HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It's 2008! I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported ProudConservative.com over the past couple of years. Every year, the site is gaining more and more business. I still have a long way to go before I can consider it a successful business, but it is headed in the right direction. The emails I get offering words of encouragement mean more to me than you know. Of course, those of you who have ordered T-shirts, hats and sweatshirts are the main growth of the site. Many of you have visited the sites that advertise on ProudConservative.com and that is another form of support. And once again, anyone who shops at Amazon.com can help by entering Amazon through any of their ads on my site. Amazon pays me a finder's fee commission on each item purchased, so it is a great help and doesn't cost anything extra to you. So once again, to everyone who has helped in so many ways....my sincere Thank you.
I also want to make special mention of a person who has gone above and beyond in helping people become aware of ProudConservative.com. His name is Andrew Wilkow and he hosts his own radio show on Sirius Satellite Radio. His show can be heard from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. E.S.T. on Sirius Patriot Channel 144. I met him briefly in 2006 and in 2007 we have become friends. His support and on air mentions of ProudConservative.com have helped his listeners find my site. It has made a noticeable impact on the site. I know that I have been able to steer quite a few people to become Sirius subscribers mainly to listen to his show. I once again encourage everyone to get a Sirius subscription in order to listen to his show. You will not be sorry. He does more research than anyone I have heard on the air. He has a way of making the complex issues understandable. I can't explain how great his show is. You'll just have to listen to it for yourself. Thank you Andrew!
Of course, 2008 is a Presidential Election year. It's gonna be a huge year in politics. It is also a critical year. This election will decide whether we drift off into socialism or take the better path. It is time we let the government know that America is great not because of what the government does for us. The United States is great because of what we do for ourselves because of the freedoms we have. Do we want to continue enjoying the freedoms we have? Do we want to feel that sense of pride and accomplishment in a job well done? Or do we want to let the government come in and make our choices for us? Every election is important. However, look at the promised socialism being offered by the Democrat candidates. Look at the opportunities to control your own destiny being offered by the Republican candidates. We as a nation, will decide this year. Are we independent, hard working, intelligent, proud people capable of making our own life better by the choices we make? Or are we leeches living off the hard work of others and letting the government make the important decisions for us? I know which America I want to live in. Do you?
