I'm in, I read a lot anyways and love economics/business/politics anyways. Have a undergrad in business and have started a few companies. Young guy (26) but fairly conservative, though I can be convinced some gov programs are ok. Social issues I couldn't care less about and think the Gov should stay out of them. One kind of radical thing I disagree with most conservatives on is welfare. I think welfare is basically an economic stimulant as most who receive welfare don't save any of this money and it all goes right back into the economy anyways.

Anyways I read like 10-20 hours a week already so would love any kind of schedule y'all would want to pursue.

Good stuff. The entrepreneurial background and spirit will be a great addition. I have strong personal beliefs on certain social issues, but for me, they are just that - personal beliefs that I attach little political relevance to. I likewise agree most should not be the realm of government and that they are primarily used as wedge issues that don't contribute to the greater good of the country.

I think the kind of 10ish hours a week is sounding right. We'll see what kind of additional input we get, but I fear if we start out too ambitiously we'll quickly lose steam. Five to ten hours feels like a doable amount.
