(how they see themselves!)
UPDATE: best way to show RS our love...??? RECOMMEND this diary!
Short version: We need you to open your wallet and give what you can to build RedState 3.0. Go here to help. We need the money ASAP.
why is Erik whining for $$$$...???
because
RedState.com is about to embark on a major upgrade of our website that will make it easier, more informative, and just plain more fun for you to visit.
BUT!
The bad news: our liberal "friends" – you know, the ones who believe so strongly in free speech and open debate – have done what they can to prevent us from making these improvements, so that our influence will be minimized just as we head into the 2008 presidential primary season.
how did we accomplish this magnificent feat, you ask...?
teh answer is over teh fold...
NEW UPDATE!!! now, Erick the Red(State) has EDITED OUT THIS PART (ABOVE) !!! WHERE HE WHINES ABOUT TEH LIBRULS!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!
No, our Blue State buddies haven’t succeeded in stopping us from improving our website. But they’ve made it more difficult and more expensive – which is why I’m coming to you for help.
Let me explain ...
You see, when we started RedState in May of 2004, we used a website program called Scoop — the same program a lot of similar sites on the left used. But, as the number of visitors to our site grew, Scoop kept crashing on us.
[here it comes...]
If we’d been a liberal website, we would have been able to fix the problem quickly and relatively cheaply. The online left loves Scoop. Unfortunately, there weren’t really any conservative Scoop developers out there to help us. We kept crashing and were out of money. We had to close down or take drastic action.
Erik will be blunt:
I’ll be blunt: I hate asking you for money. But I hate even more to imagine what America will be like if someone like Hillary Clinton or Barack Hussein Obama wins the presidency in November. RedState can help prevent that nightmare from coming true – but only if we’re offering the best possible web experience to the widest possible audience.
