Pennsylvania "Republican" Has Only 75 Subscribers

The 28-page premiere edition filled with articles and commentary from conservatives at the Commonwealth Foundation or state Rep. Rich Geist, R-Altoona, has a mere 75 paying subscribers.

That’s far short of editor and publisher Chris Voccio’s goal of 900 subscribers by the time the first copies of the monthly went in the mail.

“I’m obviously disappointed with the low subscription number,” Voccio said in a statement.


The problem? Not enough true conservatives, says Voccio. I don’t know about that, but I do give them credit for being honest and public about the circulation shortfall.

If you can afford 30-35

If you can afford 30-35 dollars for a subscription, it’s a good investment. We need an actually conservative Republican newspaper focusing on important issues. If we all help to get this off the ground, it will help us for years.
If we do nothing, we’ll just continue to be ravaged with needless taxes and silly programs to provide jobs for drones, friends, and relatives.
