'Gay nerd' notices conservative politician forgot to renew his website, hilariously takes it over

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/03/25/1373224/--Gay-nerd-notices-conservative-politician-forgot-to-renew-his-website-hilariously-takes-it-over

Idaho state Rep. Paul Shepherd has been diligently working to roll back equal rights. Just last week he called on Congress to impeach federal judges who struck down discriminatory marriage bans in places like Shepherd's home state of Idaho.

Not only did he waste time and money on his bigoted proposal, he caught the attention of gay rights activists—something he's probably regretting right about now. And that is where reddit user—and self-described "gay nerd"—TibitXimer stepped in:

Rep. Paul Shepherd urges congress to impeach judges who rule in favor of same-sex marriage, so I bought his campaign site before he renewed it to promote same-sex marriage

I now own his website: http://paulshepherdusa.com His twitter which shows it's his official site: https://twitter.com/...

Any ideas of what should be posted on it? Haven't had much time to add anything.

EDIT: Site was hugged to death by reddit, working on adding more resources to the server, didn't expect tens of thousands of viewers.
