……….Last month, January, I set all manner of records for my blog. I averaged over 525 visitors per day, making January, 2010 the most productive month of my blog’s seven month run. February, 2010 has brought even better news with respect to the amount of traffic generated. During the first 6 days of this month, I have been averaging more than 820 visitors each day. I have never had a period that productive in the seven plus months that I have been blogging on this site. For all of your patronage, I thank you very much.

……….My page counts are also strong overall. To date I have had almost 282,000 page loads and upwards of 85,000 visitors. As I steadily climb, I hope to attract even more readers and have at least a minimal influence on the 2010 elections. Even though my blog production is down, the nearly 1,000 blogs that I have published will provide a very substantial body of work for those of you interested in all things political. I have a few races within my state marked on the calendar and as the primary slate continues to develop, I will not only emphasize those that I support and the “why” behind my support.

……….I urge those of you interested in politics to offer your time and efforts to volunteer for candidates committed to making a positive difference. I have been volunteering on campaigns since my Freshman year of college at Seattle University. I found the experiences to be enjoyable and very satisfying. We cannot hope to reverse this ugly cycle of deficit spending unless we immediately begin to take back our country from those subversive forces working diligently to strip us of our freedoms.
