I don't know - it's certainly an idea. However, I doubt the state GOP would go for it. Doesn't hurt to ask though... Although, another option is to network at events - What might be good is to create the initial issue, and when networking give out copies of it and use that as a basis for asking for help/investing etc. - have a product created, and basically show that you are serious and show what you can accomplish...

Saying "We can do this!" is one thing - saying "See what we can do?" is better, imho...

Thanks for the ideas - you made me think, and I like that!

I meant to include you needed a prototype of the product to present to potential partners with my last email, sorry I wasn't clear. The more I think about it, instead of screwing with Vance, go to the County Chairs if they are go-getters, (unlike ex-King County Chair Reed Davis), or target the movers and shakers on each County Executive Boards where you plan to distribute the paper. You'll be surprised at the support you'll receive.

Here in Kitsap, I hear the phrase everyday "that d!$* liberal news." The Bremerton Sun has even instituted a new letters to the editor policy because someone DARED to cut and paste some info from the RNC website and include the truth in a letter!!!! (a high shrieking scream)

We have an on-line conservative website to submit links to. Check out the link and send Mary an email she might have some words of wisdom. There's a Mason County sister site also. http://www.commonsensekitsap.com/
