I'm Thinking of Starting a News Organization...

[Carole]

What we really need is The Liberty Television Network.

Maybe we should all go together and start it. Hiresome of those de-Foxed reporters with scruples. Maybe some of you guys are qualified to the jobs. And many people on these boards are capble of being pieces of the new network.

 

[Carole]

Oops. Excuse me--someone else already mentioned this idea.

 

[autobot]

I have been wondering who would get the ball rolling with a news outlet. Good luck! I hope you get many advertisers.

 

[bucfish]

Ted Turner is a globalist but I think he can be changed he is much better than Murdich that is for sure.

 

[Kotin]

I'll be happy to invest in the project, but it needs to be a corporation, with a mission statment and a board of directors. Anyone buying stock should receive voting power commensurate with their investment.

I would suggest that we incorporate with 10,000 shares at $5 per share. I, too, like a name, that is Perpetual Freedom News, or PFN.

i'd buy alot...

This is already being worked on privately!
Discussing in a open structure is a surefire way to make sure this never makes it past the first paper.

If you have shown that you can organize and create projects, you will already be privately contacted. We can not allow un-tested people to jump in on this.

As an example, the private stock issue. Huckabee's supporters are monitoring this forum, what is to prevent them from buying over a 50% share and ending this before it begins?

Ted Turner is also a total liberal, plus if we start out small, we can work our way up on our own earning it.

(I'm also pro-Israel/zionist, I just don't think the US Government should be involved)

I like Liberty News, and it is an available domain.

As for Libertarian, I was looking for a pro-Constitutionalist Editorial area, with the news being unbiased.

Great! I can see that we are off to a grand start with this disclosure!

I've never liked the idea of secret projects, but I know why you're protecting it. I can't say that I've organized Ron Paul projects so my request to help is probably moot. Though I wouldn't mind being contacted if you need help, especially on a website. I can't invest any money but I sure as hell can volunteer time and work.

I'm no journalist, but I'm prepared to write for free for this until you can hire some real guys.

Your issues will be:
- Server
- Domain
- Bandwidth/Server cost
- Web designer
- Web programmer
- Investors
- MONEY (See: Investors)
- Writers
- Editors
- Reporters
- Travel expense for reporters
- Investigators
- Insiders
- Protecting yourself from buyouts
- Protecting yourself from economic collapse
- Protecting yourself from the law
- International reporters
- Protection from sabotage, inside or out
- Copyright office

I'd love to help unfortunately money is a main issue for me.

(modified: Rev #3) MISSION STATMENT (feel free to modify, this is a rough draft)

To establish an independent environment for the free flow of unblemished truth and information to the people,

To reestablish Domestic Unity, Tranquility, Prosperity, Individual Freedom and assure all individual inalienable Rights of the people are preserved in perpetuity;

To return rightful sovereignty to the Individual States; and to the United States, by Moderating the separate Powers as provided by the Original Constitution and the first ten Amendments to the United States Constitution,

To henceforth, and evermore, Assure the intended power structure provided by the Founders.



Please PM me with your pledge of capital investments, I need to know viability. Maybe we need substantially more than $50,000, perhaps 100,000 shares would be more appropriate @ $5.00.

 

[youngbuck]

I like this one so far...also I would like to help in any way possible.........

So far we have 3 investors:

IPM @ 1,000 shares
Nate @ 40 shares
Kotin @ "I'll buy alot"
c/p this section when you add your name, so we can keep a running total.

Spread the word, we need pledges.
We also need someone familiar with media and ready to head-up this project. I will coordinate until we get someone more suited onboard.

I'm going to go back and make a list of volunteers for helping to put stories/graphics together when I determine that we can get it moving.

 

[merrimac]

IPM @ 1,000 shares
Nate @ 40 shares
Kotin @ "I'll buy alot"
merrimac @ 20 shares

I despise the MSM and now believe that it is impossible to get back our country unless there is some other alternative media that has not originated from the top down.

I am willing to put down $100 to back up that opinion. But I've never bought shares of anything so someone will have to fill me in on what to do.

You just did it, you pledged to buy 20 shares, I'll let you know when we are viable and how we will do this once we have concensus.

 

[nate895]

Bump, and please sticky.

 

[nate895]

I repeat, bump.

 

[nebulous]

I'm new so I probably do not qualify although I would buy 20 shares, $100.00!

Okay folks, we have 1080 + "I'll buy alot" by kotin.

We have 9020 shares left to sell, less kotin's pledge (kotin please quantify your pledge)

Programing?

Daily News shows detailing how government action conforms or fails to conform to the constitution.

Programs regarding liberty throughout history.

Short segments (like news briefs) on bills in the congress

Instructional programs on grassroots efforts, and how to run for office.

Other ideas? Add to this list.
