Shop Right Blog Mission Statement and Welcome

Or, why do I care about another blog?

We know what you're thinking:  Oh, boy, yet another blog, just what the world needs!  And we agree, so this is not yet another weblog covering the American political scene.  Rather, it will narrowly focus -- with the occasional digression, we're sure! -- on corporate money and activism in politics.  As such, Shop Right Blog, the official blog of our conservative shopping directory, ShopRight.org, will rely heavily on the invaluable data made public by the non-partisan, non-profit Center for Responsive Politics on its Website www.opensecrets.org, which in turn is culled from government sources, primarily the Federal Election Commission.

We hope that by bookmarking us and reading us from time to time, you, as a conservative and/or Republican and/or traditional and/or libertarian(?) consumer will be better equipped to make decisions with your money, to vote with your wallet, for businesses that support your values and causes.  That certainly is our mission.  Your input via email (blog - @ - shopright . o r g) or posted comments is welcome and appreciated in helping us achieve it.  Obscene or off-topic posts, comment spam, or non-substantive (even if complementary, e.g., "Nice blog" [Exception: Comments to this post only.]) posts are subject to swift deletion, in our sole discretion.

If you still aren't sure what we're trying to accomplish here, then pick a couple of posts and read them to see what we're all about, thanks!
