Welcome Globe News Republican Readers!

PTS made the paper this morning! CLICK HERE (Click on "Blogging For A Living")

If you came from that article . . . WELCOME TO PTS!

Pretty good article on blogging. Jennifer Wilson did a fine job talking a bit about blogtopia in the Texas Panhandle, along with including a pic of Spacedark, one of our founders.

Unfortunately, under Spacedark's picture on the home page it says, "Perryton native Angela Arenivar has a dilemma." I can guarantee you R.Spacedark's real name is not 'Angela'.

How this 'ere bloggy thang works, is you click "Comments" below (another window will pop up) just scroll down and post your thoughts . . . if you dare. LOL.

UPDATE: Someone emailed us asking why PTS exists. Well . . .


Will Rogers once said, "I don't belong to an organized political party. I am a Democrat." <>We are trying to prove Will wrong. . .

<>Actions:<>
  • <>Letters to the editor and phone calls to local media and elected officials to fight GOP spin and lies.
  • <>Notices for local liberal/Democratic meet-ups, etc.

Fundraisers: (have not tried this yet.)

  • For local Demo candidates.
  • Support for Texas Demos.
Organization:
  • Grassroots for the local region.
  • A community where you can feel free to anonymously comment on anything.
Roughly half of us in the Panhandle are Liberals, and yet it is all-GOP all-the-time around here. We needed a voice. Now we have one.

Around 12,000 folks have visited us in less than a year with NO marketing. 'Nuff said.
