Netroots are on the move

Published Feb 01 2007, 04:06 PM by Ian Donnis

As promised, Erica Sagrans has an excellent story in this week's Phoenix about the netroots and their efforts to use technology to increase political participation and diffuse political power. Erica's piece looks at this locally and nationally, and includes a fascinating anecdote of how a ring tone became a major headache for the president of the Philippines. Local bloggies get their props, too, including our friends at Anchor Rising and Rhode Island's Future.

The lawmakers reacted cooly to the governor's proposal to save money through furloughs for state workers------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOL. I bet-the shit has finally hit the fan. Can just a single person on the far left explain how New Hampshire, with MORE people than RI has a state budget HALF ours? Other than the fact that the Grace Diaz, Matt Jerzyk, Frank Montanaro, Marcia Reback, Marti Rosenberg, Bob Walsh, Guy Dufault types are pariahs on the fringe who are not taken seriously there

It's a good article with great pics. I wish that Erica would hold a statewide forum to bring all the local bloggers up-to-date on the newest technology and how to use it.
