Several days ago, I made a post saying I would build a free website for any conservative running against democrats or RINOs. The post gained quite a bit of attention with over 5,000 upvotes. I want to give everyone an update on what's going on.

Multiple people have contacted me offering to help with everything from graphic design to data analysis. Multiple people have contacted me saying they want to run for a local/state office. Multiple people have contacted me saying they want to donate (not taking donations but thank you so much!).

I never expected any of that. What happens when something falls into your lap? You take it and do big things! My plans moving forward are big. Really big.

828 Strategic (https://828strategic.com) will provide pro-bono campaign marketing services to conservative candidates who are running for state or local offices against democrats and RINOs. I've received so many offers from other people to help out, I'm starting to put together a team that will work alongside me in building websites, creating graphical assets, and working with social media.

If you have already contacted me, please know I am going to follow up with you soon!

I do need your help though. First, I need to talk to someone who is a lawyer or who knows campaign/political law very well. Second, if anyone else would like to volunteer to help out, please fill out this form and I'll get in touch. If you've already contacted me to help out, please don't worry about filling out the new form.

His current site is on Wordpress with no extra security

Why does it need extra security Mr. L33t haxor man? Once the ball starts rolling and the full site launches obviously there will be more security measures put in place. A simple landing page with a email opt-in form generating next to no traffic doesn't need advanced security.

registered with a Canadian company.

Cool, you can do a whois. Great job. Not my domain registrar though.

If he has his own server, ok.

Never said I did.

if it is rented by AWS and others he could be turned off.

Yep, just like anything. Epik could pull the plug on patriots.win. That's the risk we face. Using logic, one can conclude that a hosting company wouldn't wipe out the server of a state or local candidate solely because they are conservative. If they do, we adept, move on, learn, and grow.

Also, it is probably quasi illegal to donate this type of service.

It's actually not but I'm currently looking into this. Did you read the part where I said, "First, I need to talk to someone who is a lawyer or who knows campaign/political law very well." I don't guess you did.

Wait until Democrat lawyers chew him and up spit him out.

Good, bring it on.

There is no way this should be done for free.

It depends on what aspect is free.

It will fail.

Hey pal, go screw yourself. What are you doing? Trashing people online who are actually trying to make a change while you hide behind a computer screen? Wow, what a tough guy.

On the other hand building a team and sustainable business model makes much more sense.

Who said that's not what I'm doing, Einstein

The way you responded to me over some basic criticism is exactly why I would not trust you with a politician. You are a bit arrogant and probably not as great of a marketer as you think.

  1. You clearly didn't read the post or the original post like you claim. Or your reading comprehension needs help.
  2. You offered criticism with zero intent of helping. Your criticism was criticism for criticism's sake. No one takes that well. Especially people who are giving up their time and money to help make YOUR life better.
  3. You never answered my question. Instead you just resorted to more criticism. So, I'll ask again. What are you doing other than wasting time criticizing people who are trying to help the country?
  4. I'm not arrogant, but when someone comes at me, and by extension (and more importantly) a double digit list of volunteers ready to give up their time for a greater cause, I get quite defensive. Instead of attacking the people trying help why don't you actually do something constructive?
  5. You're either a democrat or really bitter from a hard life. Either way, I'm sorry for your circumstances.

I think your concept is noble but flawed, flawed like your character. You don’t know who your talking to yet you are wanting to argue. That alone could damage a political campaign.

All I am saying it is the wrong approach to win. These campaigns need money and flawless execution. You cannot do that pro Bono you will fail and bring your candidates down with you.
