CNN.com - Netroots activism arrives - Aug 5, 2005
"Netroots activism. Ever hear of it?
You will. Because this week marks its arrival as a force in American politics. It can claim the political Play of the Week.
The liberal blogs got organized.
"A hundred to 150 bloggers helped raise money, turned out volunteers, got people down to the district and emailed their friends in Ohio," said Bob Brigham of swingstateproject.com.
The bloggers raised a lot more money for the Hackett campaign than the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
"We raised around $500,000 from the netroots, which means we outspent the National Republican Congressional Committee and we're three times as relevant as the DCCC in terms of cold hard cash," Brigham said."
