Phillies 2008 to Fund Libertarian Web Site

April 29, 2006 The Phillies 2008 Campaign has committed to supporting development of a general use Libertarian web site under a name to be announced.  The site will let Libertarians across America interact.  The new site, to become visible before the 2006 National Convention, will feature editorials, contributions from readers, reader comments, recommended contributions, and other features widely seen on political sites of progressive Democrats.  In order to launch the site, Phillies 2008 has committed $1500 for preliminary site development.

The site creator is Seth Cohn.  Site software will be based on the open source DruPal and CivicSpace bases.  The complete project will take further investment to complete.  Contributors to the site, when announced, will receive memorial plaques on the pages they helped to support.

The new pages, whose name will be announced as rollout day approaches, will not be owned by the campaign.   The campaign is buying advertising space.  After the National Convention, the winning campaign will have a similar chance to invest in the new site and reap the site's benefits.  The site will be privately managed, not by the Phillies 2008 campaign or its volunteers.  The site will not function as a PAC, so it will be able to sell corporate advertising and take donations of arbitrary size.
