - designed as an activist network of Republicans to spread the truth about the political issues of the day. I created the site because I realized that we need to counteract the liberal spin put on political issues by the left-wing newspapers, network news programs, and magazines. Here's what I hope to do with the site: First, I'm aggregating the best conservative "blurbs" from the Web. What are "blurbs"? Blurbs are political cartoons, pictures, animations, jokes, or short text write-ups that advance the Republican point of view on the political issues of the day. The hope is that enough conservative activists will take this content and forward it to friends, colleagues, co-workers, family members, whomever to get our message through. The great thing about "blurbs" is that they don't take long to read and work great with people who don't have time to study the issues in depth. The "blurbs" aren't meant to be used with die-hard liberals- time is wasted trying to convince these people. It's more for appealing to middle-of-the-roaders. I've just come up with the idea and the beginnings of a site. I'm still looking for suggestions on the core idea. Also, I have a few sites where I go for "blurbs" and am currently getting their explicit permission for dissemination of the content (most are share-friendly and it's fine to send by e-mail). I'm looking for Freeper feedback like suggestions for other good conservatives sites to get "blurbs" from, thoughts on the Elephant Party concept, feedback on the site itself, etc.

Actually I think that the name is a good choice, I like it. However, you don't know how much work you got cut out for yourself. You might have created a monster.

Also I suggest that you host the site on www.freehostingweb.com or a similar place (costs $49.00 yr). This will rid the website of the banner ads. Of course, for merchandise you can use cafepress. Freep mail me if you want me to design a logo (who knows you might like it).

Here is a logo for your site if you want.

Thanks, it looks like I need to clean it up a bit. I just wanted to see if he would like it. Just learning to play with photoshop.

After I clean it up, I might have the text, "Don't Tread On Me" on top and "Republican Party" on Bottom.

I think it is great! I love the idea of "Don't Tread On Me!"

I will ping you when it is done.
