“I think, though, that there may be more than just a “few” of us out there.”
Uh, yeah. Atlas Shrugged is second only to the bible in the “Most Influential Book” category (Reader’s Digest).
Wow! What a great response to these ideas.
Will it last past the election-of-a-socialist high-anxiety?
I am prepared to develop a site to focus and “centralize” our endeavor if the interest stays at this level.
As a laissez-faire capitalist I would love a site where like-minded people could share ideas in a forum, network/share leads, “police” the capitalist landscape, participate in polls, contests, post videos, virtual business cards and basically fun stuff that supports the cause.
We could add a searchable national directory and promote it (We have Search Engine Optimization experts on staff). This could provide a way for us and surfers in general to find a business/product/service in their area that is a member of this organization and shares the pro-capitalist/anti-socialism agenda of the “American” left.
There may be some infiltration by businesses that really aren’t aligned but in time I think many of them would reveal their true colors. The mission statement would be very clear as to our intentions and these ideas can be everywhere on the site. Most leftist companies would not want to have their “membership” to our site advertised to their friends, neighbors, employees and the whole world — remember, we won’t be hard to find.
I would call a FReeper for help LONG before I’d call any other business, frankly.
How about a forum section stocked with like-minded accountants where we’d share legal ideas on how to keep your money and your business safe from the left’s giant vacuum?
I believe this type of thing would make us all feel better knowing our money is not funding one of these “leftist/liberal” companies.
Now, one of the downsides for some might be that your business could be targeted by the left in “retaliation”.
Personally, I’m not at all worried about this (We’ve had McCain stickers on our company vehicles for months — our lib customers gave us some grief but most didn’t stop using us. As for the ones that did: I would bet at least half of them will calling back when they experience our competitors.)
Thoughts? ideas?
I think this is a great idea!
I love you ideas. If such a site were to become reality I would definitely be a regular.
I was just thinking this morning about a online shopping database (Like pricegrabber, yahoo shopping) that would link to the FEC showing who the owners, employees of that enterprise had donated to.
