Because I’ve gotten tripped up by this a couple of times myself recently, we’re all getting a quick refresher course. Following are ways to promote your business, your ideas, your candidacy, your event on the “premier conservative webblog in the state of Rhode Island”. (Hey, I’m just quoting someone else.)

The holiday season is a great time to reflect on changes we would like to see in the next session of Congress – and resolve to work in the coming year to make those changes a reality. In keeping with that spirit, here are a few items on my Christmas list and, I hope, on…
I brought our “blegathon,” asking for donations, to Wednesday night’s Matt Allen Show: Stream by clicking here, or download it. Going on the radio regularly and participating in all of the events and activities that Anchor Rising affords us the opportunity to attend are unambiguous perks of the occupation. More than simple interest and enjoyment,…
With Thursday comes an irresistible urge toward honesty: None of our previous “blegathons” asking for donations have broken the bounds of “meager,” and this week would probably best be described as “pitiful” (which, the conservative optimist must admit, is better than “utter failure” and “death.”) And yet our readership continues to expand. The economy surely…
It’s been encouraging to watch, over the past month, our visitor statistics recover from the typical summer doldrums, which this year followed upon some post-election exhaustion. (Although astonishing government activity served to mitigate that dip.) Thus has it been every year and every election cycle: ups and downs, but a continuously upward trend line. Many…

Times are tough, and in Rhode Island, they’re going to get tougher. Everybody is fully justified in keeping their wallets closely held, no matter how much politicians and media types strain to cast it as a sort of civic duty to make sure consumer spending (and debt) doesn’t drag government redistributors and wealthy investors down.…
This is a reminder that the RHODE ISLAND REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY PAC will be hosting a big “Victory Over Statism” Day barbecue event outdoors at the Buttonwoods — Masonic Shriners’ Family Center, located at 116 Long Street in Warwick, on SATURDAY, August 15th, from 1:00 P.M. until at least 4:00 P.M. Like many of you, we…
From Justin: Back when I was a catechumen in the process of joining the Roman Catholic Church, a priest giving a Holy Week lecture in Fall River spoke of the need to step outside of life periodically in one’s search for a closer relationship with God. The lesson applies beyond we who are explicitly religious:…
From Justin: Next week’s highlight, for me and many other attendees, will be the three-and-a-half day conference hosted at the Portsmouth Abbey School by the newly formed Portsmouth Institute. The opportunity to invest some time in the life of the mind is something that most folks who work must normally squeeze into spare moments and…
