Fantastic news: you'll never believe what I did with the DP & PL archives...

Hi everyone!

I haven't been active here yet...I've been very busy since Michael first announced that he was shutting down Popular Liberty. I bought an expired Liberty-related domain a few months ago with the idea of starting my own blog, but never got around to doing anything with it. It's now live, and I've added a few test articles to play with the layout. It's still very under construction because I've been working on another Liberty project.

I wanted to be sure that we would never lose all of the great content we all added to the Daily Paul and Popular Liberty over the years. And someone on PL (I can't remember who) gave me the idea. Please read my announcement here:

In liberty,

Kathleen Gee

Now you need a rest from your little hiatus!!!

(But I'm looking forward to hearing your announcement about your next liberty project.)

I've received some amazingly supportive messages of thanks, a few prayers, and several donations (including one generous donation a moment ago, from someone whose name I don't even recognize). I want to thank everyone who has helped pitch in...it's nearly impossible to put into words what this is doing for my morale.

Life was sucking pretty badly for me this December, and when Michael announced he was shutting of PL--i.e. the only thing keeping me sane--well, things were bleak. I appreciate my DP/PL family so much, you have no idea. Thank you, thank you, thank you.  :)

There was so much great content at both PL and DP that I was hopeful someone would be able to save it. I'm not on facebook, but I appreciate your efforts on this project. We have some numbers in the Powerball that we need to check today, If I win , you'll be hearing from me! (Can't promise the whole thing, our car needs replacement/work, but if we win anything I'll chip in as much as my husband and I can agree on.  :) It is likely that a more certain form of funding will come this or next month, I'll talk to him about that, as well.

a whole lot.  This is very much appreciated. i've learned so much from them, and can continue to do so.

I saved one article, my report from the 2008 RNC. I just did not have the gumption to try to sort through all that, and letting it go was kind of a bummer. I don't know that I will ever even use it, but somehow I feel better knowing it is not lost forever. Thanks a million.

The thought that eight years of Liberty content could disappear just literally made my guts hurt. I had to do SOMETHING. I didn't want to say anything until I was sure it was working because I didn't want to get everyones' hopes up. It took seven full days of the script running 24/7 on my laptop to submit all the posts from the DailyPaul archive. I got about 20,000 pages in, and then the script stopped working...so there was a lot of angst with getting it debugged and working again. But if finally did!  :)
