just to help you out real quick so you get more exposure for your articles, as you're definitely putting a lot of time into them -

make sure they are tagged appropriately. like for this, put it under "politics" and use that as your very first tag. otherwise only people seeing it are if we're viewing "new" and not looking through categories, and not many people do that, many of us look at the categories and look at what we want to view there. so check the side bar to see the variety of categories and use those as your tags. :)
