GOP: My local GOP's website now links to CFL, LRC, Mises, Reason, etc news feeds ;-)

[Matt Collins]

Since I have been made the Chief Information Officer of my local Republican Party I now run the website. I have created a news / opinion page now that links to blogs from CFL, Reason, Mises, LewRockwell.com DailyPaul, Heritage, and others.

I wouldn't put too much info on there; it could swamp somebody from looking. I would maybe put 5 articles on there each day that the average Joe who isn't really a Ron Paul Republican can look at and say, "hey, maybe they have something going here."

Isn't Reason loosely affiliated with the LP itself? I'd take it off, for the sake keeping to strictly GOP or totally nonpartisan sources, but I'd keep the others.

Trim it down, that's way too many links. Catagorizing them might be helpful as well.

i agree, maybe a couple articles a day would be good, and try to raise funds from local Republicans to redesign the site.

Yeah I didn't design the original. I just took it over (they were paying someone to do it) and then I have made updates and modifications. I've got a Facebook group now and a Twitter account. I'm trying to "bring them into the 21st century"

What you've done so far, is good. Bringing the GOP into the 21st Century is all good. I would say the site needs to be ultra inclusive by allowing and encouraging the people on the street to join in, and get involved. This means the GOP needs to fundamentally change. It needs to be a party of the people, from the bottom up, so the ideas flow UP, not down. That way, the people feel they have an actual affect on the outcome of elections. By doing this, then they can attract and hold people in the party. Embrace FREEDOM, and the people will embrace them.

Working on it, but I can't share too much for another few weeks

Nice work--our local REC would never allow such a thing since all Republicans must follow the party (Neo-Con) line
