I don’t have the time or resources to raise my own cows for beef or milk, or to get the leather from them for my belt or shoes. So I buy them from someone who does. But what if I just got them for free? What would happen to those that spent the time and resources to bring those things to market? They would likely go away, or at least, not spend as much time and resources creating the goods I need.

The same is true for information. I can’t track down all of the issues of the day, so I get them from others like Michelle Malkin, RedState, NewsBusters and others who spend their time and resources. How are they paid? With book deals and sales, or with web advertising. Where’s George Soros’ evil conservative twin brother when you need him right?

But I’m getting more and more of this information via twitter and other outlets that don’t generate any revenue for these vital sources of information. And they need support.

So what can we do? We’ve made an initial ceremonial deposit of $9 (three times their asking donation of $3) just to kick things off.

But here’s where it gets fun.

First, go donate your own $3.  Secondly, we’re giving away all profits from any of the “Angry Mob” designs at our CafePress and Zazzle stores for the next week to Caleb Howe’s efforts.  Spread the word by sending your like-minded friends to this post. Deadline for purchasing a qualifying product is August 18th at midnight U.S. Pacific time.

And we are challenging other conservative apparel shops to do the same!

Update:

Thanks to your purchases of 13 stickers, 11 buttons, 4 shirts and 4 caps we have just dropped $60 in Caleb’s kitty (rounded up for good measure).  Thank you all for your patronage and most importantly, for people like Caleb and the folks at RedState.org for doing what they do!
