For some freedom-loving Americans, WND is more than just a cutting-edge news agency.
It’s a way of life.
Take Tom Bennington, of Smyrna, Tenn., who was featured in a WND story two years ago about turning airplanes into homes that act as weather vanes to withstand hurricanes.
Now, Bennington has just purchased a small sailboat, an Ohlson 38, in Kemah, Texas.
“Since names are important,” Bennington said, “I was trying to think of the best possible name for the boat. Long story short, it’s an advertisement for your website. I would like to name it ‘read WND.com daily.'”
 An unidentified boy stands atop a sailboat that WND fan Tom Bennington is calling “read WND.com daily.” The logo seen here was Photoshopped in by Bennington as an example of how the name might look once actually placed on the boat. |
He continued: “I really do appreciate all you and your fine staff does, and you do it with such detail and truthfulness. Collect a mass of me and we have a voice. If tons of people would support your free press, you would be a lot closer to replacing mainstream media. I trust what you and your fellow staff members write. I check your site awaiting new headlines several times each evening. You need to take over Esquire.”
Bennington asked Joseph Farah, the editor and CEO of WND, what he thought of the idea.
“I love it!” responded Farah. “If I had a boat, this is what I would do. I just hope I get a chance to take a ride one of these days.”
“WND fans are great,” he added. “They are loyal and have an affinity for this news agency that no other press outlet in the world can claim.”
Bennington then joked, “With a name like ‘read WND.com daily,’ we expect to sail an “S” pattern to avoid torpedo attack from government subs. I’m sure the boat transom will be in the crosshairs of a plurality of periscopes. I will have to install rear view mirrors on the boat.”
As WND previously reported, another such fan is Jim Knox of Chambersburg, Pa., who sports some pretty controversial bumper stickers on his pickup.

So, last summer, when he found a bike dude staring at his bumper in a lonely parking lot, he wasn’t sure of what to make of the situation.
“He looked at me and asked if this was my truck,” Knox told WND. “I said, yep, not really knowing what his reaction was going to be. He looked at the ‘Where’s the birth certificate?’ bumper sticker and back at me and said, ‘Love ya, man,’ and walked away.”
Knox has another favorite WND bumper sticker on his truck. It says “Drill for American Oil NOW.”
“People have actually leaned out of their car with big smiles on their faces and yelled, ‘love your bumper stickers, man!'”
If you have a story about a reaction to your own “Where’s The Birth Certificate?” bumper sticker, please email WND.
