- Webmaster Volunteer Assistant:
If you have experience with
webmastering, blogging or computer graphics, you can assist in updating and improving
our websites. We maintain a great many links to Congress, for example,
which must be frequently updated, and you can create new graphics and
special effects. You can work from home on many web
projects to make our site more effective, and you will receive recognition
for your efforts. The website promotion projects described below (WEB
SITE PROMOTION VOLUNTEERS) are
valuable as well.
- Television Production Volunteer Editor: Are you skilled

footage, logos, and animations for our weekly conservative television program
and other video projects would be greatly

familiarity with how to use the media, willingness to do a lot of phone and
web research.
- Voting Record Volunteer Researcher: Your time spent in
researching and compiling voting records on important issues can make a
great difference in educating voters on how their elected officials actually
vote. The results will appear in our website, publications, and even
in the media. Much of the research can be done on the internet, and
for some information you may need to call Congressional offices and
policy organizations.

the news may help identify additional coalition members for
our projects.

SITE PROMOTION VOLUNTEERS |
Do you like this site? Has it been valuable
for you? Wouldn't you like others to find us too? Read how just a few minutes of
your time every month, week or even every day can make a big difference!
Cutting the size and power of government is a goal we all share.
We are looking for volunteers to help even more conservatives find and use our
great resources. Here's a few ways you can be of great help:
- E-Mail your friends and associates about our sites:
www.conservativeusa.org
and
www.howardphillips.com -- tell them how much YOU
like it, and suggest they visit.
- Go to your favorite chat rooms, blogs, news groups, and discussion
web sites like Free Republic -- particularly those you visit regularly anyway -- and post
messages about how valuable YOU have found this site, or post messages about
our articles and TV shows which you want others to know about too. Include the link to our site
and/or a specific page. Newspaper sites often have comments sections on
each news story. Hint: news stories linked from the Drudge
Report reach millions of viewers.
- Webmasters: We would be grateful if you would add a link to
us on any web pages which you run. Here's some graphics you can use:
|

Just copy the graphic and link
the banner to http://www.conservativeusa.org
- List our websites in church bulletins and political newsletters.
- Next time you go to a local political or civic group or club, announce our address to
the group, or make up a simple flier and hand out copies.
- Let students and teachers
know they can find lots of political information
here--great for research projects! We also have a good section of
historical U.S. documents including a few which are hard to
find.
- Watch our videos on
Youtube, send your friends the links, add links to
websites and Myspace/Facebook/etc. pages, and blog about
the show.
Thank you for your interest in helping more people learn about our valuable resources.
Please let us know if you are helping on any of these projects, or any other ways
you are using the resources at our site.
E-Mail
Left-wing organizations often
receive millions of dollars in taxpayer grants, and they
also enjoy favorable coverage from the liberal media.
Conservative organizations therefore rely even more on the
generosity of individual Americans like you.
Donations of
money or
computers and other items are an extremely valuable way you can assist our efforts to
cut government power, slash taxes, and restore our Constitution. Please help!
Donate
online!

volunteer crew. If you live in the Washington D.C. area and have experience or a
strong interest in television production, motion pictures, theater, audio recording, radio,
photography, church a/v, lighting, makeup, and related fields; let us know because we are looking for

conservative cause!
