What BlogPac.org Is About
Political Action Committees have been the province of the rich, powerful, and well connected.
Once upon a time, the media was a province of the rich, powerful and well connected. But the new blogging phenomenon burst through that barrier, giving anyone with minimal computer skills the ability to be their own publisher.
Politics suffered from the same limitations, where the unconnected and those who lacked wealth were relegated to the realm of stamp licking and envelope stuffing. Yet the rise of the “netroots” - online communities - gave regular folks the ability to work together to effect political change. The Dean campaign was catapulted into stratopheric heights, and even following its demise, the strength of the Netroots helped make John Kerry financially competitive with the cash-flush George Bush.
BlogPac follows in that tradition. Borne from those who spend their times online and embrace participatory media and politics, we will use online tools and technologies to further the cause of progressive politics in our nation.
BlogPac is, indeed, the first PAC to wage politics entirely online.
