Behold, a new website that was sent to me from some unknown organization for some unknown reason.
The Conservative Appeal is dedicated to amplifying the voices of our leadership by collecting and redistributing legislative updates to our expansive network of grassroots activists across the state [of Tennessee].
Is this a play off our local hackery, The Commercial Appeal? I’m not sure.
The site says it’s “a public service of districtconnect.com,” which tells us exactly nothing, unless you’re looking for “a custom quote for your specific needs.”
Who isn’t?
The domain registrant is one Reuben Watkins of TeamGOP and Clear Creek Studios in Pikeville, Tenn.
Did I sign up for TeamGOP emails? I don’t remember. Have I ever commented on their blog? I don’t remember doing that, either.
Did they get my email address (not the one listed at right) from some other GOP event? Probably. Do I mind? Not really.
Will I visit it again? Maybe… to see if they’ve put anything here yet.
Or maybe to see if they’ve come up with a reason why Rep. Blackburn couldn’t make it home for Bush’s “conversation on Social Security,” since my question emailed to her office was met with a generic form letter weeks later. Do I expect that? No, I’m not that stupid.

I got this e-mail too. It would be a lot more interesting if the “conservative news” was more to it than just press releases on topics like:
“Funding For Land and Water Conservation”
“Jonesborough named one of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Dozen Distinctive Destinations”
“National Taxpayers Union Names Duncan Taxpayer’s Friend” and,
“Health Ethics in America”
Whew, the Conservative Appeal has their finger on the pulse of the grassroots!
