Registration Benefits:
Join the revolution of patriotic Americans who are concerned about big government spending, the ever-expanding federal government, and the inevitable tax increases resulting from these irresponsible actions by our ‘non-representing’ representatives. The silent majority is no longer silent.
Post your own articles on our web site. Express yourself.
As a registered member, you can create your own public blog posts on this web site. Plus while you’re logged in, your comments automatically include your member name and web site link. Also, your custom avatar is displayed (requires free Gravatar.com registration).
Plus, registered members can edit their own comments while they’re logged in. Others have a 60 minute time limit in which to edit their own comments. In fact, registered members can moderate comments on their own posts.
Registered members also gain access to our private messaging system. This allows you and other members to communicate directly.
And, of course, you will be listed on our “Members” page. Having a “Member Profile Page” entitles you to include virtually any content you choose on this page in your own personal post … commentary, YouTube videos, and flash widgets that are available at many sites with copy/paste code. In short, you can customize your profile page.
Plus, visitors and registered members alike can leave public comments on your profile page. You have the option to disable this feature or simply to moderate the comments.
You can start, expand, or enhance your writing career … have thousands of other patriots peruse your commentaries. Build a following of those who enjoy your writing style and relevant content … without having to endure the complexities of starting your own blog site or having to struggle to establish your own web traffic.
You can also post your original articles here that you post elsewhere for even greater exposure.
Moreover, when you log in, you’ll note that additional options have been added to the Member Services block (at the top right of the sidebar). These are quick access shortcuts to various membership benefits.
Membership Buttons:
Once you’ve registered, we encourage you to prominently place one of our member buttons on your web site.

How To Post A Blog Entry:
We use the popular WordPress blogging engine. This easy-to-use publishing platform is state-of-the-art with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. We have highly customized our installation for functionality, features, and visual flow.
You don’t have to know any HTML to post blogs entries on our site since you can use the built-in Visual WYSIWYG editor. But if you are familiar with advanced web design, you can also insert HTML, Javascript, and Flash code in your document.
To post or edit your blog entries, you need to be logged in first. Then, choose “Admin Dashboard” in the “Member Services” block in the right-hand sidebar. This will present your personalized “Dashboard”.
Now, click the “Posts” link in the left-hand sidebar. Choose “Edit” or “Add New” to continue.
We highly recommend using the Firefox browser when you add or edit blog entries since it has a built-in spell checker and works better with the Visual Editor.
