Dear Friends of RenewAmerica,

We won!!!  We won the domain name RenewAmerica.com just minutes ago at auction.

In the auction's last minutes, one aggressive bidder tried to outbid us in increments of $100 — then he finally gave up, leaving the high bid at $2,010.  Under the auction rules, a duel like this can theoretically go on forever, in 5-minute blocks — and it dragged on for quite a while.  We're relieved this bidder ultimately gave up without much of a fight!

Thank you all so much for your loyalty, understanding, and generosity in helping us gather the kind of "war chest" that would ensure we acquired RenewAmerica.com!

And thank you all for your prayers during the auction.  God bless you.

With everyone's gracious permission, we'll use the surplus funds we raised to strengthen RenewAmerica, improve its day-to-day-operation, and pay off a few obligations.

Thanks again,

Stephen Stone
President and Editor, RenewAmerica.com

P.S.  We still plan to use the URL RenewAmerica.us as a link to the site — but our main URL will now be RenewAmerica.com!  The switch will be complete in a few days.
