While there is not yet a monetary inducement for me to do something in or out of character, there really doesn't have to be much of an inducement for me to write a paean to RedState.
As you can tell, I write here a lot. Writing is an itch of mine and I have to scratch it but writing just anywhere is hardly a rewarding enterprise. No. A good forum is a dream come true for any writer of his or her salt. A good forum, of course, means that more eyeballs linger on one's writing. But it also means that a writer will be able to interact with a really smart, really talented, really passionate and really well-informed audience.
RedState is such a forum. I have been privileged to be associated with it since the day of its launch and I can't tell you what a joy it is to be able to interact with readers who know their stuff, who will challenge me and my arguments and who grace RedState with insights that enhance and elevate the discourse. My fellow Contributors are wonderful people; I have only met five of them but all of them are family as far as I am concerned and each of them invests heart and soul in this site.
That is particularly true of people like Erick, who have been working so long and so hard on the creation and establishment of RedState 3.0. In all of our deliberations on the site, Erick has focused primarily on making RedState a dynamic and innovative website. A website worthy of its august readers.
This mission was and is a demanding one. It was intellectually demanding. It was logistically demanding. And it is financially demanding as well. And that's because Erick and all of us who work with him want to give you the best website possible, a site that enhances this community.
Your contributions will go a long way towards helping us realize the best possible RedState we can. Please give. All of us who have been even remotely associated with the creation of RedState are very excited about the changes and innovations that are coming here. Those changes are worthy of your support.
The best damn blog readership around can help create the best damn blog around. Pitch in, and all of us can make it happen.
