Matt Stoller and Chris Bowers
have taken over BlogPAC.
For over a month now, Matt has been the clear blogosphere leader in the fight to save Net Neutrality, and his tireless efforts have already resulted in tangible victories. At the same time, I have begun to engage in a full-scale effort to defeat the negative branding of the netroots being conducted by certain elements within the political and media establishment. This effort includes a scientific survey of the netroots to be revealed at Yearly Kos, upcoming appearances in major news publications, and an upcoming website to gather all of the best work online written about the netroots.
These are important undertakings we are engaged in to defend the netroots, and to date we have done so without any pay and with few resources. While operating within the free-flowing world of the netroots and the blogosphere allows us to operate with far less overhead than most organizations, we cannot operate without any resources at all. We need to be paid for the work we do. We need money for the surveys we are running. We have bills for a lawyer and an accountant.
This week, during our initial fundraiser, we are looking to raise $15,000 to support our work of defending the netroots. If you want to support Net Neutrality, support BlogPac. If you want to improve the image of the netroots in the established media, support BlogPac.
Man, what a bunch of whiners. If Chris and Matt really wanted cash, they'd join the telcos. They've got millions to throw around! It worked great for Mike McCurry! Of course, Matt and Chris would have to lie, make shit up, engage in baseless attacks against their opponents, compromise their core beliefs, and otherwise sell their souls to the devil. But then they wouldn't have to work so hard to scrounge up money to fund their very worthwhile and necessary efforts.
But nooooo, they want to keep doing "good work". Damn do-gooders...
