Do You Really Do This Full-Time?: Yes, I am one of just a handful of professional bloggers out there and I've been full time since early 2005.
How Often Do You Have A Q&A Friday?: It used to be every other Friday, but now it's a bit more random.
Can I submit columns to RWN?: Yes, just email them to me. But, do keep in mind that I publish very few guest columns on the page.
If I Send You An Email Will It Be Published?: Although I only publish only a very small percentage of the emails that I receive, I reserve the right to publish any email sent to me.
Can I Send You A Free Copy Of My Book?: Yes, but do keep in mind that I usually go through about a book every 2 weeks and I have a rather large backlog of reading material I'm already trying to finish up. So even if you send me your book, it will probably be awhile before I get a chance to read it. Furthermore, do keep in mind that I only do very short book reviews, of 5-10 books at a time, once every few months.
Can I Use Your Material?: If there is a particular RWN piece you want to use, email me and ask permission. As a general rule, I'll say, "yes."
Can I Buy Advertising On RWN? Yes, you can. Click here for details.
Can You Do A Speech At My Event, School, Etc? Yes. Typically, I charge $2000 plus travel expenses (Plane tickets, hotel room, food, etc). If you're interested, click here.
Didn't You Consult For Duncan Hunter's Presidential Campaign?: I spent six months helping the Hunter campaign get out their message in the blogosphere. You can read more about that here.
Did You Have Something To Do With The First Big Fund Raising Effort On The Right Side Of The Blogosphere?:
Yes. During the 2006 election cycle, I created a led a group of bloggers called Rightroots. We raised almost $300,000 for conservative candidates in about 3 months. Now, I'm on the board of another group, Slatecard, and we're raising money for Republican candidates as well. We topped $600,000 in in our first year.Do you do any work for the David All Group?: Yes. I do freelance writing for DAG and its clients unrelated to the content produced on this blog.

Correctly formatted URLs are automatically turned into links.

Long URLS are shortened, but will still link to the original target.
Example: http://rightwingnews.com/mt...s_the_am.php
A Correctly formatted URL starts with http:// beyond that it's up to you to make sure it lands where you intended it to.
Just for fun
If you want to make what looks like an HTML tag for emphasis say like...
...then use < (remember less than) for < and > (greater than) for >. Start it with an ampersand, and end it with a semi-colon.
Are There Any Rules About Posting Comments?: Yes, please don't flame excessively, use an exceptional amount of vulgar language, call anyone a "towelhead," "raghead," or "wetback," continually post off topic material, spam, use racial or gay slurs, libel anyone, troll, make threats, or challenge anyone to fight.
In short, don't be a jerk.
If that won't work for you, I'll delete your posts and ban your IP. If you are banned and genuinely don't know why, email me. If you know you were doing something mentioned above and you are banned, please don't try to get around the ban. Do everybody involved a favor and find somewhere else to post where they appreciate what you have to say.
I am a registered user, but I lost my password. What do I do?: Type in your username and 'reset' for the password and a new, random pass will be sent to you. You can change the password to whatever you want once you login.
Do you sell or give away the email address I use to register?: Absolutely not.
Why Haven't You Answered My Email?: Unfortunately, I don't respond to most email I receive. That's not because I don't want to do so, but because there are only so many hours in a day and I receive so much email that it would take me several hours per week to answer all of it.
Even after deleting all of my spam, it's not unusual for me to receive 1000+ emails per week and that number isn't going anywhere but up. So you can send email to me and I will definitely respond to the press & advertisers. But unfortunately, everyone else who writes may not receive a reply.
Who Is Really Behind RWN?: Yes, I do get this question. I even had a reporter ask me this once. The truth is that I'm just an independent operator running a blog. I don't take marching orders from anyone, there aren't any think tanks involved, and I don't have any big donors giving me cash. Do keep in mind that I wouldn't mind having a large cash infusion from a donor, but so far, that hasn't happened.
Do You Have An RSS feed? Yes, it's at http://www.rightwingnews.com/index.rdf.
How Can I Contact You?: Email me at johnhawkins|nospam|@rightwingnews.com (take out the |nospam|).
