MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

RIGHTROOTS

FINALLY!

Rightroots is a broad coalition of conservatives joining together in support of a solid slate of Republican candidates for the US House and Senate. Properly funded, these candidates represent our best chance to retain control of Congress and to enact a conservative agenda.

The bloggers and groups listed at the right have come together to support this slate, and together with ABCPAC.com and your generous support, will expand our conservative majority in November.

I’ve been so aggravated that the moonbats have had their “netroots” (nutroots) raising money and promoting candidates, while we’ve seemed to be doing little on our side. We of course have Wictory Wednesday, but for some reason it hasn’t taken off like it did in 2004. (WTF, people?) But now with “Rightroots” there are some big names involved in it, so maybe we’ll get it together. Finally.

John Hawkins‘ email:

In order to do that, we’re going to need a lot of help from the blogosphere and talk radio, which is why I’m contacting you.

What would we like you to do?

#1) We’d like you endorse the list. (Endorsements will be listed on the Rightroots page)

#2) We’d love for you to link the list today. The bigger start we can get right off the bat and the more buzz we can generate, the better.

#3) If you’re part of any big Republican mailing lists, forums, or know any big name conservatives you could pass this onto, it would be great!

#4) It would be fantastic if you permanently link the Rightroots page, preferably in a prominent spot.

#5) Usually with a blogosphere story, you link it once and go on. In this case, we’re hoping that people will link this list once or twice a week from now until the election. That’s the key factor that will really keep the money rolling in.

Now, what if you don’t feel comfortable endorsing the list or promoting all the candidates?

No problem! If you just support a candidate or two on the list, feel free to send your readers over to the Rightroots list to donate to them. On the other hand, even if you don’t want to do that, there may still be some news value in comparing what this list raises to the liberal list.

The more people talk about us and link to us, the better for the slate of candidates — and for you. Keep in mind that this is a project that has the potential to benefit the whole right side of the blogosphere. You ever wondered why Democratic politicians pay so much attention to liberal bloggers? A big part of the reason is because they raise money for them. If we do a good job of fund raising, it will raise our prestige level and profile. Make no mistake about it, if we can raise more money than the left side of the blogosphere over the final three months of the campaign, it will get politicians and journalists talking about the influence of the right side of the blogosphere — and that’s good for all of us!

Read more about it at Right Wing News, and at Mary Katherine Ham’s Townhall article and at Lorie Byrd’s post at Wizbang, and PLEASE, y’all, go over to the Rightroots/ABCPAC site and give it your support.
