been subjected to, the demonization of anyone or any group that might resist,
it is hard to find people who will take a stand by standing up and speaking

to enact laws, rules and regulations without opposition. It has already begun
with the imprisonment of any who dissent It really doesn’t matter if you oppose

OFFERING
Personal
History
Clayton
Douglas is a professional writer with a publishing history that goes back
twenty-five years. He has a business-oriented background that goes back even
further. He has operated distribution companies and has sold and marketed
products for companies from
Clay has ridden motorcycles his whole life
and written for Easyriders, V-Twin, Motorcycle Industry and two of his own.
Thunder Riders Magazine has been operating in that field in
The
crown jewel in his publishing career however, was the Free American, a name
that has become synonymous with Clayton R. Douglas. As the owner of a
successful chemical business in Miami, Clay divided his time between fishing
off the Gulf stream on his custom Hatteras Sport fisherman, the “Sea Deuced”,
writing his new series of “Trevor Cameron, Terrorist Hunter” adventure novels,
“One Bloody Alabaster Eye” and “Deadly Flashes of Silver”, and riding his
motorcycle, gaining all the while, the experience and the ability to
communicate his adventures and knowledge that has made him well known all over
America.
An
earlier attempt to sell one of his publications through a business brokerage
house was turned down by the broker who said that his publication had so much of
Clay Douglas in it, that no buyer would be able to make it work on their own.
The broker was partially correct but successful media companies are those who
have stumbled upon characters and personalities who have built those companies
through their acting, singing and writing or just through the force of their
personalities. The powers behind the studios and broadcasting companies are
constantly hoping to find the right personalities to market.
Clay
Douglas is that kind of personality.
But
you won’t see him in the movies or on ABC or NBC. You won’t read his articles
in the New York Post, or see his take on the news on CNN. However, many
commanding officers in our armed services, police captains, intelligence
operatives, Congressmen, Senators, governors and even Presidents have read his
articles, relied on his intelligence, listened to his words over the airwaves
for better than ten years. A veteran broadcaster has said, “Clay Douglas is one
of the best interviewers I have ever had on my stations!”
Tall,
well built, handsome with an IQ well into the genius level, Clay seems to be a
natural leader. Being personable, having a quick wit and a sharp mind, he is
able to captivate a large audience on stage as he lectures, on radio where
people around the world rose early to hear his take on the news, and any of his
videos will glue a couple to their couch for an evening.
You
may be asking yourself, if the above description is accurate, why isn’t he in
For
the same reason the
Self
trained. Self educated, self disciplined, possessing a will of iron, no fear.
Speaks his mind, follows no orders.
Goes where he wants, when he wants, is rarely late and works with that same kind
of intensity. It is these qualities that make him the nightmare of control
freaks around the world and earned him the respect of equally strong men who
have come back from war to mount the steel horses that are the symbol of the
freedom they were willing to fight for. It is these qualities that make thousands
of copies of Thunder Riders and the Free American fly off the shelves around
the country.
His
travels across this country provide him with the material that will make his
novels and films fly from the shelves of bookstores and video shops. Like Louis L'Amour whose novels had that element of realism
that so held your attention, when he describes a scene or location, he has been
there.
Clay’s first series is patterned after the
immensely popular, John D. MacDonald Travis McGee novels. After Clay submitted a copy of his
manuscript to MacDonald’s attorneys to assure them that he had plagiarized
nothing, one of them commented, “You write just like John D. MacDonald!”
“I
read everything he ever wrote!” Clay replied.
It
is this independent spirit, his research and experience, and the way he meets
every challenge or obstacle that has kept all of his companies and projects on
track and profitable as long as he had the back up systems and employees to
handle the office and company details.
Before
getting further into the details, you need to be aware of the current
conditions he has been operating under.
On
May 25th, 2004, Mr. Douglas was seriously injured
when a woman T-Boned him, rolling his bike over him three times, striking his
head on a curb and putting him in the hospital for four months, three of which
he was fed a potentially deadly cocktail of drugs like Halcyon and Haldol which can induce mental distress, to keep him
unconscious. The doctors gave his family little hope that he would live or
survive with his full mental capacity.
His
sons kept Thunder Riders going but they were not qualified to publish the Free
American. Most of the mail order business was lost and the radio show went off
the air.
The
doctors had no idea of the sort of man Clay Douglas was. He not only survived a
severe head injury and broken ribs, he came out of the hospital to a demoralized
and angry family. His wife of twenty-five years left him three weeks after he
got out of the hospital, after a failed attempt to gain guardianship of him and
his affairs. The court investigator told him he was the most well recovered
head injury patient she had ever interviewed. His sons went back to college.
Left alone, Mr. Douglas still managed to sell advertising, do the majority of
the writing and photography, do the layout of the magazine, cover runs and
events and restarted his radio show on the internet. He traveled to
He
filed for and got a divorce. He rolled
all of his affairs, products, properties and ventures, into CRD Publishing.

PROPOSAL
He
has two established magazines. He has two completed novels in one series, ready
to print, and two in another fiction series needing only a rewrite and editing.
His short stories and articles have been published in many national magazines
He has four films, already selling as VHS and DVDs, and dozens of videos of
lectures and guests. He has established two well-known websites, and has
hundreds of interviews ready to be uploaded to them. He has a stable of writers
and a library of books and a stock of healthful products that have sold
successfully in the Free American and promoted over his radio show. This is a
product line that, with only 10,000 issues printed, and brought in sales of
$30,000 plus per month for the entire time the Free American was published.
Advertising
sales currently, with only one magazine and one man, generates about $15,000
per issue on 6 issues a year. These should be published every month. With the
range of events and story material, this is no problem for a properly staffed
and funded company. There are dozens of conferences that would love to have
Clay come and speak. That opens up booth space to generate fresh subscriptions and
more product sales.
Careful
attention to the websites will dramatically increase the revenue from on site
sales. Acquiring a selection of new products and books create more material for
magazines and radio shows. Clay’s policy of taking on new books from the
publisher has proved to be a successful and smart way of doing business. “We
can’t buy everybody’s book. So we work it this way. You give us the first case or
two of your books, we bring the author on the radio
show so Clay can interview him. We record the show and put up links to it. We
advertise it in the magazines for free and we become one of your distributors.
The radio shows will be archived on the website and may be downloaded by
participating radio stations for late night programming until his popularity
propels him into primetime with Limbaugh, Savage, Imus,
Stern and Reagan.
Small
links on popular sites can often be traded or purchased inexpensively. Changes
in policy
by major distributors have forced many small
publishers off the newsstand where 50% sale is considered good. Thunder Riders
will continue to be given away but the area in which it will be available will expand

shortage of operating cash and experienced personnel forced him to cut back the
publication of Thunder Riders. It is amazing that he was able to survive and
keep up the stamina and conviction to continue on while coping with the loss of
the love of his life, the destruction of his radio show and the temporary loss
of the Free American. Working with a small staff on the Free American was the
norm for him, but the added burden of obtaining articles, photos and
advertising for a territory as vast as
All
of the functions of the office would be taken over by the new owners with the
exception of selection and creation of articles and subject material. An office
and small staff will be needed. A phone room with experienced sales people will
be set up for advertising sales. One would concentrate on local
motorcycle-oriented businesses, another for nationwide companies. Others would
be assigned to distribute the videos and books. One person would be needed to
handle the mail order business and shipping. Two or three ad design and layout
artists would also be needed in the main office.

essentials like rent, electric and vehicle payments. It will take another
$15,000.00 (approx) to print the next edition of Thunder Riders, which will
feature the new Free American as the back half, printed upside down, introducing
the biker community to this superb but controversial magazine. The combined
edition will be printed in extra quantities and sent around the country to all
former subscribers (4000) and outlets and reestablish the product line. It will
also be sent to shops around
The
estimated revenue from past subscribers (if only 50% re-upped) and new
subscribers from an e-mail campaign would be about $80,000.00. Time is of the
essence here to maintain the support of local businesses that are expecting the
magazine to get back to a regular monthly schedule.
CRD Publishing (Clayton) can supply a few
computers and printers and a phone system to handle the growth of the company
for the first year.
We
have a 2008 F250 four door Ford Pickup, a 36 foot Fifth Wheel Toy Hauler for
travel and to serve as a booth for events. We also have a 16 foot enclosed
motorcycle trailer that can be used for delivering the magazines and for
outings or runs for Thunder Riders. Mr. Douglas has a
Currently,
many magazine distributors are requiring that smaller publishers upgrade to
slick bond paper throughout. This is a move by giant companies to force many
small publishers out of business. If we wish to put the magazine into the
bookstores, arrangements would need to be made for printing in
Bear
in mind, that the Free American has always been controversial and explores the
conspiracy version of history. Mr. Douglas’ support of the Constitution and the
Bill of Rights is the primary guidelines of The Free American. His coverage of
events around the world and in
He
believes the American people deserve to hear both sides of a story if the story
is being told without hate or rancor. While he discusses sensitive subjects as
race, religion, world government, the conspiracy view of history, UFOs, and
psychics, he does so without bias, hate or anger. He has never advocated
violence, will not support war and truly believes in freedom and liberty.
Alternative
media was effective during the sixties and seventies and it is needed even more
today. Mr. Douglas has come up with secondary plans using the internet to it
fullest potential to distribute the magazines and his radio shows in much the
same way he has done in
He
plans to recruit computer-savvy patriotic people and arrange for them to be
able to print our publications, in small batches, with blank spots to allow
them to sell and insert their own local advertising into these issues. They
will then be responsible for the dissemination and distribution in their area.
This will work for both publications.
