Read a fantastic article in Reason Magazine yesterday, about how the internet has changed the political conversation in this country. From the Howard Dean days, the power of the internet to finally allow the voice of the people to be heard is phenomenal.
Nowadays, you don’t need to actually physically attend anything to be an activist.
You don’t have to go to a tea party rally to be an activist: you can be an activist at your desk, you can be an activist at home, you can even be an activist standing on a street corner, using your smartphone to tweet to the world that you just saw the cops shut down a little girls lemonade stand because she didn't have a business license.
The people have found their voice, and the conversation will never be the same.
(BTW: Don’t forget I’m currently giving away 25 FREE one year subscriptions to Reason. Details can be found here.)
