Last year our mandate to educate and activate was particularly effective on many fronts.
Thanks to you, our loyal readers who took action on the initiatives, we provided various success stories easily attributable to your actions. Here is a small sampling of the before and after reporting:

Last year saw a LifeSiteNews.com story picked up on the Drudge Report. The huge spike in traffic to LifeSiteNews.com temporarily shut down our site. Our capacity has since been greatly boosted to allow for Drudge and other major links:
Kerry Catholicism a “Media-Op” Church Scandal led to this Website Temporarily Overloaded Due to DrudgeReport.com Link
2004 also saw stories originally reported by LifeSiteNews.com explode into the mainstream media after we drew attention to them. You can follow the track of the “I had an abortion” T-shirt Story.
LifeSiteNews.com was first to report on Canadian Bishop Fred Henry’s courageous action to inform his flock that despite the media’s constant reference to Prime Minister Paul Martin as a “devout Catholic”, the PM’s support for abortion and homosexual marriage belied that designation.
The following stories created a stir in Canada’s Parliament:
