Well, things are going very well over at First Arkansas News.

Yes, we've got some great news articles over there, a good number of skilled reporters and more traffic than you can shake a stick at.

Ah, but there's one problem -- all those reporters are working for free right now. Why? Because I couldn't sell ice cubes in hell.

To that end, we need an ad rep over there. Here's the deal -- the ad rep (or reps) that brings in some revenue gets to keep 35 percent of it. Simple as that.

Interested? Click the aforementioned link to look at the site and click here to check out the details about how to sign up and sell, sell, sell.

There's got to be a skilled ad rep out there looking to pick up some extra bucks. Could that person be you? If so, let's talk!

"I Want Your Money" in Theaters On October 15

Bill Smith, Editor, ARRA News Service: A Movie You CAN'T Afford to Miss. This Friday October 15, I WANT YOUR MONEY – the highly anticipated, hilarious Obama exposé that everyone is talking about - will open in movie theaters nationwide.

If you’re tired of Obama’s big-government-tax-and-spend policies, YOU WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE! I WANT YOUR MONEY is a controversial new film about the competing economic visions championed by Presidents Reagan and Obama – a duel of speeches, wit, animation and narrative that leaves audiences laughing, cheering, yelling . . . and engages them in the national conversation about the mounting national debt, and why it matters. After all, IT’S YOUR MONEY THEY ARE SPENDING.

I screened this movie and then participated in two advanced showings of the film to two very different audiences. One in Washington, D.C and one in the Arkansas Ozark Mountains. The movie resonated with both audiences and it will resonate with a majority of people except for liberal elites. Although a documentary, the movie is interspersed with animated cartoons which allows the viewer time to absorb the material and to have a laugh while points are illustrated. Without these cartoons the movie would indeed be shorter, peoples blood pressure would be elevated, and their minds would have been overtaxed with the reality of the present situation.

There is also hope in this movie as the truth is shared about socialism which is destructive to individual freedoms and the well being of people. The words of Ronald Reagan share how capitalism, individual freedom and choice raises the economic well being of all people at all income levels. Audiences will find finds themselves cheering at the end movie when the "Gipper" takes on Barack Obama.

Take your family and friends to this movie. While the November elections are upon us, this movie will help prepare people for conversations with their elected officials after the elections. It is time to hold them accountable at all levels be it Federal, State, County or City. Remember, it is "your money," your family and friends' money and the money of future generations that the government is taking and wasting.

I Want Your Money includes insightful interviews with Newt Gingrich, Steve Forbes, Ed Meese, Mike Huckabee, John Stossel, Michael Reagan, Congressmen Tom McClintock, Thad McCotter and former California governor Pete Wilson, among many others, EXPLAINING CLEARLY WHY OBAMA’S PLAN HAS FAILED, AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO RECOVER.

Arkansas AFP Activists Scaring the Bejesus Out of Barack Obama

By Bill Smith on 9:35 PM

Bill Smith,  Editor: For the second time in six weeks President Obama has taken aim at Americans for Prosperity (AFP). This time at fundraiser in Connecticut . . .

President Obama and his left wing allies are back to accusing AFP and its 1.2 million grassroots activists of being a "foreign-controlled corporation" or a front for "big banks" or "big oil". Why, because AFP reveals the special interest behind Obama's agenda and has a network of activists who are working to combat that agenda. Below is the video Response from AFP:


In the video, there are two photos included in the video which represent the over 30,000 AFP Activist in Arkansas. It certainly appears that Arkansas AFP actvists are scaring the bejesus out of President Barack Obama. One of the pictures is from the AFP RightOnline conference in Las Vegas. Right there in the front row cheering on the speakers are several people from the Faulkner County (Arkansas) Tea Party. Mr. Obama these people are AFP. They are voters with lots of friends, family and neighbors!

Another scene in the video is an audience of over 700 people who gathered at 8 am on a Wednesday morning in the Ozark Mountains in Baxter County, Arkansas to kick off the AFP November is Coming rally. Many of these fine people are members of the local Ozark TEA Party. This event was held on a school / work day during the week, otherwise thousands would have been present. At their last TEA party weekend event, over 3200 people attended. Mr. Obama these people are not foreign corporations, big banks or oil company minions or even lobbyists. And unlike the words in your speech, they are straight talking and do not prevaricate. Mr. Obama, these people are AFP and they vote and have lots of friends, family and neighbors! . . .

For those nay sayers such as Michael from Stuttgart on 103.7 the buzz -  that Ryan Mallett can't win on the road.  -- BOO-  They did it and Ryan Mallett was big reason.  Final few seconds - pressure is on and he did it - CHILDS PLAY!


22 OF 33 lets see this is 67% passing against an SEC team.

Granted - can they do it next week against Alabama.  Well,  Mark May of ESPN says that with his performance Mallett is still the front runner for the Heisman Trophy.

'Benton Courier' now 'Saline Courier'

By HawgWyld on 12:21 AM

In an apparent attempt to cater to the fact that Saline County is gelling as region, the Benton Courier has changed its name to the Saline Courier.

While that might not seem like a big deal, it is to those of us who grew up with the Benton Courier. Still, considering how Saline County has grown up a lot since the Courier was established, the name change makes a lot of sense.
