At Red State Finance, our mission is clear: deliver quality content, keep our readers informed, and champion America-first values, candidates, and ideas. To achieve this, we carefully curate and excerpt content from top-tier sources across the web.
The essence of linking, sharing, and recommending valuable content is one of the cornerstones of the Internet. By connecting people with vital information, our curation efforts bring well-written, highly relevant material directly to our readers, always giving credit to the original sources when quoting content.
When we feature content from other sites, it’s our way of endorsing that material. We don’t just quote from it; we give it our highest recommendation and encourage our readers to explore these third-party sources by providing a direct link to the original content.
Additionally, we enrich each curated article with our own commentary, facts, opinions, and insights. Our priority is to ensure that the quality and quantity of our original content exceed the amount of any quoted material.
Our goal is to introduce our readers to top-quality content from other sites, expanding their knowledge and perspective.
If we’ve quoted from your article, it’s because we found it exceptional.
If you prefer that we do not curate content from your site, please contact us to request removal. We will review all requests and take appropriate action in line with copyright laws and standards, while reserving the right to use material under “Fair Use” exceptions where applicable.
Most publishers appreciate the additional exposure and readership generated by links from our site.
Curation Guidelines
Most online publishers understand the value of having their content:
- Quoted
- Commented on
- Debated
- Discussed
- Linked to
- Exposed to new readers
Social sharing amplifies a content’s reach, impact, traffic, and ultimately, the profitability of the original publisher’s site.
If we’ve quoted from your website, it’s to inform our readers and direct them to the original source.
We want our readers to discover and visit your content. We strive to maintain positive relationships with hundreds of publishers and content creators.
While “Fair Use” standards are still evolving, we aim to go above and beyond the legal requirements. We hold ourselves to higher standards than what’s strictly necessary under “Fair Use.”
We curate your content the same way we hope others will curate ours.
If you wish to quote content from our website, feel free to do so! Use as much or as little as you need, just make sure to add a source link back to our page. That’s all we ask!
Take as much of our content as your readers will appreciate. Just link, credit, and encourage them to visit our original site.
That’s how the Internet was built. That’s what social sharing is about. Everyone benefits when content is shared responsibly.
Most Importantly…
Curation standards online are still evolving, and our practices may differ from yours.
We also publish user-generated content. We ask our users to follow these curation guidelines, but we cannot police every submission or review every comment.
If you’re a copyright owner and would like material removed, please refer to our DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) policy and take down procedure below.
