After much encouragement from friends, acquaintances and even folks that do not agree with me. This Gofundme campaign has been established to allow readers of BrianHornback.Com to contribute to the payment of Attorney fees resulting in the successful defense of a 2013 lawsuit brought against me because of two postings on this website. On September 11, 2015 a Summary Judgement ruling was granted in support of the defendant, ME.
Through our great legal counsel, our position prevailed. It is my intent to ensure that my legal counsel is compensated for their work in defending free political speech. As you know, free political speech comes at a price and this is one of the ways it must be paid. Advertising is a way of helping to pay the legal costs and expenses of this “hobby” of mine that began on August 9, 2004.
We welcome advertisers, businesses, organizations and campaigns. We will work to promote you, your business, organization or cause, there is one local potential 2016 political campaign advertiser that I will refuse.
Many people think that this website is only for Republicans. We are not, in 2014 we welcomed at least three Democrats as advertisers and during this non partisan City of Knoxville election year, City Councilman Finbarr Saunders was welcomed and promoted here. All campaigns will be treated with the same respect that any other advertiser enjoys.
A lot of the main stream news websites now have pay walls, monthly subscriptions. BrianHornback.Com will continue to be free, but if you have the ability and could drop $10, $20 or any amount in this gofundme account it would be appreciated to help me settle the legal obligation that I have. I would be personally grateful to you and will continue to provide you with the news and notes that you come here for and have become accustomed to.
It is my intent to continue this website as it continues to evolve, offering all types of news and behind the scene looks and sounds of politics, new book and music release reviews. I am always open to suggestions, so send them along.
